Yes, exactly. Even if you are not a criminal, this will unlock your phone allowing police access to everything. The police may see things that appear illegal starting a chain of events where you need to prove your innocence. And already police have stolen nudes from women when handed unlocked phones, so this is not theoretical.

Comment Be honest with children. (Score 1) 242

I don't understand the idea about lying to children about Santa. So as soon as "he" came up we told our two boys that modern Santa was made up and mum and dad buy your presents. So be good!

However, I did explain the origin of the Saint Nicholas story and the idea of giving as important.

So BONK is like a hot potato, you want to pass it off as soon as you get your hands on it so you don't get burned. Someone is going to end up with a cold worthless potato, better make sure that is not you.

People didn’t listen to your warnings. The Saga phones are now sold out.

Christine Lagarde has been found guilty of negligence in approving a massive payout of taxpayers' money to controversial French businessman Bernard Tapie but avoided a jail sentence.
A French court convicted the head of the International Monetary Fund and former government minister, who had faced a €15,000 ($12,600) fine and up to a year in prison. But it decided she should not be punished and that the conviction would not constitute a criminal record. ...
Lagarde was the finance minister under Nicolas Sarkozy between 2007 and 2011, when she became head of the IMF - replacing her disgraced compatriot Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who had been put on trial for attacking a New York hotel maid. She referred the case to a private arbitration panel, which awarded Tapie more than 400m. She was accused of "negligence with public money" for having paid up and not contested the award, which experts had advised against.
