Hmm, I don't see a link to a "Phrase Center"

Where is this located?

Below the quick reply text area.

But unless it's changed, only senior coders and above can access it.

Developing just a tiny bit of a hacker subculture here, eh? Very promising. : )

I was wonder about that keyboard1333,I don't see it so it must still be "only senior coders and above can access it."

What hacking subculture? If you're talking about the phrase center thing, I'd hardly call that hacking...

[traq]

You're exploiting a vulnerability. Not a critical one, not very fancy hack, but it counts. It's A Good Thing. : )

It's A Good Thing. : )

Hmmm... not something you hear every day (hacking is a good thing).
And in my opinion, exploiting such a basic security is hardly hacking.
It's like if you go on your friends computer while their out of the room and they've left their facebook open, then writing HACKED on their wall....
I believe the term is hacksaw438'ted

Hmm . . . traq rhymes with hack - a coincidence? I think not!

I dunno, hacking is such a broad term, sort of like magic. There's white magic, black magic, and a gray area in between. The skills involved in hacking are similar to those used for coding in general, especially those used to get existing code to perform a little differently, to tweak it to a slightly different, presumably more desirable state.

It certainly can be fun, even in fun. Just be careful, some folks don't take kindly to jokes, and depending upon who those folks are, you could get into trouble regardless of whether or not your actions truly merit it or not.

I once saw something on the TV show CSI - the original Las Vegas version. They were using a web based service to get detailed satellite maps. I saw the address of the website. It was real. However, the service was for government and business use only. I played around with it a bit until I got a pulsing popup message:

"We take having fun seriously."

Which was completely out of context for what you might usually think. I got the message though and have never been back.
