I would get 2 of them and make my hdd float inside my computer case to prevent damaging the hdd when I kick against my case when I lose at sc.
What about fixing a lot of the magnets on the interior side of a roof and being able to lift epic metal weight? It'd float (with the exact proper weight) and you could just push it... how
would that be?
None.

You would need some way to hold the magnets in place, something that could support such weight. Also, if you push it, it would throw off the careful balance and the effect is ruined. To construct something that would hold up a metal roof is essentially building another roof.
TL;DR: Newton's Third Law.
1) Tape magnet to ceiling
2) hold huge party
3) shit flies out of pockets
4) profit!

Didn't understand that one. D:
1) Hide Magnet in your silly job boss's bureau.
2) Put drugs into his coffee.
3) When he's asleep, operate him to insert a piece of metal in his body.
4) Gore. :S

If you wanted to kill the fellow you had plenty of opportunities before that..Wouldn't it be funny to see your boss stuck on the roof, crying for help?
None.
Closest I can think of to making anything purposeful with this would be to try constructing a working
rail gun or something.

Good luck.Dude, I realize that, I was joking, 'cause obviously I never lose at sc.

Oh I thought you alluded to the fact that it'd be difficult to keep the hdd from slipping away sideways without having something to touch it to hold it in place.

Nah, just attach more magnets at the sides. Make sure they are configured to repel the hdd + magnet.
What if you threw that magnet in a room (the walls) made out of magnet? Wut do?
None.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation"Earnshaw's theorem proves that using only static ferromagnetism it is impossible to stably levitate against gravity, but servomechanisms, the use of diamagnetic materials, superconduction, or systems involving eddy currents permit this to occur."
"Static stability means that any small displacement away from a stable equilibrium causes a net force to push it back to the equilibrium point.
...
Earnshaw's theorem proved conclusively that it is not possible to levitate stably using only static, macroscopic, paramagnetic fields. The forces acting on any paramagnetic object in any combination of gravitational, electrostatic, and magnetostatic fields will make the object's position unstable along at least one axis, and can be unstable along all axes. However, several possibilities exist to make levitation viable, for example, the use of electronic stabilization or diamagnetic materials (since relative magnetic permeability is less than one[2]); it can be shown that diamagnetic materials are stable along at least one axis, and can be stable along all axes."
Go back in time, back to Medieval time! Hide the magnet somewhere in a battlefield... And have fun looking at the mindfuck!
