Today while studying for my exams I got a bit bored so I decided to install windows 95 on a bunch of computers in the college. The best bit of this was when one of the technician came into the lab and saw the computer running windows 95 and just assumed that someone had messed with the setting on xp

Cool story, bro.
 
Sounds like your sysadmin needs a good firing for his shitty security, though.

@Elbon: did he keep it install, because even if he reinstalls XP, he still can't play Just Cause 2

Except for BIOS password or full hard disk encryption. 
 
Still, that's pretty damn funny.  Do 3.11 next time.  lol

@Elbon:  Sounds like they need to get you into the IT department. They might cut off your technology use at school if they find out who you are... I'm sure what you did goes against the technology TOS, or whatever they want to call it at your school.
 
... But it's not like I haven't done anything "forbidden" on a school computer.
 
Morel: Cool story, bro. Don't get caught.

Here another one of favoured thing to F over the collage. Ever student in the college has a printer account and at the begininng of the year we get 5€ printer credit. Now What I like to do is turn all my notes in to pdfs and merge them all together ( 523 pages this year) and go to the IT centre and print it all out. Why do I merge all the pdf together? because the printer credits the account into the minus if your printing the same document so my account balance stands at -36.84€ and the college won't come looking for that.
