So the corollary of your believing to be easy what is mind-destroyingly difficult is to believe that the bleedin' obvious is intractably tricky? Interesting!

Now that I have a new job where I get to design and program new hardware once more, I thought it would be nice to practice a little. Last night I designed a new graphics card for my old computer. One with its own CPU, plenty of memory and its own little OS to manage graphics resources. The main CPU can then run at full speed and simply uploads graphics resources and commands while the graphics CPU does all the hard work.
Last night I started on the schematic, covered my desk with data sheets, scratched my head, routed about 3/4 of the circuit board - until I noticed that it was time to get ready for work.
This is going to be one long friday...

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Agreed, you even typed the subject wrong, you may as well "throw a sickie" I can't see much productivity at work for you today. 
Have a good weekend!

Thanks. Surprisingly, the opportunistic sleeping habits that you acquire during a few years of military service still seem to work after all those years. Let's see how long it will last.

The old computer is really old. We are talking about tech from the late 1970s. My little graphics card basically is a small single board computer with an IO port to talk with its host, an EPROM, a relatively fat static RAM, the graphics chip and the finest 8 bit CPU ever.
Everything is in CMOS and the clock frequency is low by today's standards, so the circuit board design is not really a challenge.

Definitely.

Nope. Intel always used an awkward CISC architecture, I was more into RISC (but did not know that at that time): RCA CDP1802[^]

Ah yes, I remember. All those attempts to do a simple diagonal line, carefully trying to twist both knobs at the same time and the same speed...
...only to realise one has been turned the wrong way...
It goes without saying

...and the only way to "undo" was to turn it upside down and shake it!

You have to be an artist to begin with, to really go anywhere with this type of toy/contraption/facilitator of madness/... IMHO, that is.

Yesterday, I got a call from someone posing to be a bank call center employee. They told me that I have not taken advantage of my cash back points on the credit card and they are expiring. They would put these points as money on my card which I can spend anywhere. However, to get that money, I need to verify myself. I asked again, which bank they are from, which customer they are talking to and which card are they talking about. Hesitantly, they named a random bank I don't deal with. I put down* the phone.
Told my wife about this and she said I should have trolled them. Now I would like to get a similar call again so I can be a troll!

You got to just confuse them and make them doubt their own grasp of English.
stuff like "Do you have if seven tops over before screen lined the wall over bank?" Then act angry they didn't understand.

I have credit cards from multiple banks, and I think I'm not the only one. That's a rather sad attempt if they didn't anticipate such a question. I mean - I would need to ask this even if I hadn't any suspicion to start with ...

While I realize your post is a programming question and shouldn't be here, I will say, good luck. I worked with Selenium in C# for a bit and found it incredibly obtuse, buggy, and inconsistent. Run away from it. Write your web client so it uses REST calls that you can test against with unit tests, rather than simulating user input.

Apart form this not belonging to the lounge, i take it the .click() method is blocking, otherwise the url check will be over and done with before the source page has changed to the new index page (if the login was successful of course!)
