Man, what kind of neighbors do you have? :-) Do you also have to keep an eye on the silverware while their over playing music on your stereo? It's never a good thing to reuse passwords. On a web site that I maintain, the old programmer kept user passwords in plaintext in the database. Many of the people on the site have Hotmail or Yahoo email accounts. Sure enough, when I went to either site and logged in using the email and password from the database I logged right in to about 1/2 of those accounts. Very scary. -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
