    The easiest way is to plot to pdf in Autocad with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. Works every time.

    I don't get it. You want to crash a computer to the point where you can or cannot access it? o_O

    Running over the computer with an M1A2 Abram would do it... would technically count as a crash

    but seriously it doesnt sound like something someone on the up and up would do.

    Sounds like you want to "F" someone over. :eek:
    You could go web surfing along some foreign chinese sites with no antivirus protection or firewall and get as many trojans, viruses, spyware as you can.
    ;)
