Revenge

[MJCfromCT]

Hi all,

Ok, i need some help. A group of us were sitting down eating dinner, when a friend of ours comes running up, saying that there was a fire in our dorm room, and that all the sprinklers went off, soaking all the rooms, and that his computer (and all ours too) were ruined in it. We all start freaking out, until he tells us that he made it all up. Now we may be just a bunch of computer geeks, but we took it pretty hard! So now, we are planning our revenge....

Any good ideas on what we should do to him? Nothing where he gets hurt, of course :) Perhaps some kind of computer practical joke....i've already done the "replace-your-desktop-with-a-printscreen-image" joke....it took him a while but he figured that out....anything else? hehe thanks :)

Reverse the keyboard and mouse connections.

Tape over optical mice laser emitters.

:r

[matthew13l]

my jaw dropped as I was reading the part about the fire in the dorm and the sprinklers ruining everything (before I read he was joking) LOL. Just reading that the guy was joking made me mad!:mad::D

Does he fileshare? send him a faked email to trick him into thinking he's been caught by the RIAA.:D

-Matt:t

[fancyf]

boot to dos

rename windows to winjoke

edit OopSorry
_______________

Do you have admin rights to his PC? If so, remove him from the admin group and change his wallpaper to this (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/fagcard.html). Do it using the local computer policy snap in for mmc and he won't be able to change it.

Mwahhhahhh:t

[ukulele]

Super glue his cd and floppy drives shut. :p

[cbh]

TRASH HIS COMPUTER...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

[MJCfromCT]

great ideas coming forth so far!

I think i'll try taping over his optical mouse, switching the mouse and keyboard connectors

steevo, i am definately going to try your prank...he is usually out of his room for hours at a time with his computer just sitting there running, so I think that i can do pretty much anything I want to it

I'll create a new thread once we have organized our forces and have moved in for the attack :)

[bushmaster]

If he's runng XP delete "wpa.bak" and "wpa.dbl" from the windows "system32" folder

[MJCfromCT]

bushmaster,

sounds interesting, but what will it do?

BTW he is running XP Pro, 1800+, 9500 Pro...i was thinking of taking the molex power cord off the 9500 Pro also :)

[fancyf]

who moi ?!

I didn't come up with that idea.. bushmaster did! :x

[bushmaster]

what ? So he has to call MS and reactivate the product. It's not like I told him to use the tool to switch the product key to the same as the devils own product key and then kill those files. Oops, did I say that out loud ?

[MJCfromCT]

no, i'd never do that....*evil snicker*:D

[Steve R Jones]

Sabotaging computers sure goes against the grain of this TECHNICAL SUPPORT site don't ya think?

I vote you guys/gals PM each other.

MJCfromCT, have you factored in that he’ll probably respond to your response. What if he isn’t as kind and thinks reformatting is funny?

[ukulele]

Actually Steve, I'm sure the guys are just having a little fun. I don't think anyone here really wants to wreck the guys computer for a practical joke. On the other hand he could use a piece of Limburger cheese in the bottom of the case. ;)

lets see....

Always found it quite ironic that CPU killer got rated:

:x

[steevo]

Another one i do in work sometimes is download and install pstools (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml) on your own PC. Then use it to remotely open up applications, kill services and a whole host of other great, sneaky stuff. Obviously both PC's need to be on a network.

Joking aside for a sec. Pstools is an excellent utility that is really handy for any sys admin guys out there. :t

[MJCfromCT]

Steve R Jones,

I do not want to destroy his computer...he played a joke on us all, and now we are going to get him back...we don't want to do something that will erase his hard drive or make his motherboard catch on fire, just something that will annoy him to the point that he realizes he shouldn't mess with us

[mireland]

Temporarily replace his computer with a Mac and tell him you upgraded his computer:rolleyes:

Ok, replace it with a commador 64 then..:D

[cwin]

You could

Dangerous:
Make a floppy disc bomb
Remove the layer in the monitor that prevents the radiation from getting through the screen (warning... LETHAL!)
Make a lightbulb bomb
Install a random virus
Take a magnet to his screen/hdd

