    What's your dirty secret?

    I sometimes read the likes of the new statesman online, or even the mirror.

    As a rule I can't stand partisan reporting, but at this time of the year its very hard to find someone who has the courage to tell you what irriting self serving sh!ts they all are, not to mention how they all think of us as bigoted underlings.

    But as I was posting some troll comments (hey I never said I don't wind up the tools who take those sources seriously did I) I stumbled across an obvious injection attack vector.

    Now the question is, do I:

    Do nothing, I could be wrong after all
    Tell them privately
    Tell them publicly
    See how good their backups are

    Oh how I hate decisions, because I've not investigated it could well be a honeypot, and I've been out of the game for so long now.......

    Well from previous experience, A and B will likely need to nothing being done about it, and C will lead to D by someone elses hands.

    So, just go for it and give their backups a free test.

    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    I once stumbled upon a flaw in hexus security (2004?) and dealt with it in the worst way. I was banned for a while... I was 15. What's your excuse?

    Just send them a message, let them know.

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    Re: What's your dirty secret?

    Live up to your motto and troll them. You know the hilarity you could generate for yourself and us
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
