It wasn't an entirely flip comment about Richard Feynman. (The Other Genius) When the incorrigible Feynman got to Los Alamos for the Manhatten project I suppose it was, he spent more time than was proper opening his colleagues filing cabinets. Military secret ones they were. Didn't have to, just wanted to see if he could. When his boss said he couldn't open the big one in his office, Young Richard set about trying to crack it...but couldn't. When the man from Acme Safes (or whatever) turned up, he opened it in a trice.
"People hardly ever change the default setting." Says he.
Our man also used to enter the secure...top secret even, site, and go out again over a broken fence, only to go in the gate again. After three or so goes the gate guard got miffed.
I would love to have met him. The book's a very funny read for the average tekkie
