| Oh man! This reminds of all the shenanigans we had back in school (in the prime of Windows XP). Among the things of: 1. Doing the same thing you did with #7, as in flippin the screen. However, our computers were so slow that you could spam the rotation combination for 30sec and it would go on for at least 5minutes or even more before it was finished. It was almost faster to just do a hard reset most of the times. 2. Our network was miss-configured, which let us to connect two ethernet ports on the same switch together and take out a whole class room. Or better yet, if someone had forgot to lock the room for building switch and do the same. 3. Pupils were not allowed on school wifi back then, but somehow our IT-department wasn't up to date when those popular WEP vulnerabilities were released. Didn't take long for pupils to dual boot Backtrack and sniff out the password. School had to invest in better security until next semester. 4. MSN was blocked on school network. This later became a source of inspiration for those studying programming back then. As an example: there was a program published unto the public network share (deep down) called msn-unlocker.exe which wouldn't unlock MSN for you, but rather create directories inside directories recursively until windows registry and harddrive just gave up. There is of course a lot more stories here, but I'll keep those for reunions and bar nights with friends :) |
