Weird. I just clicked on this thread and a dialogue box popped up asking me for a password for something called "netfiles.uiuc.edu." I clicked cancel and it disappeared. Anyone else get this?

― jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 21 August 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 21 August 2004 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

It's one of the image links.

― bnw (bnw), Saturday, 21 August 2004 19:39 (twenty-one years ago)

rjg looks like the violin player from Yellowcard.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 21 August 2004 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I never got asked for a password. I'm using netscape, when people do a .txt to get round geocities, it actually comes out as a text file.

Describing the person's appearance?

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 21 August 2004 20:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I am always interested, to hear about handsome people, around the globe.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 21 August 2004 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

So it was this thread with the password. I went to the New Answers page, opened up half a dozen tabs in Firefox, and went off to check the mail while they were all loading. When I came back, that box was here and I didn't know where the hell it had come from.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i get a password on this thread. WHY?

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still waiting, for an answer.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:14 (twenty-one years ago)

It looks like it's because it's an auto request from the site Jon's second picture is trying to leech from.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I knew it! And he's why I can't post pictures anymore. I want to whup his ass!!!

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

pictures can still be posted.

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

not when I try to! It's like ilx has developed some perverse form of favouritism.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

don't use img src, put an i before the url.

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, I do that and I get a link to the site where the image is hosted, preceded by an 'i'. Apparently this happens when the image is over a certain size. I's kinda prejudiced against ppl who can't afford to have Photoshop for home use (it's an expensive app, not only in terms of cost but also hard disk space) to crop the pics to some unspecified smaller size. Gah!!

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I dunno, take it up with the mods, then. I got photoshop for free.

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

that looks nothing like me.

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

markh, you can resize photos in your ms paint, if you have windows (I know--it takes up a lot of disc space, too).

maybe you should buy a computer, for a change.

; )

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 21 August 2004 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Quick! I need a sledgehammer to crack this nut.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 21 August 2004 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(download freeware Irfanview if you want slightly better crackers than MS Paint)

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 21 August 2004 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah I use irfanview too, it's fine.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 22 August 2004 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It was one of Jon's old images. I guess they secured it. I just removed it and the password is gone. (I hope)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 22 August 2004 00:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the idea of Jon's images being secured by the authorities.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 22 August 2004 01:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I just removed it and the password is gone

Dude, I'm telling you that the password is smooth, dude!

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Sunday, 22 August 2004 02:41 (twenty-one years ago)

not PF, btw.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 22 August 2004 02:56 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, wrong thread but it isn't.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 22 August 2004 02:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Does anybody else see the similarity here?

Sorry Ned...

― Andrew (enneff), Sunday, 22 August 2004 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Both using a piece of wood as a means of support?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Sunday, 22 August 2004 04:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I look a lot like one of the dudes from Q and Not U. Said dude also is a former DJ at my college radio station and we know folks in common.

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Sunday, 22 August 2004 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Kids called me Billy Corgan in high school. Consequently, I did a lot of beating people up back then.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 22 August 2004 05:46 (twenty-one years ago)

who do you look like, now?

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 22 August 2004 05:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know, but I hope to God it's not Billy Corgan.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 22 August 2004 05:47 (twenty-one years ago)

he is funny looking.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 22 August 2004 05:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess we both have really big foreheads.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 22 August 2004 05:54 (twenty-one years ago)

you look like aggi from the pastels.

― youn, Sunday, 22 August 2004 07:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Weirdest compliment I ever got, from a girl in a coffee shop in New Braunfels, TX: "You look like Johnny Depp!" I look so little like Johnny Depp, I could only conclude that a) she was hitting on me, and b) she was an idiot. Not a pleasant combination.

― Harold Media (kenan), Sunday, 22 August 2004 07:46 (twenty-one years ago)

But maybe you DID look like Johnny Depp and you were just in denial about it... ? ;) (No really, though -- New Braunfels? Dude.)

Andrew, thanks for providing the ILX massive with Yet Another Neddish Photoshopping Opportunity. *applause*

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 22 August 2004 07:51 (twenty-one years ago)

(No really, though -- New Braunfels? Dude.)

Hey... it's not that bad. I lived there for three months one summer, and tubed down the Comal river twice a week, and watched wet girls walk by all day. I complained about the place at the time, but in retrospect...

― Harold Media (kenan), Sunday, 22 August 2004 07:55 (twenty-one years ago)

That's not a fair comparison between Ned and Hasselhof. We need to see a pic of Ned in a posing pouch to be able to tell.

(Sorry everyone!)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 22 August 2004 08:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Martin you are a bad man.

There's an Eastern European courier who turns up at our office every so often who is a dead ringer for Tracer Hand. Sadly he speaks very little English so I've never asked him whether he has a long lost American twin.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 22 August 2004 08:37 (twenty-one years ago)

There are a couple of guys who used to do the pub quiz together in our local who were dead ringers for Martin and Jel (based on the photos I have seen of Martin and Jel, that is).

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 22 August 2004 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

one of my friend's friends looks a lot like tracer hand.

― m. (mitchlnw), Sunday, 22 August 2004 10:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm, I just sent something in the mail to New Braunfels, TX.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 22 August 2004 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

The odds that it will be opened by a wet teenager who's just come from the water park are relatively high.

― Harold Media (kenan), Sunday, 22 August 2004 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i've been accused of looking like the singer from jimmy eat world.

eh, anyway, not much of aresmblance, i don't know where that came from

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Sunday, 22 August 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I hear that Wooden looks exactly like Johnny Depp, ladies.

Calum really looked like somebody famous, must have a look at his pic on wiki again.

I can't figure out who you think that looks like!

― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:55 (fourteen years ago)

yeah, same with the one before

― Mad God 40/40 (Z S), Monday, 7 May 2012 15:58 (fourteen years ago)

xp - ENBB - louis?

― sarahell, Monday, 7 May 2012 16:07 (fourteen years ago)

thought of pplains tbh

― underleg aeroboots i have smithed (darraghmac), Monday, 7 May 2012 16:09 (fourteen years ago)

These are some handsome men, y'all, but I haven't had a beard in like five years.

― pplains, Monday, 7 May 2012 18:02 (fourteen years ago)

huh

I guess I can sorta see louis now that you say it but it wouldn't have occurred to me. Same for the supposed PP doppelganger though I can also kind of see why there too now.

― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 7 May 2012 18:05 (fourteen years ago)

cutty

― markers, Monday, 7 May 2012 18:06 (fourteen years ago)

I posted this on some other thread, but my kid's been watching this show and the "Max Ross" character really looks like LJ to me.
