I've only really done two work-related hacks that have made me feel bad...

The first was back in like 1996 and I think it involved downloading a batch file inside Netscape in order to start a terminal emulator program.

The second was today, when I used System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait from a Console program in order to dismiss a system dialog that really shouldn't be dismissed.

I can justify these (i.e., the dialog was totally breaking our lab runs), but, at the same time, I feel kinda bad about it... Anyone else have any 'dirty hack' stories?
