Good idea: the "microsoft sucks" crowd will be your best customers and they pay quite well. Also it'd make crashing some buttmunch's computer a snap since you won't have to write your own virus program.

Perhaps, but all things considered I am talking about car-sized juggernauts more or less permanently affixed to the inside of a building for a time, and the stories of technicians keeping things practical and reducing expenses. [/quote]
Buying a Spyder-3 1 watt blue laser for its sleek lightsaber-ish looks (on top of all the other benefits that come with owning a device that can output 1 watt of coherent optical power).

Superb idea, just make sure you don't use him as a future reference.
Saying you ran the entire Pacific region and oversaw 7 sites in a federal government agency when the only permanent employee in your department went on vacation.
Bad idea: never underestimate a government's penchant for petiness or spite, nor its incompetence for regular tasks with total and blatant disregard for other people.

It sounds like you don't have any faith in his ability as a manager.

Unsure Idea. You might just piss them off and they could morph into crabs (and I don't mean like the seakind either). Then it would suck to be you.
Finding Godzilla, putting a mind control device on his head while he sleeps, then when he wakes, make him seek out and wreak havoc on suicidal terrorists.
On your resumé, claiming that all your previous employers went bankrupt, or went under for other reasons, and that's why you don't work for them anymore.
Neutral: first off it isn't necessarily good to lie on a resume but if you speak the truth then I suppose it's okay to add, second it depends on what the employer is looking for outside IT skills.
A grand theft auto radio commercial idea: "accidents happen and we'll prove it". (for reals it was in one of those games)
Allowing and enabling Hallucination to use a jackhammer on the head of some guy who, instead of getting a shopping cart at the front of a grocery store, decides to yank it away from a little kid who was watching it for its mom for just a moment while she was digging through her purse for the shopping list.

Excellent idea. I just wish I had the kind of money and power to be able to do that to the particular comanies I'm thinking of.
Making the last level of a 16-bit video game you produced after the song "Jack the world" by the band Gwar. (Refer to a recent post of mine in ahto, if you really care to see what I'm talking about. )

Good Idea. Your significant other just might take the hint when it becomes obvious you don't care what that person does contrary to the relationship, since you don't care either. Finding quality dates are hard enough anyways.

Great Idea: Being tipsy makes things a little more amusing that way. Plus you might get laid which I would hope is a good thing. (Let's try to keep it in a positive context! PLEASE!)
(Glad you approve!)

Neutral: While I wholeheartedly endorse a risque successor where XBL is now a place for you avartar's (ahem) interactions, that would tend to limit the audience it can reach to the age of consent demographic. Alienating customers is never good for business.
Installing dummy buttons on elevators, thermostats, and controls of public appliances and devices to give the illusion that people still control things when in reality it's all on timers.
