... but I know I'd logged off, the last time I used du! The really scary part? I know I shut down my computer at work completely & restarted it (as I do every night before I leave) on Friday.

Am I being paranoid, or has this ever happened to anybody else?

Shouldn't shutting down and restarting a computer clear out cookies & log a person out?

It sort of freaked me out. Needless to say, I didn't feel comfortable posting anything from work!



p.s., I think I'll change my DU password now, too, while I'm thinking about this.

I am a computer idiot but the answer is no.

Some sites do,some don`t guessing it has something to do with the type of cookie they use.

Total time logged in: 7 days, 22 hours and 33 minutes.


I never log out out, even when I shut the computer down.  If a site allows me the option of staying logged in "Forever", I do it.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Cookies normally don't delete after power off. As for the other "hack" stories It wouldnt surprise me. DU is running on heavy modified yet ancient software. Id say its hackable.

I try to stay logged in forever, but my wife usually gets bored of it.
