--in the physical world, if a door is left unlocked, even ajar a couple
inches, the physical act of pushing the door open so that one can enter
the door is defined as "breaking and entering".
"Harmlessly" pushing an unlocked door open, and walking in and writing on
a whiteboard "Gangstaboy was here" is just as much of a crime as
unauthorizedly logging into a machine, no matter how "wide open" it is,
even if "harm" is not done.
I don't do this to point fingers, I speak this on the part of someone
whose good friend got nabbed by police for "harmless" activity on the
internet -- and as a result spent time in the slammer.
