Except I'm the one that gets the call to fix it...and document the repair.

Me too.
Is there a timer delay on it?
Where do I get one for my "favored" (wealthy) customers??

@Geisrud: You just have to know how to play this one. (and maybe where)

Your computer doesn't do this already? My tech support guy told me it is a feature!

fun... can i get it shipped before april first?

I like that it's plugged into a KVM in the picture. That would really mess with someone. "There's no way that all four of my PCs are broken!"

At $25 it's hardly a disposable gag. If someone finds it they are just as likely to not give it back or throw it away if they figure out what it is.

@strider_mt2k:
Yar. Timed delay would be nice.
Time to get away from the scene of the crime. Since in my office, like others, above I would be the one to have to "fix" it.

Twould be funny though.....
Especially with some of the lack of PC knowledge I work with.

Also: Welcome back, Frooch! We missed you.

I wonder if that's what's been causingasdflwijeflkmj all these problemsssssseliur2038942 todayy

I want one that stops doing it when my boss tries to show me whats wrong with his computer, ie a proximity sensor, maybe an RFID thing... That would be tits!

I'd like a way for this to be triggered by remote.

Damn! What kind of voodo magic makes the mouse move?

Ohhh...the cursor, I see.

OK Get this, the random phone dialer thingy, and the electronic cricket that chirps at random intervals. Someone it going to have a nervous breakdown in 5...4...3...2...

@nutbastard: For reals. Can't tell you how many times I get a call for "an error message that just popped up" then it's not there and it can't be reproduced when I get there.

OK, Stumbledore, is this clumsy headline intentionally irritating or just poetic injustice ?

... of course nooooboooody would notice that rapscallion's circuitboard...

/in a grumpy mood, sorry

You could hook this up to your server in your office and whenever someone goes to look up an information or they go to check something out they'll get a flood of keystrokes think its a hacker and at night you take the device off.
That may cause chaos and your boss to potentially fire you and/or buy a new server.
I'd put it on someone's computer when they leave it alone and then just leave and come back when they're flipping out because they've reset their computer numerous time and the problem persists.

@nutbastard:
@Geisrud:
Yes. Working as a PC tech at any level one is continually confronted with the old adage:

"The car never makes the noise or has the issue when the mechanic is around".

Free and just as much fun: Pry the keys off the keyboard and rearranage them, especially the arrow keys (not everyone is a touch typist). Change the font color to white (assuming a white background). Keep changing the time on the server, especially right before lunch or quitting time. Unplug the mouse; keyboard; network connection; printer, etc. The fun never ends.......

PS-The disposition on the trouble ticket for these "undocumented features" include: 1D10T errors, keyboard controller errors and faulty controller logic errors.....

@Curves: Or snapshot the background, make that picture the new background and throw awway all of the actual icons (or place them in an off-desktop folder). The user will try to click on the desktop icons which will be unresponsive, because they are just part of the image in the background....

All standard office humor.

double post avoidance bump

@Lizard_King: i bet it wouldn't be hard to build a ps2 adapter that juxtaposes the mouses up/down left/right signals... another funny one, works on these old windows2k machines, is ctrl-alt-(left up down right) alters the orientation of the display output. very easy to pop into someones office and do this.

@nutbastard:
Where was the triple warning?

@nutbastard:

How about one that posts the same thing 3 times on blogs?

I've been looking for something like this. To keep-alive remote connections, prevent screens from sleeping, and such.

Does anyone know any CHEAPER solution?

Wouldn't the computer have a pop-up bubble for new device found? (assuming most office PC's run XP)

@Y2KGTP:
not if it's a passive device... nothing happens when you plug in a PS/2 mouse, for instance.

Oy i even tried to bump it to see if the first one went through - why does the wonky button post for every click? LAME. Lame. lame. Fucking weaksauce.

Remind me never to hire you guys...!

