1.Age of Empires CD Trick
You only need one Age of Empires CD between 3 players.
2.Remember Those Mouse Balls?
If your mouse is lagging, take out the little ball and clean it. It's probably just dusty.
3.The Floppy Disk Generation
Grab the free AOL floppies at CompUSA checkout stands, then place a piece of tape over the lock hole. Reformat the disks, and use them for personal files.
4.The Original DDOS Attack!
If your boyfriend's pissing you off because he's been ignoring all your calls and texts, then compose a new text message on your cell and add him as the recipient, but do it for all 10 recipient-slots for that same message. It only takes a second to do it, so compose a new text and do it again, but repeat the process like 10 more times in a row.
And, there you have it. Spiteful revenge from afar. In the matter of 30 seconds, you've effectively disabled that jackass's phone as 100+ consecutive text messages try to reach his cell at once, like a series of onslaughts. Depending how angry and dysfunctional you are, you can keep this going for a painfully long time.
5. This Trick That Helps To Buy More Time To Submit Projects
If you had to hand in a homework assignment on a floppy disk. Create a word file named appropriately, paste a bunch of random text into it. Then pull out the disk, pull the slide back and use a knife to cut slits in the magnetic tape in several places.
This would allow the computer to see the file with a file size, but it would give them a corrupted file error. Usually gives you an extra day or two to get the project done, depending on when the teacher tells you that they need another copy.
6.Ultimate Payphone Hack
If you have a quick message for someone, and you are near a payphone but don't have 25 cents, dial 1-800-COLLECT and when it asks to say your name, say the message real fast.
::ring ring:: "Hello?" "You have a collect- call from [ma-practiceisovercomepickmeup], will you accept the charges? Press 1 for yes, 2 for no."
7.The 90s Netflix!
When you get a 2-day rental from Blockbuster in the evening, you actually have until the morning of the third day to return it without a late fee.
