I see you're using Opera. That line isn't showing up in my Firefox - sorry, Iceweasel on Debian, or FF on Slackware.

Thanks, but like brianL says, it works only on Opera AFAIK.

The benefit/cost ratio is still not very good for Opera, I think I'll just keep noscript active.

@brianL, H_TeXMeX_HI see what you mean!!

Some other web sites I visit regularly also react much more correctly with opera. I don't pay much attention to which ones they are - and my 70+ year old memory has run out of ram - but when a web site looks flaky with firefox, it usually looks much better with opera so I have started to use opera more frequently. It has some features I really like (ie the attachment in my previous post).

Right now I'm using firefox.

It occurs to me that Robby normally hangs out in the Slackware forum and may not see this tribute thread while it stays in Linux-General. Therefore and thusly I have moved it to Slack.

HA! That provokes a story that I must tell just so it does not die when I do... how to keep it short...?

Late 70's, I was senior global field engineer for US UPS manufacturer. On a new major installation in Mexico City (banking) a few weeks after startup the customer made emergency call, the FE that responded found all fuses blown in 500KW inverter cabinet... made repairs, returned home...

Within a couple of weeks - same scenario... after a few rounds of this I ended up on site. It was always repairable but with no identifiable original cause - but I noticed it always happened on same day, early morning hours... with no other ideas after extensive troubleshooting I literally camped out in the facility on the next target date...

Sometime after midnight the cleaning crew showed up and I watched in horror as the nice lady opened the cabinet doors and (barring my excited interference) would have cleaned the door mounted circuit boards with the brush attachment of her industrial strength vacuum!

Someone who was never identified as far as I could tell had specifically instructed her to do this - amazing she had not been killed, among other things! New lock and key and it never happened again...

See what can happen when you clown around Robby!?

Well this script is made to learn you not to click things you don't know what they do.
It's called "Don't Click here!" and after you press ok alot you will see:
"Learning Experience...

The script that runs on this page does not make any changes to your computer - it's safe.
You don't have to trust me - look at the source code yourself...
Back to Main Page"

I think it's funny
And you don't need to kill your browser you only need to click ok alot of times.

This is nonsense. If I couldn't trustfully click on each and every link found on any website, the entire WWW would be useless.

If it wasn't I would blame the manufacturer of my browser, not the one putting that script on a website.

Trustworthy? Paranoia! Pick your Poison. I tend to lean towards the safe side. Safeguards can only defend you as to the level of the author. To blame the browser developer would not be correct. That's why we are able to append to most browsers tools that aid us. No way a programmer can achieve the best case scenario, some try but most fall short of the golden apple.

As for the usefulness of the WWW, that's why we sometimes experience the issues that we have on the web. I weight my clicks on anything web related. You don't know who you can trust now or in the future. Paranoid issues can be a good thing at times but you do need to have access so use the web with that in mind.

Actually, it made me to learn that using firefox only because of adblock plus was a bad idea.

Only if you use firefox. Opera allows to disable javascript even when it is displaying alerts. Made me dislike firefox even more.

Here is the script:
Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

alert("What are you, stupid?");

alert("Or maybe you can't read?");

alert("No, surely that's not it...");

alert("It was clearly marked DON'T CLICK HERE");

alert("But you, thinking you would be sneaky...");

alert("...clicked on it anyway...");

alert("and now, look at yourself...");

alert("You're sitting there clicking...");

alert("and clicking...");

alert("and clicking...");

alert("and clicking...");

alert("and clicking...");

alert("and clicking...");

alert("and clicking...");

alert("Are you tired of clicking yet?");

alert("Okay, I'll leave you alone");

alert("Click OK to return to the first page");

alert("What are you, stupid?");

alert("You didn't really think I would let you off that easily, did you?");

alert("Tell you what...");

alert("I'll let you go now...");

alert("Have a nice day");

alert("I really mean that, because I'm enjoying my day...");

alert("...sitting here laughing at you...");

alert("BYE");

alert("Take care!");

alert("Oh, yeah, I'll bet you do a little better with following directions from now on...");

alert("because you never know what's gonna happen...");

alert("See, there could be thousands of these things...");

alert("or, this could be the last one...");

alert("or maybe the next one is the last one...");

alert("or maybe not...");

alert("Well, I'm really gonna let you go now...");

alert("I hope you have a wonderful day");

alert("[STUPID]");

alert("Bye, bye... Ya'll come back now, ya hear");

</script>

I am running Firefox without NoScript and yet managed to stop it after two popup windows. I realized the popups took a fraction of a second to load after clicking "Ok", so I pressed the Enter key and clicked the close tab button almost at the same time. The tab closed and a new popup opened, and after I clicked "Ok" again everything went back to normal.

Fine, but:
1) On my machine they appear instantly (they don't "load", it's just a dialog box, script is fully loaded when they start appearing).
2) This a really ugly way to close tab.
