Casino Royale thing...

At the beginning of this movie Bond knows how to break into M's house, use M's computer and log into her MI6 account from Nassau.

M: How does he know these things?

Indeed. How does he know these things? It's never explained.

Absolutely_Cart

Because he's a spy and thats what spies do lol

True it's not explained but Bond has always had some " hidden assets "
I'd say it was a case of Bond being good at his job, I would assume that
He's been on many a course to cover house breaking, surveillance and all
Manner of covert operations.

This.

There are probably people out there (in the real world) doing things like that which us ordinary people could not even imagine.

Bond has been trained in the Art of breaking in -{

Yeah, I know he's a spy, I know it's just a film, but it's not just your or my house, it's the house of the head of MI6. Pretty slack if you ask me.

Thunderpussy

He probably used the cat flap, M was pretty slack about these things, she
Lost the hard drive with the list of names, after all. she was too busy
Thinking about Bond's perfectly formed arse !

Compared to that last poker hand in CR everything else in a Bond movie is completely realistic )

Not picking on Casino Royale here, but I do find it funny in all poker movies
That they get such great hands, as from playing poker for real. Sometimes the
Biggest pots go to, the highest pair, or three of a kind. )

And this is the result of "people" doing things like that, evidence from "equipment" placed in the house by it is believed MI 5

True, but the reveal probably wouldn't be as dramatic if Bond just one with a pair of three's )

Remember, Bond doesn't trust anyone, so he would learn and use these skills to find out info on stuff. This way, he doesn't have to trust what others (even his superiors) tell him.
