To continue the stream of computer pranks, my roommate my senior year
at Ohio University had a favorite prank. The OU comp. center had a 
really nice 1000+ lines per minute printer with the automatic power
openning door. The operators for the machine in the comp. center were
always putting things on top of the printer ... like printouts, pizzas
and an occasional coke. My friend would first check to see if there was
anything on the printer, then run a special program that would send
a print job in someone elses name that  printed 5000 lines, one on top
of the other. It would cut the paper in the printer in half at the print
band. This caused the top to automatically raise ... dumping printouts,
pizzas and cokes to the floor if the operator was not watching. Needless
to say, they learned fast ... but it was fun while it lasted.
