  1. Ever since our system administrator taught one of the people who are hired to make sure we use the computers at school for school stuff how to use this program which allows him to look at and take over our systems, I've had my mouse moving around like a mad-man, and I literally can't do my school stuff for a few minutes as I desperately try to protect the programs I need from accidentally being closed by him or otherwise turned into an unusable state. It's kinda funny, actually, and Ctrl+S makes it pretty possible to save your work before any damage can be caused.

    1. @omni Create a program bound to a keyboard shortcut that displays ponies and use the keyboard shortcut when your mouse starts moving.

      1. @redenchilada And lose my account for 4 weeks? No, thanks. I know it's hard to believe, but I actually do school stuff at school. I'm one of those crazy people that actually like writing reports, especially if I can do so in LaTeX.

        1. @omni Your school seems awfully invasive. Wanting to make sure kids aren't goofing off, sure, I can see that, but why does he need to take control of your system to do so?

          1. @redenchilada He doesn't, he simply is terrible with computers and doesn't understand well how the program works, and accidentally ends up taking over our mouse because he is used to putting his mouse on stuff to get an explanation of what it does.

            1. @omni Complain to the teacher. ""Ms. Whatsyourface! My mouse is moving all by itself! I think my computer's possessed. Can I perform an exorcism on it?"

              1. @redenchilada I'd rather leave creepy witchcraft stuff to my ex :x
