I was 8 years old in 1977 and there were precious few members of my conservative rural school class who hadn't seen the movie in the theater by the end of the year. Violence, tame by today's standards, was the only thing giving it a PG rating, and once word got around, everybody went to see it.
After a while, they'll add something to detect that number, so you then just move it to the middle of the word. And if they get wise to that, then just repeat it - still easy to remember, something like "Passw00rd!", "Passw11rd!", etc. And of course you'll need one alternate base word to swap in when they limit you to "no repeats" within 13 changes. Another tip is to just write down your password, but write it in a "masked" fashion - like Pxxxxx, giving you a letter or two as hints without giving away the password in total.
And don't forget that computer folk have specific FLSA exemptions which let management disregard the kind of professional behavior that those in the other disciplines have.
The problem seems to be that too many people make that career decision too early and (here it comes) endeavor to drive the car without knowing what the wheel and pedals do, and what the rules of the road are.
Did I miss something here or are we trying to protect people from an idea that they might "misunderstand"? If we're going to ban the word encryption from discussions about security, then we're no better than those monsters in our paranoid dreams.

These kids today don't remember the Lectroid invasion...
Is that you, KETTLE?
Thank you. Finally a voice of reason to help people understand that Nixon was a reptilian!
Too bad this wasn't first post. Could have saved much pointless reading.

The dial shifter in late-model Ram trucks handles this, as well as automatically putting itself into park if you forget when you turn off the key.

Hmmm, you wouldn't happen to have ever been eaten by a grue, would you?
"an maximum altitude" -- typo, or Euro-grammar gone too far?! It's getting so hard to tell anymore.

Quiet!!! If the Europeans find out, they'll invade, and we'll all end up having to eat soft cheese and wear form-fitting track suits!
Don't worry, I'm sure the usage of "an" will soon be on the way out just like our dear, departed "are".

Didn't even RTFS, now that's advanced Slashdotting!
No problem. You just need a bigger car.
Nah, Moore's other law predicts that the process will be down to 10 to the -10000th nm by then. Those AI CPUs will make more power than they use!
Couldn't we ban the trolls and their feeders first?
IT workers are specifically excluded from being treated as professionals in labor law, so we're in a hole to start with.
Thanks, this is just what I was thinking. What, do we still need to set up the Big Ugly Dish to watch NASA?
Even better would be Futurama: Bender's Game.
Bravo. A joke which provides its own rim shot.
My first Windows 95 machine was a Mac 7600 with a 100MHz Pentium card in it. As bad as 95 was, it was still better than the old Mac OS at the time.
