    Default Logging Off

    When you're finished visiting the forum for the day, do you usually log off? I never do, and as a result I'm logged in virtually all the time, unless I clear my cookies and history. Do you think it's bad to stay logged in all the time, as it's misleading as to whether or not you're active? Discuss.

    I usually stay logged in. It's usually because I start shutting down my computer by instinct and I end up forgetting that I'm still logged in. If I stop to think about it, I'll log off, but usually no.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I don't think I've ever manually logged myself out...

    Nobody else uses my computer so I don't need to log out, unless I want to dabble in the pleasures of trying to remember my password when trying to log back in again.

    I never log out.

    Logging out would mean that I'd have to log back in, and I'm far too lazy to do that.

    What's the point?

    No one else uses this computer, and even if they did, they'd be silly and use netscape, because it's the only thing linked on the desktop that's a webbrowser, or they'd go hunt down IE. Little do they suspect that by pressing the 'Connect' button they could inherit all my power!

    Like I said, no one else uses this unless I know about it. Not much point in logging out anywhere.

    If you mean sign out, then no, I never do that.
