I helped write parallelknoppix when I was an undergrad - our university's 2nd cluster ended up being a bunch of laptops with broken displays running it. Took me a whole summer.
Then the next semester I am denied the ability to take a parallel computing class because it was for graduate students only and the prof. would not accept a waiver even though the class was being taught on the cluster me and a buddy built.
That I still had root on.
So I added a script that would renice the prof.'s jobs to be as slow as possible.

This is so typical German (I say that as German). It has changed quite a bit fortunately, but German professors are so often sticklers to the rules "aus Prinzip" (for a matter of principle).

BOFH moment :)
