I really believe that most of the Opensource
people (me included) think of working for a game
company as the greatest job out there.
Writing free software is great, but I (and I
believe there is a lot of others with the same
opinion as me hence the BSD license) writes
software because we really love to do it, not
because we believe that all software should be
free, no strings attached. After all, if that
was the case, RMS would have been everone's hero
(;
Anyway, go read the responses to the interview
of Michael Abrash and see what we think - I
personally think he is a god (: Your'e definitely
bound to find too much people who will be your
slaves if your just ask.
PS:
Working for the creators of games like Mortal
Combat - hell yeah.
I take info about the box, say the hostname is apple and the owner / sysadmin of the box's name is Peter, I'll use something like
"peter box" or "applebox -> peter" Of course the idea is to use short names so you can throw as many stuff in between the first 8 characters (which is what matters)
I also usually take usefull numbers e.g. my PIN numbers, ID number, Student number, etc. shuffle them and use them as well and I replace some of the letters with obvious stuff, e.g.
"5p0e1t3r" See, I mixed peter with 5013 which comes from my ID number, no I replace the E's with 3's and make the first and last letter capitals. Also if there we're spaces left, I would've added punct's (e.g. ^&*)*(, etc.) It's always easy to remember if you can visualize it and if it's symmetrical e.g.
")**(" or "%%HAHA%% (:"
I find it very useful to always use the info about the box on which the password is and the account as a starting point and I tend to standarize on which way I do substitutions and keep the subset small. That way, I never forget the passwords and even if I do, I can guess it with minimal effort.
