Remap your boss's keyboard as a prank with SharpKeys
by Brad Linder Feb 1st 2008 at 1:00PM
SharpKeys is a utility that lets you remap pretty much any key on your keyboard. Just fire SharpKeys up, select a key, and then decide what you would like its new function to be. To get the full effect, once you're done, you can even try prying the keys off of your keyboard and rearranging them. Just a quick warning though: your spacebar probably won't fit in the spot where the K key currently resides. We figured you probably knew that already, but figured we'd issue a disclaimer just in case spacial relations aren't your thing.
Also note that if anyone follows the recommendation in this post's title Download Squad and its parent company AOL will not be held responsible for the fallout. But if you happen to snap any pictures of the ensuing fun, please send them our way.
SharpKeys is designed for Window XP, 2000 and Vista.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

If this runs without actaully installing or writing to the registry I'll torture my boss with it for sure.
Otherwise, I'll torture my father in law with it!

This reminds me of a prank I did in the mid 80s when I was working for a large blue mainframe company. We switched certain keytops on a colleagues keyboard. He typed his login details, using the hunt and peck method, and when he eventually looked at the screen there was a very rude message instead of the expected user details. Much head scratching!
Another time, when hardware/firmware engineers responsible for terminal development visited, we generated an upside down character set (generating symbol/character sets was new stuff at the time). Had then foxed for quite a while.
