Regret

Yea, I know I'm gonna get bad kudos out the **** for this post, but here goes anyway.

Have you ever done anything (computer-related) you regret?

I know I have. There's this site called (site removed). Problem is, most people there use IE. Now, one day, I figured I would play a harmless practical joke on them and have a post redirect to (site removed). Of course, I was a Firefox user (Safari now) at the time and so I completely forgot that IE users are susceptible to drive-by viruses, and (forgetting, as I am not) there was a drive-by virus on that site.

And so, one guy got said drive by virus, and another had the virus blocked due to his AV.

And this I REALLY regret.

Moral: Don't give IE users web links (or something similar to that)

Holy **** I remember almost doing that ****. I remember when AIM was really loose in terms of security and you could just search for buddies based on interest. You would just search for someone "Looking for romance" and BAM.

God those were awkward days.

My friend came round my house once when we were about 11, for a sleepover, and we played on Habbo Hotel for hours and we started talking to some randomer and they were asking for cyber sex we were like, er yea sure.... errr.....wtf it was sooo funny

Ahem anyways I don't think I regret anything computer related. I deleted all my old music from a few years ago once cos my taste changed, and now I wish I still had it so I could go back and laugh at myself, if that counts

If they were right, I'd agree, but its them they know, not me.
