This is a question Faking it

Rakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."

So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

I'm prepared
to believe that you probably could as you're a bit handy with the old computers.

But I would hope that you couldn't.

Do your worst.
I have a friend in New Zealand. I'll tell her to nip over to Australia and wallop you.

Nip Over?
It's 1400 miles from New Zealand to Oz. Hope they're swimming.

Well then
You could do it. Not sure what the "err" was in aid of. I don't know what you do for a living, after all.

The finest, cleanest developwers tool.

Can I request
that you don't do it.

Although, do all of these security precautions that Firefox claims to have mean it would tell me if you did? Or is it all just rubbish?

Such a programme could be written
And would make its author automatically a bit of a prick.

Fortunately I haven't got a photo of me on my Facebook account so you'd end up with a picture of Davros. The actual Davros, not B3ta's Davros.

^ Oi

Please do
I think this should of been done first, Imagine all those near pant shitters, from just seeing the facebook thing.

Add their b3ta name too, I think you would of created much more brown pant puddles...

*ahem* *Stands up*
Theoretically it's possible, if you could exploit badly behaved browsers, also if the cookie timeout period didn't apply and maaaaaybeeee if the cookie in question actually stored your personal info, as opposed to just a standard session ID. (Do i hear facebook hijacking?).

It's possible, but it's a long shot.

*ends the geekery*

@legless
I see your point now, that's crazy.
Nasty business.

Why has no-one done it yet though... strange

Ah
I'm seriously intrigued now!

Hmmm
I missed the original message but it reads like this might be some cross-browser scripting exploit type thing. A lot of that has been locked down so it may not work. Though without knowing the details, it's hard to tell.

Anyone care to Gaz me the original plan?
