So I come home from work today...

...turn on my screens, and move the mouse to wake up my computer.

What do I see? A bunch of flashing IMs on my desktop..

Every one starts with 'me' going: "hi -- wuz up -- youthere"? (3 different IMs)

then i get a horseload of other bullshit, and 'me' talking to -- get this --

3 HIGH RANKING UBUNTU DEVELOPERS. Basically just stupid crap like "do u liek clubspenguiners?"

Immediately I storm into my brother and sisters room, yank the remote out of my brothers hand and scream; "WHO THE F*CK WAS ON MY COMPUTER TODAY?"

Not a response. I ask again; "WHO THE F*CK WAS ON MY COMPUTER?!?!?"

My brother says "I was, why?"

You we're talking to people on my contact list you f*cking c*nt?!?!

Again, no response. I turn around and storm off, being sure to say "f*cking a** hole." on my way out.

Now I need to explain to quite a few people that "oh by the way, I wasnt the one talking before..." yadda yadda.

I'm furious. I don't know what the hell went through their minds when the decided to wake up my computer; and IM everyone on my list.

*sigh*

now before I get off for the night, and put my computer to sleep, I gotta

1.) set a password

2.) Lock my computer

Oh, wait, it gets even better.

I just purchased a Toshiba laptop for a bargain of $150...pretty damn good for 512MB of RAM, Core Solo 1.8GHz, and a 100GB HD...oh and 15.4" Widescreen Glossy.

Guess where I find it? Inside my brothers room. Luckily it has Ubuntu as its first GRUB choice, and being the ingrates they are they didn't know their way around it.

But, I guess it was sort of my fault for not password-protecting my session and Locking it up in the first place.

Now to get back at them tricky delinquents, I am going to block their precious clubgaypenguin on my routers so that when it wont load on ANY of the computers in the house I can just smirk and say "oh...they muse be down..."

Muhahaah.

Here is a reminder for those who don't live on their own (aka live with parents and/or siblings....especially when they are all younger than you, like mine)...PASSWORDS ARE KEY!

You really don't want this to happen to you. Take it seriously. Password protect you computer(s)

how do you block on your router?

#472899

I simply add the URL and IP address in 2 seperate fields in my Routers' Access Restrictions page.

You just need to let it be known in your household that no one ****s with your shit.

I swear if I ever found out someone even breathed on a gadget in my room I'd go ape shit. I have the type if siblings that don't really take care of shit. So being a neat freak it sucks .

#472902

Totally.

my iPods were on the floor, there was an empty bowl of cereal on top of my computer case, caps lock was on, my cable box was set to channel 32...

its like they saw I left and decided to party in my room.

I bought a lock for my room about a week ago, just been too lazy to install it. I guess I'm doing that tonight!

EDIT:

oh, and the little shits turned off my scanner! UGH! I missed 4 F*CKING fires because of their stupid asses.

:mad:

rofl. My little brother is still 4, unless he surprises the hell out of me, such a thing will not happen, which is good

Thats the reason I bought a Kensington lock

Yeah Right!!!

Well in my household we all have computers of our own so nobody ****s with mine!! =P

But yeah I know how you feel. It's so annoying when people screw with your stuff. I'm just glad in my househole people don't just grab my stuff and use it. The closest I get is when my mother reads my texts. Then I go absolutely ape shit at her and warn her that it's illegal (Which I'm not usre if it is, but I believe it is illegal to read somebody else's mail so an SMS should be no different.) I could probably get away with keeping unhidden pr0n on my phone/ipod... but I'm not that desperate so I don't... lol.

sucks that that happens... how old is your brother? Mine is older so I dont have to worry about annoying younger brothers (He has to though!!)

Hey waddayaknow, this is my 800th post... w00t!!

I'm the oldest, he's only 12 >_>'

#473572

Well... no bros or sisters for me... however the kids are always helping themselves to my mac when they can...

Using Utility lock and sometimes I unplug the keyboard... that foxes them!

#473578

i've tried unplugging the mouse, now everybody who lives here is capable of using windows via the keyboard...nobody ever tried replugging in the mouse (or putting new batteries in my wireless one)..

more like (damn stupid) laziness actually. Its the case of "i can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes configuring something so i save a 1000 times more then i put in"

for example those who would rather type in google.com at the top EVERY TIME and search through live search for google rather than set the search box to google...

Hello there !
