I tried free-iqtest.net and pretty well aced it but could not get a
number since I was hit with a barrage of junk to sign up for. That is
what I call a phishing site. Every screen would ask for just one more
detail of your life and try to get you sucked in.
The IQ test was way too easy and the real test was to see if you could
be sucked in. I passed by clicking out and now need to clean my cookies.
Next time run the test in a sandbox
until the phishing gets too much
then flush the whole thing.

What did happen was that once I killed the connection and checked my
mail I had 6 new junk mails all at once while I was messing around with
the test site. None yet today but I'll bet tomorrow gets a lot of spam..
I guess the only way to pass that IQ test is to have the sense to click
out of it.
The Internet has way too many vultures these days.
I'm off to check sandboxie.

If you included your email addy in one of the fields
it would have been harvested by their machine,
the sandbox only prevents them from putting anything permanent on your machine.
I know that but I don't hide my email anyway. There is a short flurry of
junk mail and as long as I don't click into one they think it is a dead
address and give up.
Sandboxie looks like fun to play with but for now I am messing with
virtual machines with VirtualBox and VMware server.
I have a tower (huge Antec) and about ten hard drives so I could in
theory change OS's by changing the physical drive or booting from
another drive.
Running Windows of any kind as the host puts your whole system at risk.
Dang.
Veering OT again.

Sure seems to me this "Baka" doper is a dead ringer for Ph.dufus Mike, who was a dead ringer for the HawaiianEye, who in turn sounded off like the village idiot Howard Aslan, who turned out to be none other than our resident UseNet bull sh%tter Steve Kraven Kombat Kramer...See you at your, ehrrrrrr, the Arrest Bash on the 8th Baka (wink wink Stevie boy)...Oh bye the by, any good receipes for us from "your cookbook"...?..:-)
