You are an evil evil man

Ken,

I thought your topic was funny but the humor was very brief when I had enough and had to log off from the internet and resume down loading tons of digital pictures I shot in California early last week and at a large wedding last weekend. Most links provides exits but yours did not and after spending precious time trying to find a way out, I had to take drastic action by restarting my computer and that was NOT FUNNY! [Frown]

you can just hold down the enter key until it comes up with the second page

Claude, just press CNTRL/ALT/DELETE, if you ever need to find an "emergency exit" to anything. That'll at least get you back to your desktop quickly.

Btw, Ken, it would've been much more nefarious if it had uncontrollable popups breeding uncontrollable popups. Then, not only would it inconvenience people, it might also crash their computer! [evil]

I didn't notice that the dialog boxes were modal until I read Claude's post. However, the browser can be killed from the task manager. Under Windows, Ctrl-Alt-Delete will bring up the task manager will work. Under UNIX, do a ps command to find the process id of the browser and do kill -9 process_number .

I also experimented and found that holding the space bar down will go through the dialog boxes very rapidly, except for the name and suggestion entries. I was able to go through all 150 in about 10 seconds that way when experimenting.

The site's made for people who don't know much about computers to piss them off because they really DON'T know how to get out of it! I thought it was pretty funny! [Smile]

Ha! that site is blocked by our firewall. LOL

Posted by Ken Lackner (Member # 1002) on 07-24-2003, 01:10 PM:

Just for clarification, it is not MY site. I found it somewhere. Claude, I am sorry it caused you such inconvienience. (Did I spell that correctly [Confused]

)

Oh man, your replies were making me laugh so hard I had to check it out. When I got stuck it just got funnier and funnier!

Sent it to a few friends. This kind of stuff appeals to my darker sense of humour big time!

At least I was able to close it via task manager in 2000 pro. [Smile]

After the dialogue boxes showed up, I just held down the "ENTER" key for about 10-seconds and it flew through the thing. Even got a congratulatons screen at the end.

Anyone want to place bets that the mods edit the link out of Ken's post and lock the thread with a grumpy message? I'm taking bets, odds are 1,000,000-1 they'll leave the thread open [Smile]

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 07-25-2003, 03:00 AM:

Why Dustin? Cuz of two grumpy complaints? Geeze! It takes at least 5 complaints to close a thread! [evil]

Now there are two links to edit out.

That's great! Liked it so much, I had to do it again.

Stick it in the political forum then I'll edit the link out. [Smile]

Rachel actually sent this thing to her poor Mother, who didn't have a clue what was going on or how to get out of it.... She was asking me for help, but describing the problem wrong... she said rachel had sent her an email list of 150 things... Naughty Naughty to do that to your mother!!!
