Dawn of War Gold; Demo Out
An anonymous reader writes "It seems that Relic's Dawn of War has gone gold, and is due out on September 20th. Published by THQ, Dawn of War is a Real-time Strategy game based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It's gotten a few previews so far - but why trust them when you can grab the demo? Unfortunately, a quick jog through Google didn't turn up any torrents."
Is this 'gamespot' website a virus or something? Instead of an HTML link, it has a popup window, with javascript to detect if the popup didn't open and critisize you for not allowing a popup, then it loads a javascript page which does nothing (immediately closes, looks like a bug).
Try it in internet explorer, it loads a generic javascript library, then calls a function to load a popup window which installs a security threat, err, activeX control, which rapes your machine (don't know about that yet, will have to check later if it tampered with anything), which loads another 2 popup windows which take your email address again, then displays a pretend download window which should theoretically download the file, but seems to be stuck on 0% regardless of your connection speed.
Me, I use an <a href=""> when I want to link to a file. It amazes me the lengths some people will go to to make their website not work.
