am i the only one that was dumb enough to watch the whole countdown? it's awesome. you should wait for the whole thing to count down. you would've never expected that. trust me...nothing bad happened.

I thought the end of the countdown might do something cool.

Now I simply think you're a piece of sh*t. And I never really had anything against you till now, seph. I've got three drives that had to scandisk...it takes a long time.

And shut the hell up, biggie

Some of us run 24/7, and after a while Windows can't suffer a BSOD without destabilizing the entire system.

<< And I never really had anything against you till now, seph. >>

Not my night, it seems. I thought that if it said &quot;killed&quot; in the title, had a counter that told you to &quot;save your work&quot; and could be easily stopped by a simple CTRL ALT DELETE if you DID let it go all the way through the countdown, or could be prematurely stopped without any problem by pressing BACK on your browser, one might think before letting it finish.

I do run 24/7, and it didn't BSOD either. Just opened a couple hundred windows before I stopped it.

[edit]not bad...infinate popups are nothing new though. The static in the background was kinda nice. Altho' once you ctrl-alt-del one of the IE windows they all go away.
