Hey, think my dad can use that at work? He's stuck in with a bunch of oldies who have never heard of an "updated, more accurate manual." He doesn't give a damn for the old ways.

At least once every work day, with perhaps some verbage alterations.  Trust me, I know.

*Laughs*

I can imagine. I once worked in a fast-food restaurant with a guy who used said change-of-verbage to refer to everything.

lol... I recently saw one similar, that started off something about downloading some virus, in the bottom it had buttons for abort, continue, cancel, but no matter which one you pushed it said something like too late, continuing anyway. Then it went through installing virus, updating virus, deleting all data from drive c, and finally "Letting Smoke Out Of Processor" with some skull and crossbones answer. You were supposed to install it as a screen-saver on your wife's laptop or a co-worker machine.

My favorite was one which altered words on the screen... but very very infrequently, so that you wouldn't notice. 

It was funny to see someone typing along, pausing for a moment, and looking back at the screen, only to notice that some of their words had become gobbledygook.  (Of course, it wasn't permanent; scrolling the word off the screen and back fixed it.)  :)

I remember a little program a friend of mine showed me, that, when clicked upon, it'd open a window that would claim that it was now deleting all the files on your hard drive in very technical terms, and along the bottom of the window it would say "Deleting C:\..." going through all of your files one by one. At first glance, it looked like it was really deleting the files.

When you go to tell it to abort, though, it'll refuse, and keep doing so as you continue to tell it to abort. At first, it's very technical about it, maintaining the ruse, but then it'll start making sillier and sillier comments about the matter, acting like it's getting madder and madder. Finally, it'll confirm at one point that it's not actually deleting anything, but still won't stop, just so to annoy you. Eventually, if you tell it to abort enough times (which is quite a few times) it'll finally abort and close, leaving everything like it was before.

It's actually pretty funny. :)

If memory serves, tho, it needed to re-verbalize a few things itself. :P

An interesting program for Mac users is "Lose/Lose," a little art game designed so that the only way to win is to... well, not play. You have a Galaga-style fighter, and you have alien ships close in you. Each alien ship is a random file on the computer (could be anywhere - a random jpeg or a crucial system file), and every time you destroy one, it deletes that file. If you are destroyed yourself, the program self-destructs and deletes itself.

It takes some major commitment to play that game.  ;)

I think I've seen that game before, now that I think about it...

I guess the philosophy part is whether you are willing to lose to data to blow up a few virtual aliens. mmm... yeah that's real deep, man...  ;)
