    There's nothing dirty about taking advantage of the webserver admins failing to sanitize the CGI data ;)

    You guys know you're just injecting HTML using the URL right? There's no real hacking occurring. Messing with their database would be a lot harder to do.

    We know Calvin, it's just a bit of fooling around like some 12 year olds with a Danasoft widget claiming to be Sup3ri0r H4ck0rz.

    And now don't tell me your youngest kid brother, who is of course compiling his own Arch based distro, has been insulted. :D

    I remember manually adding ads to the filter list and then searching for good dynamic filters for the original Adblock back in the day...it's so easy now, seeing as it's auto-updated ;)

    The same for Linux, you used to have the hardest time trying to do everything on your own, now a lot of things are much easier and it's actually usable for non-uber tech geeks. :D
