Posted August 17, 2014 Having seen that I had a thought for a different prank: One that would simulate a dead pixel (and it'd vary the location and color of the pixel, based on the background color), perhaps every couple of minutes multiple (exponentially?). :lol: What sort of monitor and or computer pranks (that aren't dangerous) can/could you come up with? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fPvPyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 17, 2014 If Keyboards are plugged in behind the computer, such as is often done in schools. Unplug it, but only after rotating the screen upside down. Then, unplug the Ethernet cable. Now they can only control the mouse. If they are a non techie, then they will be stumped for hours to come.

Posted August 17, 2014 Put up a software that imitates a dead pixel on the screen. Will bother some people really bad.
