Think about one of your favourite songs, poems (e.g. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles) Now take the first letters of the refrain or the first verse (e.g. "Hey Jude, don't make it bad") and you get "HJdmib" If you like, translate it a little bit into "l33t speak": HJdm1b And you have a great password that you can remember easily.
... you have to put a debit card into the machine for age verification. (of course you can pay with it too) Why didn't the Japanese use this simple idea? It may not be perfect, but far more effective than their "solution".
Yep. I guess the marketing guys come up with the nicest sounding words when it comes to worst things. Just like in "Digital RIGHTS Management" or "PATRIOT act".
Yep. That is why Red Hat made these t-shirts. Red Hat does not seem to have problems with Centos, but I'm not so sure about Oracle's copy of their distribution...
I think it's a bit sad that they focus almost exclusively on Java in their "open source in software development" area. Where are other really interesting languages like Python, Perl, PHP, etc.? The world does not run on Java alone.
It is just sad to read the Python implementation of this functionality. Almost nothing is written according to the Python Style Guide. Weird "__foo"-variables can be found, then it's not Python2.3 compliant because of ONE silly "staticmethod", many "getters" and "setters" which are just useless in this script.
If MS wants to show their code to the scripting community, they should at least make it pretty and according to the language's coding standards. But maybe that is their understanding of "pretty". Who knows.

You do know how search engines work? Try a Google search for "Kane Lynch Jeff" and you can even feel lucky.
