I knew you could... assuming > people have write permissions and execute permissions... ^^^^^^^^ When discussing an environment one has no knowledge of whatsoever, it's not a good idea to assume a lot. For the record, it may very well be impossible to create an environment that is 100% anonymous, and yet not so crippled as to be useless; however, it may not be. I find it interesting that all the responses I've seen to this thread so far seem to assume that the environment will allow compiling and executing arbitrary code. Why would anybody assume that?
