Heh. So the other methods will get you out of the blackmailware tab, but you'll lose your message - but at least hopefully without having to do a full reboot.<br /><br />Anyway, just tryin' to help - I totally detest those blackmailware things!Jonny Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516458612879773986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-6597264521271314082017-04-12T06:54:06.334-05:002017-04-12T06:54:06.334-05:00Also, regardless of what browser you're using,...Also, regardless of what browser you're using, if rebooting only means that you're gonna run the browser again after the reboot with no tabs open, basically starting fresh, then using Task Manager to 'End Task' on your browser will accomplish that without a reboot. If the blackmailware tab has mostly taken over the keyboard, then hit Alt-Control-Delete, and the option to run Task Manager should be there. If the tab hasn't taken over the keyboard then you can just run Task Manager normally and kill the browser. That's more certain than the Control-F4 method, but the Control-F4 method keeps your other tabs open and just closes the blackmailware tab, so while less certain, it's handier when it works.Jonny Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516458612879773986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-35621712692857647282017-04-12T06:40:26.819-05:002017-04-12T06:40:26.819-05:00Depending on your browser, there's another way...Depending on your browser, there's another way to eradicate the blackmailware tab too. I know this works with Firefox. When the blackmailware tab opens and starts yelling crap, you can open Task Manager, select Firefox and click 'End Task'. Then rerun Firefox, click the 'Restore Session' button, deselect the tab with the blackmailware in it, and then it'll load all the other tabs you had open EXCEPT the bad one.<br /><br />So, there's some things to try if you'd rather avoid a reboot. The second method will work only with browsers that let you restore session when the browser crashes and which also allow you to individually select the tabs to load after restoring from a crashed browser session. Firefox definitely allows that. Other browsers, I dunno.Jonny Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516458612879773986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-47533399235983201952017-04-12T06:33:31.719-05:002017-04-12T06:33:31.719-05:00News Links, April 12, 2017

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre has found that 93% of assessed fish stocks are overexploited, and some are almost completely gone.

Not to mention that it is an economically important fishery.<br /><br />However, the sea is now in grave danger.
