    The trouble I could cause

    I'm at the dealer and I forgot the power cord for my laptop so am using the PC in the waiting room. Somebody checked the 'remember me' option when they logged into Hotmail.

        quick :
        1. change the password (gives you more time to mess around, till the owner gets it reset)
        2. go thru the inbox/sent folders to find cc #, or better, passwords sent or received. bonus if you find passwords to ...ahem... 'special' sites
        3. send emails to your boss (or others you would like to, er, 'compliment'), with the equivalent of 'i know what you did last summer'
        4. send a note to LOYL with a real nice compliment as a silent admirer, and maybe (this is for those with a real strong relationship) a large 'sigh' : "... wish you were unattached...".
        might make her day...

        obviously, all those emails should be able to identify the receiver clearly!

        Oh - I thought your title was really a question...

          you guys are sooo bad. I would uncheck the option and log him off so his account would be safe. Right after sending a message from himself to himself, saying "you stupid SOB, you are so lucky I'm this nice."

              We have a saying here in Texas "that you just ain't right".

              ps when my officers used to forget to log out, I used to send their Sergeant exactly what you suggested. They actually log out now. go figure.

              Okay I ain't right either!!!!!

                I was at an event sponsored by Microsoft once and one guy that worked for MS commented that if they walked away from their PC without locking it, their co-workers were encouraged to do all sorts of nasty things, and the logged in person would be 100% responsible. I don't know if it's true, but I would support that policy.

                I do know at my job I am responsible for anything happening under my logon, so you better believe I lock it EVERY time I walk away.

                  Nice move. It's a pretty powerful and rewarding feeling knowing that you could do something self serving but chose to help someone out. I remember one Christmas opening a card I got in the mail that had $400 in cash! I checked the address on the front of the envelope again and saw that the house number was right but it was supposed to be for the next street over. There were a few brief moments where I thought about how much I could use the money. Then the picture of some parent, maybe estranged from their little girl, sending a year's worth of hard earned money for all her toys, and it never getting there entered my mind. Then, a picture entered my mind of how this must be drug money since it's cash, and I should keep it and help society out, and who sends cash in the mail anyway, and... Anyway, after thinking it over for 13 more days (okay, 10 minutes), I took it over to the house, dropped it off and felt real good for a long time afterwards.
