What's your point, though? If opening an unlocked door is B&E, what does the lockpicking analogy teach us?

[possibility]

Oh, I was literally just arguing the other side about going through an open window because I didn't know for sure if it was burglary. (Common law says no, but that's probably updated, but maybe not in some places, but I didn't check them all.)

I don't see how you could access a computer without using "force", any input from a human constitutes force in my opinion. So no disagreement as far as the actual crime is concerned, I'm just nitpicking for fun...

On reflection, perhaps this pointless diversion yields the following maxim:

  You can walk into a house through an open door,
  but you can't walk into a computer.

You can totally walk into a computer. I've done it. Hurts.

The only machine around here that I could totally walk into is an S/390, but oddly enough I don't have the key to its bedroom.