I want to put something on nutbastard's boss' computer that goes "GIIIIIZZMODOOO TIME!!" every time he posts a comment on here.

there is a software version of this that has been around for years called "Drunk Mouse". Drop it in the "startup" folder on any windows machine, rename it something else of course, and it will drive the victim insane. It acts like a dirty roller ball mouse.

there is a POT on the board to change the frequency... but I dont see it being that accurate, so i guess youll have to test it out on yourself before giving it a go.

If I was having problems with my keyboard or mouse, first thing I would do after reset would be to check the connections in the back.

An even better way to do this would be to plug it into the internal USB ports on the motherboard (for expansion USB bays)

They would NEVER find it, and even if they did... they would probably be too scared of breaking their computer to actually remove it.

@beyondmp3:
STFU! you want me to get fired!? SHHHHH! Look, man, come on, it's like... hey yeah! hey, this guy over here - this guy will suck your dick off if you keep quiet. What? No? How about this deal: He sucks my dick while you watch, and jerk off. Ok? Cool.

*bonk*

What are you waiting for bitch? Start suckin'!

@nutbastard:

I....Uh. Hmmm.
I'm not at a loss 4 words normally, as I don't subscribe to the "better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought an idiot that to open it and confirm it." theory, but.........

I thought Curves put the kibosh on this? We don't want to send her into "hetero-shock" now do we?

I guess I'm still amazed at how "aaaaaahhhhak!" 2 guys are together and how "mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" 2 girls are together.

@Out2gtcha:
Word. Except i know some girls who think man on man is way hot. I know, gross, right?

@nutbastard: you like

@nutbastard: whoops, *lie*

@nutbastard:
No doubt. I know myself pretty well, and if I'm any indication, (which I'm sure I'm probably not) I have no clue how gay guys do it.

I'm selfish. I'm a pig. I'm an asshole. I'm hairy (NOT however as much as some.....*COUGH* Nut *COUGH*)I just cant see how the decision is made...... who wants to be the "guy" in the relationship? Doesn't there still have to be balance; whatever the relationship type is?

It just means to me no matter what type of relationship you're in, gay or straight; someone is the guy; someone is the girl. Someone is usually butch, and someone is girly. Who the fuck wants to snuggle up to hairy, & stinky? HA..........not even to mention all the back door entry activity. Yuckky.

@Out2gtcha: @nutbastard: Ok, its official, you guys are an item and will son be picking out window treatments together. (FYI-I dont personally find guy-on-guy action to be erotic, but to each your own).

@Out2gtcha:
i guarantee, all things considered, that you are hairier than I. I just look hairy because i have long hair and i don't even bother to trim my beard, Amish style. It's not a dogmatic thing, though; i tend to break out when i shave so i stopped doing it years ago. I always rub my jaw when contemplative and dirty hands on a naked face == retrograde highschool pizzafacery. I think there are more women willing to put up with a beard (and some who prefer them!) than there are women willing to put up with a guy who's 24 with the skin of a teenager. Call me practical.

Plus when i go snowboarding if it's powdery or snowing i end up with this awesome ice-beard by the end of the day, and that amuses me.

Never been a fan of the backdoor play either. If i were going to switch teams i'd have to have a faux-gina installed; nothings funnier than farting during sex, and not even a sudden reconsideration of my sexual orientation is going to take that away from me!

@Out2gtcha:
..."Yuckky" ??
You don't speak with a lisp do ya?!?
And you waay over ANALized the whole "who's the guy" scenario...
:-o

@FThorn: Caffeine does a good job of that. It just pushes the shift key (probably the least intrusive key) at a specified interval.

Oh, here's the link for caffeine: [www.zhornsoftware.co.uk]

@Curves: I always liked to take desktop screenshots, make them the background and then erase the shortcuts, Tweak Ui will take care of that pesky Recycle Bin. Presto instant end user confusion.

You stick it in an INTERNAL usb slot and really throw them
