Mac Pranks

Yes the school is full of those crappy pieces of junk they seem to think are computers. That's right i'm talking about the Apple Mac. As Tye once said, "Apples are crap. Macs are better."

He obviously didn't realise they were the same thing, but anyway.

I've found a couple of things you can do to your friends (or foes) to piss them off when they are using a mac.

1. No more ethernet.

Pretty simple but can be confusing on the victim's end of it. Simply unplug their ethernet (blue network) cable from the wall. It is important that you unplug it from the wall, because when they go to look on the side of their computer, the cable appears to be still plugged in. Different things could happen when you unplug the blue cable:

-If they're logged in, they won't have access to their files, it'll probably say "can't access file" or something.

-If they are logged in using the internet, it will cut off their internet connection.

-If they are still on the logon screen, they won't be able to log in.

2. Log Off Shortcut

Press Shift Option Apple Q at the same time and it will log them out without the 'Logging Off in 30 seconds" popup.

3. Speech

On the logon screen, press Apple F5 and it will turn on the speech function. Turn up the volume and wait for them to type in their name and the computer will shout the letters back at them. Works better in the library because of a certain, nameless teacher who hates noise (and technology)

4. Shutdown

Like the Logoff shortcut, theres a shutdown immediately shortcut but you will have to Google this one for yourself. It's late and I want to go to bed. Or at least go downstairs and watch TV. Damnit I missed Rove.
