A PC with its electricity bill paid and its Internet bill paid is a 'resource'. It will be used; either by the bill payer or by someone else. Our ability to write software is far in advance of our ability to understand what it does; so it's not really surprising that we sometimes get 'emergent' behaviour. Currently Windows is worst affected; but other kinds of PCs can in principle be affected too.
