An admin I knew always reset the passwords of people who had forgotten their passwords to "I4GOT". We had lots of support calls which went something like this.
"So what's my new password?"
"I4GOT"
"No, I forgot, but I asked you to reset it for me. What did you reset it to?"
"I4GOT"
"Well, if you forgot it, how do you expect me to remember it?"
The advantage of this system is that, as well as handling the security of your laptop, it is also able to tell you that you will meet a tall dark stranger, you will live to an old age and will be lucky in love but not in money.
I can well remember about 20 years ago I drove from Holland to England by way of the Channel Tunnel in a large rental van I had hired to pick up a suite of furniture that my in-laws in England had generously said they would to give to me. The French Customs stopped me at the entrance to the tunnel and asked me what I was transporting in the van, to which I innocently replied "Nothing". They took a look at the empty van.
Next thing I knew there were about 14 gendarmes inside and outside the van going over the vehicle inch by inch knocking on every panel to find the secret compartment. It was good half an hour before they gave up trying to find the non-existent drugs. The air of mystification on their faces was a joy to behold when they let me go. I swear some of them still believed I must have filled the back of the van with drugs in gaseous form.
Another leaked memo reveals that the next version of the text proposed by the US contains the words "You must love Big Brother. It is not enough to obey him, you must love him."
When H5N1 was doing the rounds in the UK, I, and my wife, and a lot of other people I knew, had long running and/or recurrent chest infections over a couple of months or so. None of us was ill enough to bother to go to the doctor, and there were enough people about with the same symptoms that we were still working, so we didn't need a medical report to miss work. So, we never got on any statistics for having something. My feeling (and my wife's, who is a biologist) is that its quite likely that a lot of people got H5N1 but were never diagnosed nor counted. This makes the claimed "H5N1 killed n% of people it infected" (whatever n% was) totally specious.
And I'd bet that the same is true of SARS.
I lived in China throughout the SARS outbreak. Your idea would be plausible in a Western country, but not in China during SARS. Every workplace took the temperatures of everyone turning up for work every day. If you had any fever, you were isolated and had to see a doctor. Little old ladies from the Communist party social welfare organization did the rounds of every house and apartment regularly to check whether anyone had fever or flu-like symptoms. Anyone travelling by air or train had their temperature taken. In some cases, whole quarters of cities where a case was reported were cordoned off and no one went in or out. The country was pretty much locked down, which is why the spread was as little as it was.
I would be interested in a cite about the number of Chinese killed.
"The First Heroes: The Extraordinary Story of the Doolittle Raid—America's First World War II Victory" by Craig NELSON. London: Penguin Press, 2002. ISBN 978-0-14-200341-1. See pages 226-228.
More to the point, what about the Chinese casualties? The often ignored result of the raid was that the Japanese, in reprisals against any family, village or town that they thought might have helped the escaping Doolittle raiders, murdered about 250,000 men, women and children. That number is not a typo. It is not a mistake or an exaggeration. Two hundred and fifty thousand Chinese were slaughtered by the Imperial Japanese Army during the search for Doolittle's men.
Now please remind me again why I should care about the Japanese casualties.
Yes, I think he's some kind of deviated prevert. I think General Ripper found out about his preversion, and he's organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts.

Generally speaking, not so many people end up dead in battles for tenure.
The real question is: how did the NSA know that the Dutch secret service was doing this?
They were paying them to do it?

I have a job and two girlfriends (one three year relationship one four year relationship - both still going strong).
I hope they don't find out about each other.
