Hi all, i have been a member of a few IT and hacking forums but they always get full of arrogant little kids who seem to have nothing better to do than to wind me up. Then I found this place, by no means am I a physicist (got A* in science GCSE then joined the army...) however I am hoping to learn from you guys and in a couple years go back to school.

EDIT: I read above and wanted to point out the part about the previous IT forums is inconsequential - I am willing to listen to any person's expertise regardless of the field
