The point of avoiding monitoring is so that his wife doesn't know how he spends the money. Therefore, the explanation "I buy them on sale and sell them on ebay. I then pocket the difference" is the same as accepting monitoring.
In this case the second password needs more combinations to be cracked just because it's longer
That's the whole point of the comic, to calculate entropy. If passwords were fully random the short one has 72.1 bits of entropy and the long ones has 117.5.
It doesn't matter that you can achieve 117.9 bits of entropy with only 18 characters and the wider character set. I think it is much easier to remember: "ihgfwljytcvkrpnfdakngtecj" than "jgEm,8(l]tT3FcVNw#".
That Wikipedia article mixes communes (municipalities) and cities. La Florida, 365,563 inhabitants, is not and has never been a city. Puente Alto (492,603 inhabitants) was a separate city 20 years ago, but not now. A conurbation is a fancy name that means currently a city, even if 50 years ago there were many of them.
every website i go to from now on, i need to study the url with a magnifying glass to make sure i am getting the actual site i wanted.
The new characteristic is that ccTLDs are allowed. Second level domains have been available for several years. For example http://www.xn--and-6ma2c.cl/ ñandú.cl
Are you sure it's not.rf - which doesn't clash with anything either, and makes much more sense to Russians themselves (since that is the standard abbreviation for Russian Federation in Russian).
You are right. I checked and it's.pø (ø with a vertical bar).
Compare http://xn--slashdt-f1a.com/ and http://xn--slashdt-f1a.de/ In Firefox the first one shows punycode and the German one correctly appears as slashdöt.de, because Germans are known to forbid scammers, and.com is notoriously the opposite.
There are letters in the Cyrillic alphabet that have different character codes than their look-alike letters in the Latin alphabet.
Remember we are talking about ccTLDs. There are no more than 200 countries that would like to use non ASCII ccTLD, and they can be inspected manually. Russia wasn't awarded Cyrillic.ru because it looks like Latin.py (Paraguay). They will get.fr (Russian Federation) that looks like 0p (0 with vertical bar).
The names of the genders are wrong. A girl and a table belong to gender A. A boy and a book belong to gender B. Gender B is also know as the unmarked gender.
- Keyboards. Even in Western nations, configurations change however slightly, so that a QWERTY in the USA is a QWERTZ in Switzerland, then another thing in Spain, etc, which tends to REALLY slow down typing speed.
Every keyboard is configured to optimize typing speed in the language or languages of the country it was designed for.
- The North Americans invented the Internet, so USA websites are dot-com, while the rest of the world uses dot-com-dot-suffix.
Many countries use dot-suffix since the internet was invented. dot-com-dot-suffix has been abandoned by some other countries.
Also we have don't have the (IMHO ridiculous) gender system for all nouns whether they are things that actually have a gender or not, which simplifies use of adjectives among other advantages.
Yor are confusing gender and sex. Sex is biological and gender is mostly arbitrary, with biology used with humans, but not all the time.

That's why I've always maintained correct/proper capitalization and grammar and compete sentences, even in IMs and IRC chats. In fact, it actually slows me down when I have to purposely corrupt a text message in order to reduce its size (such as on Twitter or SMS).

Obviously you didn't see Pulp Fiction. :)
Go to Wikipedia.

There are less that two hundred, not millions, of potential ccTLDs.
Actually we are talking about the English alphabet, with j, u and w, which Latin din't have.

You are right. I checked and it's .pø (ø with a vertical bar).
The French use .fr, the Russians will use .øp (ø with a vertical bar, not diagonal).
And since I made a mistake, it's actually .pø

slashdöt is not a ccTLD, and currently is allowed. Click here in Firefox or Opera: http://xn--slashdt-f1a.de/

What about .museum or .info? (more than three letters).
bánkófámérícá is not a TLD. This was allowed several years ago.

You forgot yards.
Feet should be abolished. You would say "He is 1 yard and 35 inches tall". Or "I wouldn't touch it with a 3 yard pole".
Then the conversion to meters would be easy (not for heights, though, because 9% error is too much).

Moderated as follows
What they are actually saying is Martin L. King can't be condensed, his speech is good as it is.
I suggest infirmarist.
Tennis player Jesse Levine (100th in ATP ranking) has his own Wikipedia page in four languages. I conclude that many people know his name.
However, I think that you are making a valid point. Just change 100th by 1000th.
