Sorry, no cigar. That'd be Gibideath. As in "Gibilibitty, or gibideath!"</blockquote><div><br>Yeah, noticed after posting.<br>
<br>
So...I just had a neat little experience. I searched for 'Gigideath' on
Google (in Seamonkey with NoScript), hit the first link (a MySpace
profile), saw a partially loaded page and then had my WinXP GUI
completely lock-up, mouse and all. After a hard-reboot and a full AV
and ARk scan, I tried it in Firefox with no problem; the culprit was apparently a
ani-gif background.<br>
<br>
The punchline, of course, being that you could say that I had a gigideath of my own.<br>
<br>...if you really wanted to. Cheers.<br><br>
