I'll help. Here's a link to the actual proof of concept in an html file. They seem to have disabled it on the serverside at MozFo, but you can see how it was performed.

As you said, everything is relative.

Was that IE under XP SP2?

Because for example, this pop-up (link stolen from a comment by 'alatesystems') works under FF, but gets promptly blocked under IE SP2.

I am not going back to IE or anything, or saying that anyone should, but things are not black and white.

OK. So I have been seeing more popups in FF recently and I thought this might be cool.
I installed the extension (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/ni ghtly/experimental/popupsdie/popupsdie.xpi), restarted, but using the Flash plugin test at http://chrisbenard.net/slashdot/ffpop.html I still get the popunder.
Am I missing something?

Here's a test popup/popunder link for Firefox using flash.

You're missing one important point. You can use a junk email address. I send all my junk to my gmail, so that I don't have to see it in my real email box.

I've gotten so far:
One $170 check from FreeGreenXbox
One iPod which I eBayed for $275 from freeipods.com

And right now, I'm 4/5 done on another free ipod from mp3players4free(another credible company, called centric offers).

Centric doesn't really spam you at all. FreeiPods.com IMMEDIATELY sold my email address to every single company they could think of. Centric, just let me give it to the companies that do the offers. Gratis(freeipods.com owner) is making money from the referrals and from direct selling of the email address.

I would urge anyone who only wants to do one iPod offer to do the Centric free iPod.

They only make money off people who forget to cancel offers, or who like the offers. For instance, my dad did one of the referrals for Blockbuster, and now he uses that online service. He even upgraded it to the 5 out at a time plan.

</rant>, but I don't see a problem with giving the info to these people if they just spam your crap email.

I tried it on an xp SP1 box and it just freezes it.

I tried it on Mozilla 1.7.3 and it freezes it for about a minute, and then unfreezes and shows a blank IFRAME.

Slashdot First With Computerized Story Posting

Now with Computerized Story Posting, the artificial intelligence "seeks out" stories that have either been long archived or just posted the previous day and then posts them as new material. The program then ignores what is stated in the FAQ and disregards all emails stating that the story is a duplicate. This program is also known as "chrisd".

Other features include "mis-classification into the wrong topic", "making up stupid-titles-that-go-into-the-dept", and the most difficult, ignoring stories that should be posted.

Windows is, has been, and probably always will be the PC gamers OS(As there is still no OS answer for DirectX on Linux).

I have 2 bosses.

Build it on this chassis. It can climb stairs and it's made by the same man who made the Segway HT, Dean Kamen.

Above is the obligatory google bomb for myself.

It really does work. The crashing is caused by it not acquiring the key and decrypting it incorrectly with no error checking. This is what you have to do(the only way I know how, because I don't know how to compile it on windows).

Download it on *nix and do ./configure, make, make install(if you're root).

On windows, download VLC. Run it and open your encrypted m4p file.

Now, in c:\documents and settings\username(whatever you're logged in as)\application data\drms, you have the key file. Copy that key file to your ~/.drms dir(create it) on the *nix box.

Then on the *nix box run ./playfair whatever.m4p new.m4p.

WHAM! It now works. It grabs the key from your ~/.drms and decrypts it to new.m4p. It works! I've tried it. This is great. Now I can actually buy music(Until apple "fixes" this).

If someone could compile this on windows it would cut down this process to 2 steps: 1. Run VLC with the file. 2. Run playfair.exe in.mp4 out.m4p

Thanks,

What does that mean? I must have missed that in "7th grade".
