@gitpush Well deserved revenge ^_^

@cwizard That was not the power cord, but the power button connection to the motherboard. Basically pressing the power button did not trigger the motherboard to start the PC.
-
@m0fo yes that is what I ment with unplugged power cable, I am assuming they moved the pc for the repairs thus plugging the power cable back into the socket after the move.

@m0fo I'm just stating why the it guy is an incompetent :)

@rangler >.< i am on devrant for some days. Definitely still a junior here as I need to learn the language better for not getting understood wrongly. I was approving your statements, not judging :(

@cwizard THIS.

@m0fo Oh, i misunderstood the "mate :-/"

@m0fo No worries, you did not come across as rude
Well, that’s one way to stop someone from harassing you online. But damn....
Who. The. Fuck. Did. This.
At age of 20, I got hired as junior dev at a mobile gaming company. We were 2 junior devs hired at the same time and one of our senior colleagues made a prank: he came in the office before us and rearranged our offices in a "funny" manner.
Two days later I waited for him to go home. I opened his PC case, removed the power button cable from the motherboard and then re-arranged everything back to normal. Well, I couldn't resist...
Next day he came into the office and, well, surprise... the PC was not starting. He went to the IT department and they spent 4 hours trying to figure out why it was not working. They replaced the CPU, RAM memory, including the PSU.
I had to go and tell them: "maybe it's the power button jack?!".
I got into some problems for that prank. Indeed I crossed a line, but what the hell... that was a bad IT department.
