But when Maemo devices start showing up all over, I hope the 'dangerous' part won't be the danger of losing all your account info to crackers.

And I wonder now, if a woman identifies herself as someone men prefer to have affairs with rather than someone who prefers married men, is she really that dangerous after all?

For operating systems and women, I think I prefer the appearance of danger over actual danger any day.

My OS can wear a leather jacket with the anarchy symbol on it and have piercings all over, just don't let me be a victim of identity theft...
The trick with being dangerous - for women or devices, I think, it to know that and behave accordingly.

I take great care about other people's men, knowing that despite my ordinary appearance, a full blast of my personality can be damaging to existing relationships. I am the woman your Mother warned you about. (Interesting article in the Mail yesterday - yes I know, I was very bored - about the problem with more and more people being emotionally unfaithful and thinking it's ok as long as it's not physical.)

If, like Dr J, you're into fast, powerful cars, I presume you need to have the confidence to handle such a device safely: Personally, I would never drive an alfa - I'm not entirely convinced I could do so safely (and I probably couldn't reach the pedals). For me, driving a fast car might be worderful, but would be very scary. A powerful car in the hands of someone who can't manage it is a lethal weapon

Exactly how Maemo needs to be careful, or handled with care... someone enlighten me?
