Aaww, I expected Alice to use Mordac as "perpetually moving head-bobbing bird".

Jt, there are "rules" when your working on "classified" material as to how long your PC screen should remain on when you're not there using it. You may think that it's not much of a safety issue, and it may not be, but it's a pain in-the-neck when you are using the PC, and the screen keeps shutting off on you because the limit is set to something like five seconds. *shrug* Getting your screen back involves retyping your username and your password. *shrug*

there are laws dictating how long computers can be inactive for?

Thiss reminds me of my old job. We used to be able to watch our break clocks from across the floor (which we were expected to use on breaks), but due to new laws, computers are required to lock after 5 minutes idle. This made it impossible to know how much time you had left without returning to your computer. Further, on a slow day with hardly any calls, we literally had to punch keys every few minutes just to make sure the computers didn't lock up while we were there. Even more annoying, the system we have to use times out after a longer period of idle time (i.e. more than 5 minutes, makes you wonder why systems had to lock up then). So I can relate to this one.

Simpson's? Nope! This was an issue at the office. Due to the nature of the work we did and the fact that we did it WAY off site, meant we had SHORT periods until the computers would throw up their password protections. To someone somewhere, this was an acceptable level of security.
