Last Measure: Difference between revisions

The original website displayed the [[Goatse]] image as its background, and then opened several browser windows displaying different shock images, including [[Tubgirl]], [[Lemon Party]], [[Pillowfight]], etc, along with an extremely loud looped audio of a man screaming "''HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!''" to alert people near you. A script on the website would also try to use the "mailto" and "callto" functions with the intent to cause the viewer's computer to freeze.

Last Measure uses JavaScript functions such as the 'onmouseover' and 'onclick' functions to ignore pop-up blockers and spawn windows containing shock images to move and bounce around the viewer's screen.  

A few versions use a script called 'StatsMeasure', which leaks the visitor's clipboard data online. Later versions of Last Measure used a Java applet called 'CoffeeMeasure' which spawns several Java application windows that move around the screen. The Unified X version of Last Measure contains a montage of shock images, including images from [[The Pain Series]] and other images from various shock sites. Additionally, an external link to a mirror was added to the [[Offended]] page on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]].

People who visit a Last Measure website containing the script often think their computer is infected with a virus. Many internet browsers today may not execute all of the scripts or may prompt a warning before some of the script portions are executed. However, it may still cause temporary ruination. For example, on Safari, it can still turn the browser into a forkbomb by opening mIRC and the default email client in a loop which causes the computer to slow down or even crash.  

There is a version of Last Measure that also uses code from the infamous JavaScript Trojan "Offiz," famously known as "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSgk7ctw1HY You are an idiot]" which presents the well-known Flash application called "rgb.swf," an 8-bit version of [[wikipedia:Axel Foley|Axel Foley]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Beverly Hills Cop (film series)|Beverly Hills Cop]]'' with bright flashing RGB colors in an attempt to trigger an epileptic seizure.

The GNAA announced a new version of Last Measure called RubyMeasure, which was to be completely written in the programming language [[wikipedia:Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], and would have been launched in May 2013. However, this plan was eventually cancelled.