Pranks:
Remove the ATX power cable. The one that goes to the power switch. It wont switch on
Underclock his computer
Make a bootable disc that just comes up with a blue screen, insert the disc and shutdown the pc. He probably wont think of a bootable disc!
Remove his RAM
Make a simple VB program say that his computer will be shut down in ten seconds... and it shuts down the comp
Decide he needs a change of bootup sounds.... member to set the vol to max!! :D
Reenable messenger service
Put an extra fan in his computer, with a piece of tape attached to it. The tape will make a sound like summinks wrong.
Does he open his computer ever? If so, put a spider in there, with a little mechanism that will cause it to be released when the case is open. Possibly use the fan one to lure him into the case :D

:t

[bushmaster]

Ok, use partition magic to repartition his HDD and install MDK 9.1 to that new partition and set LILO as the boot manager on the MBR.

Hang on, that's doing him a favour :D :p

My point IS, do you know him well enough to know he won't erase YOUR drives?

[MJCfromCT]

fishybawb,

your right, that would be doing him a favor...perhaps i could make his computer dual boot Win ME and Mac OS 9 :) hehe in a perfect world

Steve R Jones,

He is a nice kid, and i think i know him well enough, and know that he won't format my hard drive or take a bat to my tower

cwin,

lol, i'm thinking of making a 20-minute wav file be his windows welcome sound :)...and let me know how to make a floppy disk bomb :)

Floppy disc bombs are destructive, and start a fire in the floppy drive.... PM commin your way...
(when i can find the stuff i got)

[cwin]

Ya got PM! :D

Change the startup and/or shutdown screen in XP to a different picture, and have it say, "Now formating Hard Drive"

My dad freaked :D

Shaddup both of you..:D

[gjimene2]

Someone is going to close this thread because of the floppy disk bomb, it's still a bomb, and highly illigal because you can kill someone with one if tyou don't know what you're doing.


For me a great prank would be to take out his ram and put in some that is smaller in capacity and watch his machine drag real bad.


Remember that the prank he pulled on you was just a story, this is actually a psysichal prank:t

[Cyan]

It doesn't blow up, just catches fire :t

I'm all for lowering the performance of his computer and watch him struggle with it :D

[steevo]

It doesn't blow up, just catches fire

and that's good? Hell why not just work the guy over with a baseball bat.;)

[Cyan]

I'm just saying it's not going to take a limb.

[matthew13l]

although the floppy disk fire would be funny, i think it's a little too much revenge for what the guy did.

-Matt:t

[bushmaster]

disable L2 cache, and all cache's for that matter.

now that would just be plain WRONG! http://www.fancysplace.com/smileys/coin.gif

[gjimene2]

no,l it can work like a bomb. I've seen one make a server case made out of 17 gauge steel look like it was pregnant :eek:

[MJCfromCT]

i agree with you about the floppy drive bomb...that is a bit over-the-top

however, i think that disabling L2 cache on his machine and underclocking his processor would be a great idea...he just got a new video card, and is expecting great things with regard to UT2003, CS, Red Faction...what a suprise he'll be in for when they run at 2fps...

[Atomsmasher]

use the bomb

use it

[gjimene2]

I'll go for the l2 cache prank :D

[Logan2002]

yeah the l2 cache thingy is great!
i will try it on my wife.

[pbetnah]

You said he lives in a dorm room...it doesn't have to be a computer prank, you could always penny his door shut while he is sleeping. Ever heard of that prank?

[MomHerrmann]

Hi I'm sort of new, and you all are very inventive and creative and funny!!
I think FancyF's first suggestion is the best, not invasive, just minor heartstopping and easily fixed.
that or short sheeting his bed, not computer related, very old, but reliable!!
;)

[mireland]

Geeze, just stick his hand in warm water while he's sleeping:D

[MJCfromCT]

already been tried :)

[gjimene2]

lmao@the water

Penny the door shut; man that trick is great.

Also a good one is to go on ahead and put nair in his shampoo, but then again, that's a bit too far.

One really cool prank is to put powdered sugar under his bed's over cover. While he's asleep, turn on the heater, and watch him sweat and turn into a glased donut, lol.

Or you can put powered milk instead and have him stink when his pores open up and absorb the milk and sour up, lol.

You on drugs?
