Sure you could hack Ares to get their shipping schedule for an upcoming run to snatch a new prototype, or you could use your Trace programs to do THIS and call in a team strike on those annoying telemarketers.
Which would be more satisfying? With that in mind, what sort of non-traditional uses of your SR skills spring to mind that while not necessarily rake in huge money, still caters to some part of you deep down? |

Computer &hacking - make public and secured AR and data in nodes be related to Mylittlepony.
Hacking - hack node for subway/skytrain. Have the brakes apply themselves in time with te beat of a popular song. Gymnastics + cat fall and wall running adept powers/magic - jump off buildings after making a scene to simple walk away after casually Jump in - take over roombas around the metroplex and have them move to random bear impossible areas of houses. Different rooms every time. Then get all the roombas in a house to go out into the streets and form a pattern, spinning around and making random sounds at once. Hacking - make all soykaf dispensers add (insert most horrible flavour in dispenser )flavour to coffee Computer/hacking - edit error messages to mock user |

The users that are scared of error messages are mocked more than enough.

How about changing a log-in prompt to state there's a PEBKAC error upon boot, and no button for logging in?
