The guys at Maximum Personal computer have put together a hack using Skype that will allow you to make all of the phones in your office ring simultaneously—and the ideal part is that you will be able to keep your job when all is said and done. All you need to do in order to pull off this prank is $10 sitting in your Skype account and the time necessary to gather up phone numbers and set up a conference call. Then just begin the call and watch the chaos ensue.

From the demo video of a prototype in flight, it looks much easier to control than the multiple-crashing Chinook:
