"Harmlessly" pushing an unlocked door open, and walking in and writing on a whiteboard "Gangstaboy was here" is just as much of a crime as unauthorizedly logging into a machine, no matter how "wide open" it is, even if "harm" is not done. I don't do this to point fingers, I speak this on the part of someone whose good friend got nabbed by police for "harmless" activity on the internet -- and as a result spent time in the slammer. take note Dan
