Geeez, some people:

Story - Embarrassing, private text files find their way onto the Net

Jan. 14 ? There it was, just sitting out there on the Internet, for all to see. ?The keys to the condo are located in a lock box mounted on the wall outside the entry door. The combination is 0-8-3-6.? The recipient of the instructions, Catalina, is only weeks away from a long-awaited vacation at a ski resort, but she had no idea that her computer was telling the world where she was going, when she would be there, and how to break into her rental condo until MSNBC.com contacted her.

WHEN YOU LEAVE for vacation, you certainly don?t want the world to know when and where you are going. But that?s one of the unintended consequences of file-sharing programs with names like Gnotella and BearShare.

:confused:

Stupid people do stupid things.

I can only laugh about people who share all of their drives completely =)

<< Initially, she had no idea how it happened, but after a few questions remembered that her 10-year-old son uses a music-swapping program named ?BearShare.? >>



In this case it seems like it was a fault of a kid who just didn't know...




<< But children don?t account for files from a district attorney?s office making their way onto the Net >>



True... those people are the damn morons.

LOL! Hahaha heehee..

Personally, I would never let a 10year-old anywhere near any of my PCs.. (If it were my 10year-old, he or she would have their own.)
