Sneaky Trick

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Suppose you want to walk away from your hyper-secure work computer for a few minutes and not have to re-log in when you get back. Sure, you could change the sleep settings, but this idea is much more clever: Set your mouse on top of your analog watch or a clock. The mouse tracks the second hand's movement and it tricks your computer into thinking you're still busy working. Of course, there are valid security reasons for NOT using this trick, but I still think it's cool that it works.

1. My group noticed something like this one day,,,,

THAT person wound up sending an email to the entire branch stating they left their computer without locking it.

Hilarity ensued!!!
