Dencandy Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Most of you seem to think what Roman is doing is OK, so it must be me being over-cautious. Still, I wouldn't do it myself, unless I was experimenting with an old computer. Let us know how it goes, Roman, especially if anything goes seriously wrong.

Dencandy Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 One additional thought on this issue (at the risk of making myself a bore). Do you have secure or irreplaceable data on your computer that's not backed up after every session? If no, and your computer is stolen, it's all gone and instantly accessible to whoever switches it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a thing called a FINGER, which when pressed against the start button is usually VERY effective at starting the computer up in well under two minutes. :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Do you have secure or irreplaceable data on your computer that's not backed up after every session?Yes of course I have secure date on my computer but I also have all the important files discs. But who is interested of stealing a computer from a usual person like me? Guess nobody. Maybe I would look at all these things from another way, if I were the president or another important person^^I wouldn't do it either. I don't see the point in risking messing up. I have a thing called a FINGER, which when pressed against the start button is usually VERY effective at starting the computer up in well under two minutes.Yeah, the finger is also a very good tool to turn the computer on. As long as its not broken^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Thousands of people leave their computers on twenty four hours a day with no problems as long as you have a good security on your pc you are at no more risk than if your pc is on for the day. All Roman wants to do is have is computer switch itself on when he is not there, so surly only programs that he allows can access it, or if they can it wouldn't make any difference if he was there as it would mean that his security had been compromised and they would still get in.
