A script on the website would also try to use the <code>mailto</code> and <code>callto</code> functions with the intent to cause the viewer's computer to freeze. | ||

A few variants of Last Measure use a script called <code>StatsMeasure</code> which leaks the visitor's clipboard data online. Later variants of Last Measure used a Java applet called <code>CoffeeMeasure</code> 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]]. | A few variants of Last Measure use a script called <code>StatsMeasure</code> which leaks the visitor's clipboard data online.

People who visit the 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, when accessed through Safari, the browser may become overwhelmed by a forkbomb, which involves opening mIRC and the default email client in a loop which causes the computer to slow down or even crash. | People who visit the Last Measure website containing the script often think their computer is infected with a virus.

'''Safe Measure''' was a parody and variant of Last Measure made by [[wikipedia:Sam_Hocevar|Sam Hocevar]]. It reuses the same scripts taken from the original last measure, but replaced with safe-for-work images of stuffed animals, accompanied by the voice clip "Hey, with American online, I can just point, and click". The full directory can be found [http://people.zoy.org/~sam/softmeasure/ here]. However, this was also eventually defunct. | |||
