[edit] Broke link, silly javascript exploit
I don't think it's funny.I had to shut down my computer to stop it.I don't know anything about computers so I found that unnerving.You likedcalico have "cured" me from AFF.
WARNING - don't try this. It's hard to shut the thing down and it minimizes the window so you can't do anything. It's not funny, likedcalico, but annoying.
firefox + NoScript = Fail.
I just double-clicked the window, clicked X to quit and held enter until the window disappeared.
Double-clicked the top part of window, the blue thing in windows XP, to maximize the window.

rickrolling+malicious javascripts are irritatating.
Why have they been Rickrolling things anyway?

Noscript is an extension for Firefox that blocks javascripts that you haven't acknowledged as "safe", therefore preventing this more annoying form of rickrolling.
