Technically Yes, but if they have access to your computer they could easily flash the bios, by moving jumpers around and wipe all existing passwords on your motherboard.

just press enter when startup and chose which you want to boot from, even if you set password in bios you can clear it by the ClearCMos buttn at the motherboard

to boot from an external device you have to get into the bios boot menu right? so if you have your bios password protected this wouldn't work.

(i want to join in the fun)i have a good idea to, keep a bottle of water and or soft drink next to your computer, and poor it over it...

WRONG. RAM losses data as soon as there isn't any power. Only capacitors can store power. So the only risk to ur PC when it off. Surges.
