All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Worked fine in IE7, not if firefox 2.0 though
Wait a sec... yeah fine in FF2.0 too.
IE7 scaled it down though (thats why I didn't see it in FF).
why does this only work sometimes? it has only crashed my machine once. but probably 95 percent of the time it does nothing?
how can this be reproduced all the time?

Well... According to that one, I guess MS programmer!
Windows Vista rapes you, cuts you and pisses inside. Thought these are just nifty side-effects.

For some reason the idea of someone sitting there hitting refresh just trying to make their machine crash cracks me up.
It might just be that the page and image aren't loading so nothing is getting scaled up. The site seems a little slow at times.
Even help or posting code could lead to imprisoned.
This to me makes DRM illegal in the UK, But than my government will always back big business other normal (?) people.

I'm failing to see that particular part (the intent to impair or damage punishments) of the bill as being a bad thing? In any case, this was a bit immature. However, posting code and sharing code shouldn't be banned. If I want to screw about with the code on my own computer, that's not a problem. It can be interesting, and highlight issues.

I also see nothing wrong with pointing out that your browser is S**t, many be if i had shown how easy it is, to make a CD drive unusable by click on the wrong link, you could moan.

Sue MI5 for using encryption?
[edit] It's amazing how they can make a hacking law that applies to MI5 as hackers but not to script kiddies. You are required to know what you do before you're liable.[/edit]

I'm just ticked because I didn't save an essay and lost it I can't choose my browser at school. Anyway, teaches me not to read forums when I'm meant to be doing other stuff.
You lured people into crashing their computers, losing any open data... That's a bit off, tbh.
