[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1000804, member: 59143"] Hey, that's really nice and all, and I really appreciate the poor rep mark as well, especially considering that all I said was geared towards helping the OP achieve [b]WHAT HE ASKED[/B]. I never stated that he shouldn't take other measures, because perhaps he's already aware of those things. My attitude in all of this is actually very neutral, and only meant to serve one purpose: to answer the OP's question. I didn't want to presume that he/she didn't already know about the password protected screen lock or similar features. I didn't even bother to ponder whether or not the OP would find it irritating to have to lock and unlock the screen every time they went to the bathroom, and neither did you apparently. The question was specific and I answered it as such. And I'm not entirely sure that you should be speaking for someone else in terms of whether or not they'll do a good or bad job when it comes to 'rigging' their own security. In this case, it's not even rigging. You make it sound like there are hoops to jump through, where in fact it's a simple command line entry to get you from point A-B, and then up to you if it will suit your purposes. You're mistaking different security measures for bad ones. Hardly the same. And yeah.. I actually DO understand the features you're speaking of. But it's hardly the point of what the OP was asking. The only dangerous attitude is that of one who thinks there's only one way to skin a cat. Lastly, I never advised anyone to NOT use anything. Please don't create scenarios which aren't true. This is exactly why I feel the rep system can be abusive at times. People make things up which aren't true, and you get rep'd for it. But it's all good, see my Sig. :Evil: Respectfully, Doug [/QUOTE]
