Sunhawk 07/13/17 3:06:05 PM #1:	Someone you know reasonably well comes around your house. They ask to use your computer / laptop / tablet computer for half an hour, and you say yes. When they leave, you discover they've installed several new programs on your device, without your knowledge (at the time, obviously) and consent. Is this okay? This kind of thing makes me angry, but some seem to find it fine. What do you think, CE? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

Sunhawk 07/13/17 3:08:17 PM #11:	Wow. I assumed people would mostly be okay with this. I know someone who comes around sometimes, and installs whatever she wants on my computer, and thinks it's fine.
