superf4 - Project Hosting on Google Code

SuperF4 kills the foreground program when you press Ctrl+Alt+F4. This is different from when you press Alt+F4. Alt+F4 only asks the foreground program to exit, allowing it to decide for itself what to do.

You can also kill a process by pressing [the windows key]+F4 and then clicking the window with your mouse. Note that the mouse cursor does not change to reflect that SuperF4 is in this mode. You can press escape or the right mouse button to exit this mode without killing a program.

SuperF4 should be able to kill all kinds of processes, whether they are hung or not. Beware though, SuperF4 effectively kills the program and doesn’t give it a chance to save unsaved work etc…

This is a great piece of software to have on your PC. I get very frustrated when my system hangs and the task manager isn’t helpful. I’m too quick to force a reboot (bad!) - so maybe this can get my compulsion under control.

This suit is interesting and exciting - although I’m sorry that this woman’s life is going to have to be turned upside down in order to see this through.

Horizon Group Management sued Amanda Bonnen Monday for publishing a false and defamatory tweet on Twitter May 12.

Just to give you some perspective: This company is suing her for $50,000 for a tweet. Want to know what this company did in order to bring suit? Someone in their office made a phone call, dispatched their lawyers, and then went on about his day. The laywers will call with updates.

Meanwhile, this single woman who was served papers, now has to take time off work, scramble to find money and a decent attorney. She will have to appear in court, further disrupting her life, while those suing her will most likely remain at work and with their families day in and day out, while their laywers, also going about their daily lives, will appear for them.

These lawsuits take a serious toll on the individuals.

This lawsuit is absurd. I hope they appear before a judge that is knowledgable about the internet, the WWW, and the online social media world. I hope it’s a judge that understands you cannot legislate away modern technology - that the law must evolve as society and technology evolve.

To prevent this attack from disrupting service for the impacted AT&T customer, and to prevent the attack from spreading to impact our other customers, AT&T temporarily blocked access to the IP addresses in question for our customers.

Muck Rack, a site primarily known for aggregating tweets from journalists in real-time, has just pressed go on a new type of press release — the one line Twitter-style release.

So these idiots at EA - Dante’s Inferno came up with this idea as a promotion for Comicon.

And this promotion resulted in all kinds of uproar on the internets. People were offended and angry. citing both the objectification of the women and the design of a program seemingly designed to encourage sexual harassment.

They’ve since apologized for their misjudgment.

According to the Los Angeles Metblogs, AT&T DSL users are unable to access anything on the img.4chan.org subdomain if they live in Southern California.

The LA Metblogs has compiled several sources that apparently confirm AT&T has blocked img.4chan at the ISP level, including reports from multiple Twitter users who cannot access 4chan. We’ve also seen reports on Reddit.

It is every traveler’s worst nightmare to run into accidents, construction, congestion, or an overall slowing down of traffic. This is most likely why Google Driving Directions has provided an extremely useful overlay of your map that describes current driving conditions, with a full blown legend that houses live traffic updates along roads.
