VW, is it possible that you logged in at a public terminal and it stayed logged in for the next person?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I blame Toto.

But really, if you changed your password you should be safe.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, I have a basic question. If I get a bluetooth cell phone. How do I connect it to my PC? Like what do I need? I'm leaning toward a Nokia or Motorola phone right now and I think with Motorolas you need an adapter and Motorola Phone Tools. Is that right?

I have a Dell Latitude D600. This is most likely the computer I'll be using.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Next, where is the best place to buy tools and adapter?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not for Bluetooth connections, no. Basically Windows and the phone OS will allow you to set the phone discoverable, have Windows search for Bluetooth devices, and then you create a PIN you type into both devices and then they're linked.

But only if they love each other very much.

ita,

okay...I'm not sure I understand everything you said. So I DON'T need a bluetooth adapter because if I have the cable, the computer should recognize the phone? What if I want to tether the phone, do I need Phone Tools and an adapter?

tommy,

funny shit.

What does "tether" mean?

I zoomed in on your description of the phone as Bluetooth. If you want a Bluetooth connection, then you obviously need the adapter for the phone. I'm not sure exactly what capability you get with the Tools, but if you don't have them, there's nothing you can do with a Razr when it's connected via a USB cable.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

okay, so I *do* need the tools and an adapter.
