Comment Re:NT boot screen on hotel video system (Score 1) 307
Hi there, there are a few systems based on NT other based on Linux and other based on pure assembly and deticated H/W.
You had an expirence with an NT based box that for some reason did not implement any security (even a basic one). This ofcource is not acceptable at all.
So I disagree with anyone that says "you have to be locked in..." In my opinion it would be OK if you just notify the hotel about the issue so that they would take further actions (implement at least a basic security).
As about passwords: ppl, everyone knows that an easy to remember pass is a company's or a product's name, so spare me. I know it is wrong but this kind of pass had been used for a quite long time. Not to mention that the techies that do the installations are not computer freaks (at least the ppl I know of ;) so... They trying to make their life easyer (and hackers/crackers or just curious ppl happy :).
Cheers
