That really is crazy! lol

I had to try it out, and I was shocked when it worked.

That really is poor.

Box for testing exploits? Are you one of those script kids who likes to try and own Windows boxes?

Windows 2000 with IE crashed when I tried this at work, and Window 2000 has never crashed on me before.

This is the first time my XP system has hung since I've fixed the graphics driver problem.

Not long ago muzzy was bitching about a bug like this in Firefox, I wonder what he has to say about this? :D

Isn't the bug either in the kernel or the NT equivalent of the X window system?

What's the betting Microsoft won't patch the operating system and just patch Internet Explorer to get round the problem and fuck all the alternative browser lusers.

What's also funny is MS paint isn't affected by this, if you set the image attributes to 9999999, 9999999 then an error message is displayed. :D

Yep. That supports my "it's an Nvida driver bug, not a Windows bug" theory.

Orethius' machine didn't crash and he's not using an NVidia card.

How about the rest of you who's machines  crashed when you tried it....are you guys running NVidia cards?

WMD - But you're running Vmware right? The video card brand shouldn't matter in that case. It should only matter if you're running Windows natively. Personally I'm running Vmware with an ATI card.

Doesn't look like a nVidia issue. I've heard from a lot of people who have gotten the bluescreen or reboot with ATI cards. Some with nVidia cards also only get slowdowns and not BSOD/reboot.

Looks like kernel or driver issue. Still if It's a driver issue It's the fault of Windows because it lets the graphics driver run on "ring 0" (kernel level) which is idiotic. In other systems graphics drivers run on "ring 3" for ex X.

yeah, there goes my nvidia theory. Curious - what does the bluescreen say on machines with ATI cards? Does it reference the ati driver?

Chipset driver issue perhaps?

I tested this on Windows 2000 and I have an Nvidia Geforce FX 5700 card, my system hung, but I tried it on Slackware 10.1 and it was fine (flat green picture with a hidden norwegian? website bottom-left)

I also got people with ATI cards to test it, and their system either hung or rebooted, although one of those people has an NForce chipset.

I tried the webpage on Windows mobile 2003SE (PDA) and it showed the "You're lucky..." text instead. Seems it only affects desktop Windows.

Dude, there are drivers in linux run at ring0. If they cause a kpanic will you blame linux?
