I have an admin that loves to open bunches of screen sessions and leave them open forever. This eventually kills the box, obviously. Screen is a great tool that does not in any way prevent people from doing goofy things.
I used to annoy my admins in school because i was the monster of
screen abuse on that server.
--> I'll be honest I have been reading this and going "oh yha, that is a good
> one" but I have never heard of screen until now

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
