sorry about the inconvienence everyone ,i took it off i owe everyone an apology , im sorry everyone , for anyone who doesnt know how to shut down the link , you press alt ,ctrl and delete and end the task.
-
Thank you EVER so much for that piece of stupidity. That link opened over 1,200 copies of IE at my workstation before it crashed the network. I work at a Scott Studios automated radio station... once the network went down, we were OFF THE AIR for 15 minutes. I fully expect to lose my job ya JERK!!!!!!
-
I got it under control in 15 seconds.. but just barely. Boy I really DO feel like an idiot.. curiosity kills.
However, Mandie, what you did is a big, I mean a REAL BIG no-no for these boards. Such "practical jokes", when a bit more serious, might you get kicked off these boards.
I suggest you delete the link, friend.
-
I have already e-mailed HTC and reported this thread.
-
I really dont feel that the link is appropriate at all. If someone would report that to Hitech, my guess would be that you wouldnt have an account here anymore. I also suggent you edit and remove the post completely, or you WILL get in deep with HiTech.

Guess its too late now lol

I work for a broker. This link brought our ENTIRE network down for at least 25 minutes.
That's about 4 billion dollars lost.
I have reported this to the FBI
-
hmmm 4 billion for 25 mins...
can i get an application?????
:p
-
Nuke, if that is the truth, I'd say you're in even more trouble than me. Thankfully, in my case, the station's engineer was in the building and told me he's going to tell management that it was a fault in the transmitter uplink. Anyway, this was a truly tasteless and thoughtless thing to post on this, or any other BBS.
-
Wow... How stupid can a person get?? To post such watermelon on Here...
-
Paulieb, I'm just sorry for the 4 people that lost thier LIFE savings trying to sell United Airlines shares during the time our servers went down.
These people lost Everything due to this link.
I hope the FBI can trace Mandie down.

i dunno what to say since i have no idea what happened other than what you guys said...
however... i think if anything... YOU guys would also be in trouble for what is most assuredly unauthorized browsing while on the job. gross neligence, misuse of company resources, or something. just sayin'. in any case, it's also a failure on your respective company's IT dept (network admin) to allow somthing like that, the failure to ensure a timely recovery, failure to provide backup routings and whatnot for these exact type of situations. any losses rest squarely on your respective shoulders, although some of the culpability, if any, really, might rest with mandie.
in any case i guess posting that link was a bad idea, however, i'm doubtful it was posted with malicious intent. what HTC may do about this or not is up to them.
YMMV.

Thankfully I have Tweak-XP's popup-blocker enabled to prevent such mishaps. I highly recommend Tweak-XP as a great all-around tool for anyone with WinXP.

Mandie, you wonderful witch. You are one spunky woman. I pity the guys who have teeth marks. You are suppose to be trusted, and not bite!

Lol!!..Best thread ever!..BTW,it's over in the O' Club if you want to see it..Just beware if you do.
-
was this the same link found in my thread in the o'club? LOL
-
LoL, sounds like someone not happy about doing something he shouldn't have done at work? Hell I read these at work but I never click the links. But I assure you bellybutton soon as I get home I will check the link in the Oclub.
BTW, I hope you don't do a thing to Mandie, for these blokes problems were a result of thier own neglegence (spelling):rolleyes:
Oh, and for the dweeb that says he emailed the FBI, how funny, they wont even investigate something like this. You should maybe think about the real things they are looking into, like finding criminals and terrorists.
WTG Mandie.
Booky
-
well someone gave it to me and i thought it was funny and i wanted to share the funniness with people but they didnt think it was funny , but im sorry anyways.

Thats what you handsomehunkes get for not using mozilla.

hmmm lets see.....United Airlines...(UAL) ....closed at less than $1 today.... 4 billion dollars lost....life savings.
Mandie posted this at around 9:00 CST which in AZ, that would make it ohhh 8 pm or if they are observing daylight savings this year, 7 pm.... the markets close at 4 EST, which in good ole TX that would be 3:00...
So ,kids.... this link could not have caused the hosing of these "poor people" because according to my trigonometry, the markets had been closed for 6 HOURS
(look ma!!! all that scooby- doo watching REALLY DOES PAY OFF!!!)
... so between 4 people, 4 BILLION dollars lost, I don't think UAL has 4 billion shares and its only held by 4 ppl...but then again, I'm just a banker, not a fancy schmancy broker.
mandie- pack ur bags... go hide in the rockies somewhere ..u right up there w/ osama... :rolleyes:
p.s. you did get me though :p
Good thing i downloaded CTRL+ALT+DEL !!!!!!!! WHEW!!!!!
LOL:D

Man , i wonder if its safe to go to the Con. next year , i dont want to be hated when i go , please dont hate me everyone , and sorry for everything:(
-
lol nuke.
If that link could take down such an important network, the network admin should be shot on the spot, as well as the handsomehunk browsing on so important of a system.
Anyways, it's an obvious troll, so yes, I bit.
Anyways mandie, I wouldn't worry too much about it, posting the link may have been a bad idea but I doubt anyone will remember it in a week.
BTW has anyone seen the flash animation with the soft-talking seal? :eek:
-
Now it's getting bad....
2 People at work died opening that thread. I have reported this to the CIA.
-
Also, it's taking out cats and small dogs....definately getting worse!
I've contacted the Humane Society.

Man are you dense!
Not only did you manage to overlook the true meaning in my post, you also managed to missunderstand what was written in the post as well.
I never said 4 people lost 4 billion dollars. I said our firm was down 25 minutes, at a loss of 4 billion dollars.
I said 4 poeple lost their life savings trying to dump UA stock, but I didn't say what the dollar amount was.
Which bank do you work for? I want to be sure not to bank there :eek:
-
Using mission critical boxes to surf the web, lol lol lol, probably even using IE, you don't deserve it any better. And (I didn't look at the link) it probably just opens a few browser windows and doesn't even do anything really harmful. LOL!
Want something really scary? Try this one (from the website of the most important computer magazine in germany):

(click "Ausfuhren" there, you may need the security patches from November 19th for this to work)
or this one:

(click "Programm Ausfuhren)

This is the best thread EVER!! Especially the tards complaining on how this post will get them into trouble at work
ROFL :D
Mandie, If I'd ever meet you, the beer is on me. I was laughing so hard here at work I almost bust a rib.
Just out of curiosity, since I missed that link. Was it the one that says "You're an idiot" and it bounces around on the screen?

The best part is "IF" in fact these fools did diddly up the Work system it shows a couple things!
A.) they shouldnt be allowed to touch a computer! (especially if you dont know how to use control-alt-delete in a critical situation
B.) They cant read as she Posted a CLEAR warning on it!:rolleyes:
and lastly i open it on my network and showed the whole office! I thought it was funny as hell! Heck it damn near kill my cube mate he was laughing so hard! the guys was bright bright red from laughing!
But mostly mandie these dudes are trolling forget about it!

I don't get it...I opened it on our network, I looked at it and then just closed it.
How did it cause so many probs for some of you?
Oh, and btw...I don't buy this 4 billion in losses song....unless you're a clearing house, those numbers lost in 25 minutes are an exaggeration. If that truly happened, it would have made the national news.
