Have you ever left clients with a 'gift' that will be discovered at some point in the not too distant future? Perhaps a code-bomb, or removing source code from the repository, or something that makes them think "damn we need this guy!" ?

Upload the entire code to a public SVN repository.
Put in some code that gives you back-door access to their network so that you can perform some anonymous Denial of Service Attack.
Set some code to change your screensaver to different pictures of Pammy Anderson on an hourly / daily basis.
Put a screensaver that says "I was on Contractoruk.com all day long" (Or you could put that into some form of code if you want!).
Leave a smelly unwashed pants / socks behind a hot radiator.
Leave a condom on a hot lady's desk, and tell her that you will meet her tonigh.
Will that do?If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

Well obviously, for a software company that made money out of its software, that would be a risk. What I mean is that most companies have security policies to keep their data a secret - which is fair enough - and also apply them to their in-house software code, which probably isn't worth a hill of beans to anybody but themselves.
Even so, the source code for Windows got leaked to the internet a few years ago, and I'd be surprised if Microsoft lost a penny over it.Comment
