Ever get so exasperated with a malfunctioning computer that you literally want to hurl it across the room? Thirty-seven-year-old Colorado Springs, Colo., resident Lucas Hinch did one better.

When his Dell XPS 410 desktop, which had been plaguing him for months, lapsed into a blue screen of death last Monday evening, Hinch took the machine out to an alley near his home and shot it eight times with a handgun.

Readers, do not try this at home. Or in the office. Thanks.

"It was glorious," Hinch told The Los Angeles Times. "Angels sung on high."

Nevertheless Hinch, who runs a homeopathic herb store, told police he has no regrets. "That computer had a bad day," he said.

Hinch's meltdown reminded us of another epic office-tech meltdown:
