hmm as the saying goes there's a sucker born every 5 seconds, so i'm betting that this company is relying on them purchasing this piece of useless merchandise..

but still you never know it could serve a purpose for something, like a fireplace ornament or something..

Hmmmm, $19.95 for an I/O switch? oh! great.

Why not just click on the internet connection in the system tray and click on "disconnect"..............then go and spend the $19.95 on beer?

:drink:

HAHAHAHAHA....hahahaha, oh god....


I'm trying to think of how many of these would sell at a country club.
What brilliant mind decided "Man, what we need to do is get ourselves a stop sign...".
Either that or it's a marketing prank to test the stupidity of consumers?


I just think it would be pretty neat to hang up on my wall and make into a CAT5 holder. :p

Oddly enough ...

We just upgraded our phone service to Comcast. The new cable-modem has a little button on the front. This disables the network connections through the cable modem. Don't know why it's there, but it is. If wife gets too crazy on the net, I can just turn it off, I guess.

That really shouldn't be a problem, now. The long distance is now basically free, so she'll be spending more time on the phone.

Will The Hack Stop prevent my computer from getting spyware or viruses?

The Hack Stop is not an anti-virus protection. We recommend that you install a firewall and anti-virus software in addition to using The Hack Stop.

LMAO. Whats the use of the Hack Stop when they advice the above. They could just make a website with "INSTALL A FIREWALL AND UP-TO-DATE ANTIVIRUS" and charge $19.95 for everyone viewing that message.

Cheers

Hey,

Rapier57 - The modem that i got from my cable company has a standby switch to (Telewest, England), as does my Fathers (NTL, England), and i always hit standby when i'm not using it - but more really cause the flashing lights distract me from the TV ;)

Matts Hack Stop Instructions:
1. Find your index finger (either hand will do)
2. Press the off button on your PC

What do you reckon guys I could sell it on ebay as a document titled "Never worry about leaving your computer again!"

lmao this is worse than the bush phone tapping thread.

As far as I know most modems (I know my Motorola does) have a standby/disconnect switch but when most users are cluless and don't bother to read the manual maybe they deserve to be parted from their 19.95.
