Re: this is fun?

I wouldn't call that fun.  It took my system to 100% cpu usage, spawned a 
ton of windows, and eventually caused firefox to crash.  I guess that crash 
was firefox's built-in protection mechanism against this type of DoS.  :-)

I haven't tried this with popup blocking enabled, since this is my work 
machine, and I have to allow popups so our internal sites work.  (Damn, lazy 
web developers...)
