Blatant Copyright Violation!

Last evening I uploaded the photo below, with a slightly different crop, in the Photo Sharing Section. It was well-received, so I decided to use it as my Windows Desktop wallpaper on my home computer, until something better comes along. So far, so good...

LOL is this a joke or are you serious Curtis? Cause if its a joke I am laughing.

OMG... I did that to my husband once! Only I used a black box and wrote CENSORED in white across the box. lolololol.

The facts, as I described them, are absolutely true! Except I don't really suspect, the dog, and I didn't call the "authorities." I pretty much know who the culprit is. And I'll get her back someday, when she least expects it!

Hmm maybe you could put an Ice cube down her back

Some people have no respect for, "art."

Sorry, it was me.

Hahahaha, that's hilarious!

I do hope you find the person responsible for this horrible act, and give her (oops...) a suitable punishment! I'm thinking in the lines of giving the person a plastic toy ring or some other silly toy as a christmas present. That should teach whoever is guilty to not commit such heresy! :P

I think something better came along... & she was wearing a wedding ring & felt the need to remind you, hehe.

One of my absolute favorite computer "gotchas" was the time I did a screen capture of someone's desktop, made that their wallpaper, and then hid all the real icons by stacking them into one big stack.

They clicked on all the "icons" for 5 minutes and then called one of the IT guys (who was in on the joke).


Then there was the guy who played a joke on me, hiding my mouse ball (remember those?). It took me about 3 milliseconds to determine the problem and culprit. The next time he logged into the network (I was the sysadmin) his screen flashed "EAT ME" in 6-inch-tall letters. It finally went away and said "Don't [mess] with the SysAdmin."

He never tried anything again.

Another fun trick that only works on optical mice is to put a piece of see through tape under the mouse... very hard to spot if well done, and the mouse is rather hard to use

Actually, I think is the 8.0 PSP Gremlins, maybe if you bought 9.0 such nasties wouldn't be happening.

Gremlins! Is this what happens before or after you feed them after midnight?

Curtis, I think you need to start using the "Control, Alt, Delete, before you leave your seat" rhyme.

Curtis,

I think you should make a print of the altered image. Then roll it up, go to the culprit, and put the print where your subject has her dollar. . .

Have Fun,

The most fun practial computer joke I did at work was to use the less secure idea with start-up and shut-down applications on the company's Mac's. I just made an alias of computer A's shut-down application and used it in computer B's start-up items folder. So when Computer B stared his computer he also automatically closed down computer A's computer. Of course I did this on more than one computer, I had about 4 or 5 computers set up like this. Left work and waitied for the phone call from the frustrated computer tech (who really didn't know much about Mac's and this was my little game on him to show that he needs to study more). Had him turn off all the plug-ins before starting the computer (of course that took care of the problem, but then no other software was working satisfactory). So on his next call I told him to just turn off the start-up and shut-down folders. After all, they did need to make the deadline for the newspaper.
