I was surfing the web the other day and I got a pop-up about a program that blocks pop-ups.

Alot of those pop-up blocker programs create more pop-ups than they destroy.

It sucks.

The purpose is to shove the irony in your face. It's saying "LOOK HOW ANNOYING THIS IS! Just click here and it won't ever happen again!"

My friend and I actually made a program that is similar to the pop up stoppers, but it is built into Internet Explorer 6. We basically hacked the source code. And no, I am not giving it to you.

Yea, that is pretty far-fetched. The most you could do is make in IE plugin.

ph33r his bullshitting sk1llzz

Yeah, well, I hacked the Opera code and built a pop-up blocker into it. Then I uploaded it onto their main servers so every copy has it.

Yeah.

*Hits F12 and marvels at his integrated pop-up blocker*

ugh.. u guys use the word hack too liberally... try decompile.. "we decompiled the program and edited the source code." thanx..

love, SyntaX Err0R

We were making fun on him. But traditionally hacking was taking things apart and modifying them, so i suppose it would make sense.

Anyway, decompiling something doesnt give you the source, and i would be willing to bet my life you couldnt get anything that closely resembles source via decompiling now, since most things after VB3 have had more protection.

I also know for a fact there is no way he had the IE source, so the best he could've done would be to make a plugin(like somone else said) or make a standalone program that runs alongside of IE. Although, i am more leaning towards the idea that he doesnt know how to program anything, and thought this whole idea up in his head and posted it before even thinking it out.

Wow ThetaReactor, i use Opera all the time. I never knew that it was you who programmed that in with you 1337 hacking, cracking and programming skills- you are like some sort of anti popup god. [/sarcasm]
