a little code for those of us who hate their computers.

[Loki]

form1.borderstyle=0
form1.windowstate=2
top:
if form1.visible=true then
form1.visible=false
goto top
else
form1.visible=true
goto top
end if

it's the simplest way i know how to crash a computer, but even if the computer can still stay up, it's impossible to do anything.

[mrbojangle]

:-D *evil Grin*

[xilica]

uhhhhhhhh, you can control+alt+delete out of it

[Loki]

in theory you can control alt delete out of it, but i personally haven't successfully done so.

yea i konw,,,, but that sux to do it like that

[Strike]

um, isn't that the point, xilica?

[Bradmont]

The simplest way I know to install a computer would be to install windows on it.

Hang on a minute... that's not simple at all... dang...

[mrbojangle]

lol

[xilica]

hey Loki,
did u program that yourself.. if you did very impressive... my comp said it was dangerous low on resources when i ran the program...... i had to turn of my comp and reboot... good code by the way.... and you cant control+alt+delete out of it...the screen flashed to fast.

[comrade]

Top:
Form1.Visible = Not Form1.Visible
Goto Top

Would be more efficient :D

[Gorion]

Heh, now all you need to do is add a dropoff tag that makes it startup when the computer does, and bam, That person's computer is gone. If anyone decides to do this, I take no responsibility :D I'm just saying, that if you really wanted to, that simple of a code could mess up someone's computer. Just remember, don't do it unless someone really deserves it. If someone just got a brand new 3.2 ghz pentium 4, 2 gigs of ram, etc etc, it's somewhat horrible to destroy it. Though if they take the bait, you gotta wonder how they ever didn't stick their head in a blender growing up.

*Walk up to sysadmin*

"Here's the latest patch from MS. Run it on your file and database servers immediately!"

Heehe. With all the stupid sysadmins out there who can't even set a firewall to block what rightly are LAN ports from accessing the WAN, this should be a piece of cake.

Oh, and it's easy to ctrl+alt+del out of it, at least on Win XP/2k it is, because they're so much more robust than 9x.

EDIT: If yo uput the code to run at startup, it wouldn't really be the user's fault....
Also, it would be easy to boot in to dos and edit the file out the startup procedure...

Actually.....you can even call the API tp disable crtl+alt+del....
it's not that hard and it really disables! :sick:

[TheBeansprout]

*evil grin*
You could also update the registry and disable ctrl+alt+del that way...there's a hidden switch.....set the value to 2, and ctrl+alt+del is disabled :)

Of course, on NT/2k/XP, that means you can't ever log on again....

[DJTech]

Laugh. Can you use that program without VB? :)

[Latem]

form1.borderstyle=0
form1.windowstate=2
top:
if form1.visible=true then
form1.visible=false
goto top
else
form1.visible=true
goto top
end if


can some1 explain to me why this crashes the computer?
It just sets form maximized, and then sets it visible and then not visible, back and forth, right?
so what's crashing the comp?
its not like its eatting up ram or something.
I also cant see why you wouldnt be able to kill it from task menager.

for a website that kinda attempts to crash your comp, but you can get out of it, go here:

I ran it, from a debug in vb, then from an executable, and my computer escaped twice.

OS: Windows XP
RAM: 512
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.6 Ghz
Method: CTRL+ALT+DELETE, right click, "Go to Process", Right Click, End Process

I'm sure it would crash the computers at school...

BTW: My computer didn't even notice that crash site, lol. I right clicked the window on the tab near the start menu and clicked exit, and it exited.

[LabelTN]

Latem :

For any pc that is not a Pentium4 and/or running on versions of windows newer than 2k... it will crash.

Why? Because it's telling the window to show/hide in a non-stop loop...at the point that the computer's ressources (like meomry) will be at low and then crash, and also because the window is maximised, it use many ressources to hide all the pixels, then show them, then hide them... it's even though for the computer if the screen resolution is high!

[mcorn]

Why would anybody want to willfully hurt somebody computer?

[Snoopi]

mcorn.. You have a lot to learn young padawan :P

[zachogden]

Oh my god, so they have Star Wars in Denmark, too? I had no idea!

[Snoopi]

Actually no.. I was forced to see it when I visited the us.. They strapped me to a chair and put the 4, 5 and 6 film on.. I was near death afterwards.. Thats why I say these things.. Horrific memories..

I try to forget, I really do..

[zachogden]

Oh, Im sorry. Nobody here in the states really likes Star Wars either, except those computer nerds who belong to webforums about programming and stuff.....

[Snoopi]

Yeah I know those guys, they're too weird for me..

(back to topic perhaps? :P)

[Snoopi]

if form.visible
then form.visible=false
else form.visible=true

Would do the same..
