    I think it's locked in Vista. Go to the display setting click the Enable Rotation click the check mark spot. It should work now with shortcuts. Don't know though, can't test it cause no Vista. Try it see if it works.

    It only works with certain (albeit common) hardware/software combos.

    At work, many of my machines are out of the box Lenovo's with Intel vidcards and software, and this works on them. However, some boxes are newer and have ATI graphics cards and it doesn't work...you can also disable the hotkeys for this functionality in Control Panel.

    Your IT dept. may have any one of these done already.

    Not a prank at work, but...

    I signed a buddy of mine up to receive information from alternative living communities. After he received mailings from several communities, and figured out that I'd made the requests on his behalf, he sent emails to a few sex reassignment clinics and I began receiving email responses from the clinics asking me for more information about my condition. Touché.

    When i was in South Korea my boss went on vacation and when he came back we had his whole office covered in tin foil. Im talking every pencil, post-it, computer, mouse, trash can with crumpled up foil to look like trash. The entire thing was covered in Tin it was hilarious. Word got around and our commander even came by to see it (doesnt know we did it on work hours :anonymous: ) I actually just sent him an email to send me the pics from it, ill see if i can get them.

    We used to give the guys going overseas from our shop a good send off, we put glitter in everyone of their pockets ( do you have any idea how hard it is to get glitter off?) another one we put a 10" hot pink "appendage" in his sleeping bag, when he unrolled it on the aircraft, it went flying and all the guys saw it. Classic. also put Porno/animal sounds that would come up whenever windows was turned on or woke up. thats just a few, the rubber snake tied to a locker door is always good for a laugh.

    I got a hold of my co-workers phone and changed my caller Id to his phone to his wifes name and text him all kinds of dirty stuff...lol he was so excited untill he finally realized it was too good to be true and figured it out...it was great while it lasted...lol

    I use to bring snacks to work and put it in my top locker, (above eye view) I notice a few was missing everyday and had a clue who was stealing it so I put a mouse trap by it...let's just say my snacks never went missing again...lol

    I like to get new guys when we do our M113 maintenance. Once we put the track back on, I'll tell a new guy to go ask the mechanics across the road if they can borrow a tuning fork to tune the track. They usually get sent all over base for an hour or so, then someone gives them something that might resemble a fork, so they come back to me. I give them a can of spray paint and tell them to paint the end connectors (they hold the track together) that don't sound right. I demonstrate it first, show them what a good one sounds like, then i'll hit the next one, "see hear the difference, that one's f****ed. They always tell me they can tell the difference right off the bat.

    Oh, and telling them to go look for a reel of shoreline works too, or blinker fluid.

    It was genious.

    my work cell at random started shooting off some kind or recording. I thought it was someone using some kind of walkie talkie feature that I didnt know about. The volume was turned up so everyone could hear it. Here is what the message said,

    It called me by name, then said, "pull up your pants, your crack is showing"

    Everyone around me was silent. It kept on going off every few minutes and I couldnt figure out what was causing it. It was like the phone was receiving a call, but it wasnt ringing and the caller id showed a period (.) and that was it.I recognized the voice that was talking and it was one of the attorneys that was working a case in the office. No one seemed to have a clue what was going on.

    A new guy suggested looking for a "." in my contact list and sure enough, there was a phone number saved in my phone contacts with the name listed as a ".". Well, I checked the ring tone on it and sure enough, the attorney must have gotten my phone and made a voice recording with that phrase "pull up your pants, your crack is showing". Any time they called me, the voice recording went off. I must have left my cell phone in my cubical at lunch one day.
