Ask HN: What's your proudest hack?
Elementary school, Windows 3.x era.<p>School district thought they blocked access to the built-in OS games.<p>Nope, from any program (Wordpad, etc) you could FILE -> OPEN to find/launch/play Minesweeper.<p>Nothing makes an 8-year-old feel more like a "hacker" than subverting school controls to play video games, while also gaining cred with your friends.<p>The good ol' days.
