If anyone gathered metrics on such practices, I would bet that for most environments, they would find that it yields the opposite effect of what is intended.

It makes strong passwords and lots and lots of password lists under keyboards, in text files, and on post-it notes.

I gave a little talk at a Toorcon event a couple years ago where I included some pictures of password lists found in the wild.

I think everyone competent knows about these things, they just choose not to say anything about it because it is a "best practice."

No, this is the real article, three blogs down.

Lovin the LOLs, LOL is my will

MAYBE NONE OF, PROBABLY ALL OF, AND DEFINITELY MORE THAN:

New ways of getting your load onto your quivering victim's stack
Reaching into the hearts and minds (also the genitals) of users.
Firefox re-entrant threading lols
Patching BIOS for kernel-patching rootkit memory injections
Aggresive AIM attacks and escapades
Internet hilarity, sexual innuendo, LOLDONGS

So, someone starts another conference. No biggie.

Like maybe...

Toorcon
