although not curious enough to try this *smirks*

I was bored enough to look at Spam in my Spambox, and saw an alert that Brooke's webcam is on. Well that's nice. But it said at the bottom "if Gay - Hit (ctrl)-(alt-(F4) to opt out."

Now what would THAT little piece of nonsense do?
Anyone come across that before? Would it actually do anything? What does F4 do?
Does anyone really think hitting Ctrl Alt F4 REALLY get them off a Spamailing list?

Anyway, the butthead I'm working with today JUST got back after 2 hours. I'm trying to decide if it's worth me taking an hour to go get money & lunch or just to wait and get them after work, and scoot out an hour earlier?

it really depends on what program you are in as to what that will do. If anything at all.

Alt-F4 usually closes a program window
Ctrl-F4 can do the same, but usually does nothing
ctrl-alt-f4 in AIM does nothing. so I am guessing in general it does nothing.

There is no way for them to link that to unsubscribing, maybe they are trying to trick people into closing the window so they think they are unsubscribing. That's quite an amusing bluff if you ask me.
