I think I wrote about this before but.... A long time ago I wrote a batch file that would run the shut down function in windows. I would place it in the start up menu of someones computer and just sit back and watch. Imagine your computer booting up completly and then saying "Windows is shutting down.". Now repeat 10x and you would not believe how angry people get :-)

I edited one guys browser page so that instead of Yahoo! he got Yeehaw! (he was supposed to go work in WV) with lots of fake stuff on the page like Entertainment - hunting, chawing, drinking; Society & Culture - hunting, dating your relatives; etc. It was very amusing ... well, to me anyway. The other thing I did was make a VB overlay of his desktop so that if he tried to click on things he got little popup messages. That one drove him crazy. Oh, the good old days. e -----Original Message----- From: Beth F [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 12:31 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Interesting CF Website My pranks are less internet geeky, but I once added my bosses name to Word's autocorrect function so that whenever he typed "Steve Wiener" (his name) it would automatically replace with "Overinflated Egotistical Bastard with No Conscience". the other good prank is to remotely change the messages on the network printers. If you sit near them you can have conversations with the printer users who believe that the printer is talking back. Generally they speak aloud to the computer, I have no idea why. I killed a job and put "hey you are working me too hard" as the printer message. user comes up, looks for job and sees "hey you are working me too hard" as message. User: Who? Me? Printer: Yes You. User: Who is doing that? Printer: Doing what? User: I have a presentation due. Printer: Well, I am tired. User: Cmon! Printer: ZZZZ It went downhill from there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 6:52 AM Subject: RE: Interesting CF Website > A way I have fun... > > Whether it is at work or at a friends house, I open the hosts file and add > entries to their favorite site that point to other sites. > > Always funny to see them type www.yahoo.com and a site pops up that they > were not expecting. > > Jacob > > At 10:43 AM 4/18/2002 -0400, you wrote: > >Try this - for every ad company you find, add their IP to your hosts > >file, like so: > > > >127.0.0.1 x10.com > >127.0.0.1 ads.x10.com > >127.0.0.1 www.x10.com > >127.0.0.1 ads.doubleclick.net > >127.0.0.1 doubleclick.net > >127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net > > > >Whenever an ad tries to load, you will get a broken image, which, 9 > >times out of 10, is better than the ad. > > > >======================================================================= > >Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia > > > >Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Yahoo IM : morpheus > > > >"My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:35 AM > > > To: CF-Community > > > Subject: RE: Interesting CF Website > > > > > > > > > Speaking of unwanted sounds, have you noticed the horrible > > > trend in banner ads where they are starting to add audio/music? > > > > > > I often have Kazaa running in the background downloading, and > > > lately it will suddenly BLAST out the speakers with some ad > > > (like the driven sly stalone ad). > > > > > > Scares the heck out of me. > > > > > > Lately I've had to shut down Kazaa if I'm listening to music, > > > or else the extremely loud ads will shake the walls. > > > > > > Probably the last nail in Kazaa's coffin in my book.
