Office Pranks

Unless you look at the keyboard, you won't notice that "N" and "M" are swapped: changing the keytops does not change the letter typed... If my entire keyboard was blank, I'd notice: but I could still type. :laugh:
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Digital man: "You are, in short, an idiot with the IQ of an ant and the intellectual capacity of a hose pipe."
Ah, you need one of these: Das Keyboard[^] I actually have one, but I don't use it so much. Like you, I can easily type without seeing the letters, but if you program, it's good to be able to see the special signs at least...
Gotta run; I've got people to do and things to see...

I share an office with two other people. Lately, my co-workers and I have been playing pranks on each other. Monday: One of the guys swapped my wireless mouse with another workstation, so when I moved the mouse that was placed in front of my monitor, the cursor would not move. Tuesday: He tried it again (yes, the same prank - no imagination). Wednesday: I re-booted his machine, went into the BIOS, and disabled his SATA controller, making his machine think there was no boot disk in the box. Today: I came in to find a chair that was not mine, missing all but one of its castors, and with a sign on it that read "Reseverd For VB Programmer". They had also set the voice-assist stuff on so that it read everything on the screen out loud. Today: In retaliation, not knowing which of the guys did it, I moved all of the extra office chairs (almost a dozen) onto their side of the room and interlocked the legs, as well as a couple of old tires that were in one of the storage closets. Tomorrow: I have a plan. :) (we desperately need an evil-grin smiley)

You mean like attempting to log on three times with the wrong password?

They might not know who did it, but when they look at the logs and see JsopWhippingBoy made 3 login attempts while the access control system indicated he wasn't in the building security will have to take official notice. This is a BAD THING.

Look at logs? DoD? They've more important things to do, like mandatory training in [pick your own irrelevent subject].
..and water fell from the sky like rain.
I've been pinged more than once after security's weekly log audit when I did something at the admins direction that raised a flag and the he forgot about between then and looking at the logs. I've also been pinged for trying something and discovering I don't have the privileges to configure it myself, and needed to call the admin into the lab. I never got in trouble since they were all legit, but did have a cow-orker get slapped for screwing around the icons with someones unlocked desktop.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997If the monitors use VGA... Buy a pair (M & F) of DB15 connectors and wire them together with the R, G, and B connections shifted. Insert between the PC and monitor and watch the fun.

Do a PrtScn of the desktop and save this as the wallpaper. Move all the real icons into one folder and watch at they try to click.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Replace their monitors with ones that only go up to 640x480 resolution. The trick would be to find ones that look like theirs.

Whereas we did fun things like take CACs people leave in their readers and pop them into the microwave for a while. Your tax dollars at work. :laugh:

Much easier if you just hide them. That way you do not have to worry about restoring them to their proper location.

Das Keyboard
I just love it when I read specs like this: "Model S allows full n-key rollover with a PS2 adapter, and 6 keys with USB." I have absolutely no idea WTF that is talking about, and it makes no sense -- "n-key rollover with a PS2 adapter"? Is that Greek? And how can you "allow" "6 keys with USB"? What's a "key with USB", anyway? How can you hit it if there's a bleeding cable plugged into it? If they can't even provide readable overviews, I'd be sticking my neck on the block by buying it. So is it in my shopping cart? Yabetcha not. Would have been, though, because I like the idea, but I'll wait for one that's not so obviously targeted at a small niche market -- so they lost a sale by not correctly identifying their potential customers.
