A friend of mine ran crack over/etc/passwd on his physics department's unix system, successfully cracking 20% of the passwords on file. He sent the results to his sysadmin, with a note asking the sysadmin to implement crack system-wide, and was promptly reprimanded.
That's amazing! Something like that just happened to a friend of mine who smoked crack while on his physics department's unix system. He told the sysadmin about his dealer and asked that they purchase crack for all the users, and was promptly jailed.
I strictly use secure, highly-encrypted passwords. In fact, I am so confident of my encryption that I am willing to post the password that I use on all my accounts right here:

where an HR department sees that you have experience with Java 1.4.02, but they want Java 1.4.03. Obviously you are not qualified.
LOL! Is this related to the HR's request of you having at least ten years of experience programming in both Java and.NET?
America -- land of the free. And to guarantee that freedom, everyone has to be constantly watchful. Like the photo store clerk from Eckerd who dutifully reported a Peruvian-born couple's lewd shots of their infants to the Richardson (Dallas/Texas suburbs) police. The photos showed the parents' two infants bathing naked, lying together in bed with their mother (again naked) and the 1-year-old Rodrigo suckling his mother's (naked) breast. So the couple was arrested -- the maximum prison sentence for the crime in question being 20 years -- and the children taken away.
I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 on about fifty Windows XP systems in my office, and it pwned my network! All the bluetooth devices started smoking, and worse yet, all the cooling fans are now spinning wildly, making so much noise that the secretary stabbed herself in the ear with a pencil. Service Pack 2 caused the toilets in the mens' room to become clogged, so all the men had to start using the ladies' room, and this has resulted in several fist-fights and one incident where Mrs. Perkins from accounting soaked Mr. Stevens from sales with about a gallon of pepper spray. Several of the fire sprinklers spontaneously came on, and thoroughly soaked the PHB during a meeting (actually, not a bad thing, he clearly needed to cool off.) Service Pack 2 has ruined my life! It even rigged the laptop modems to dial 9-1-1, so we were visited by the cops on a number of occasions last week, all of which had nothing to do with the pepper spray incident. I hate M$ for their horrid service packs! I'm deeply ashamed that I ever tried to install it in the first place, and I will be deploying Linux and OpenOffice across the enterprise first thing on Monday!
Who cares? It's all about the password. The most secure password in the world is a zero-length one, as it will fail all password cracking attempts. All! You can't beat that, no matter how long a password you use.

LOL, thank you. You made me squirt Root Beer out my nose.
Yes, but what about the eJihad and iFear products? I hear they're terrifying.
Next!
Thank you, I'm a lowly electronic janitor (sysadmin), and you just made my day!
Incompetude? Seth, you're an idiot. Just because you're a code monkey doesn't mean you can make up "new" words for the English language.

You're a fucking moron. NetBEUI is not routable. Duh!
This reminds me of DJB's offer of a reward for anyone who can find a security flaw in qmail.

- A thirty-year-old man who has that same picture in the nightstand next to his bed?

Glad I'm running OS/2 Warp!
Just one more reason to move out of California.
- Outsource your entire development team, thereby saving your employer a ton of money.
- Get paid a large bonus for being so innovative and forward-thinking!
- Quit and run like hell before your employer realizes they are now screwed.
* Some limitations apply. May not be considered success in all situations, or by all people. Not valid in California, New York, or Texas.Recommend a good outsourcing solution, and then resign from your job.
