Holy s***, I just had a heart attack; as my CD drive is really stiff. It just suddenly shot out and lauched a CD at me.

MY COMPUTER IS NOT SAFE

Wait a minute. Does it eject the CD only once? Because I tested that site with two browsers (IE and Firebird) and it didn't eject for Firebird

Man: Baby, I've been sleeping with your sister.
Woman: *gasp* Well, which one?
Man: All of them.
Woman: *gasp* Well, I've been sleeping with your best friend Jake!
Man: Yeah, well me too! And I've been sleeping with your dog Woofy!
Woman: Woofy?! You *****! Well, I'm also sleeping with your pet goat!
Man: That goat doesn't love you.............

* If your CD-ROM drive just ejected

* If a big "PRESS ENTER" page just popped up and took over your WHOLE screen when you click HERE

* If a program on YOUR OWN computer LAUNCHES when you click HERE!

* If a file from YOUR OWN computer can BE OPENED when you click HERE! (It should open c:\windows\win.ini as an example)

* If YOUR OWN hard drive directory can be accessed from ANY WEB BROWSER. Click HERE to test.


Firebird is immune to all but the last, because the last one is a feature. The one before it would work also, but they used the wrong format for Firebird. The CD-Rom drive is because of an ActiveX insecurity concerning Windows Media Player and IE. Thus, only applies to IE, because Firebird doesn't come with ActiveX controls.

The second one is a popup, which of course wouldn't work on Firebird. The third one doesn't work either, because Firebird defaults to opening files it can read in itself, before opening external players. (Also requires correct mime-types.)

Oh, and beat GBK to it!

The location thing is nothing compared to what follows.

Oh no! Clicking a .txt file opened notepad! That means they can open all my programs!!!!

Oh no! A browser that is integrated with windows opened a program in the C:/ directory!
And I can access my hard drive with it!

And then there's the "buy these programs to give SPIES the one-two punch they deserve!"

Spy: *limps in pain* the user just installed a program that may or may not prevent me from monitoring their internet activities!

Archeologists near Mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in Bonn. If genuine, it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to read "To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental." The page has been universally condemned by church leaders.

That was ammsuing...

the thing about opening the C drive from the internet... thats funny... cause it's not they they just made a link to the default drive on 90% of all computers... I made the same thing hyappen when i was making websites and I tested them on the computer first, then uploaded them and forgot to change some links and they opened up my C drive folders and looked in the images directory, on anyone elses computer they would get a 404 error

I think the whole location thing is where the ISP is located.
Mine says St. Paul, Minnesota but I live in Eagan. It's not far though, and St. Paul and Minneapolis are the two major cities that I live close to.

Dear God. Check out the demo on that site. The women are all portrayed in a sexist manner. They looks like freaks, especially Ms. San Fransisco.

Are they allowed to do this?
They have a 'test' for your comps security. Click here and if your hard drives directory shows up, you're vulnerable.

That's misleading. Any browser will look in your c directory if you ask it to.
