Better than your first try, but not still not great.
Now drop the vowels and replace any number with it's binary equivalent. The GP is actually good enough. Throw four random characters on the end along with the spaces and no one will know the difference (except the user that has to memorize it).
Pass phrases need to be drilled into peoples heads. Average person can easily come up with a memorable 30+ character quotation segment. But they never even think to try. Shortened passwords are all they've seen anyone use.
It doesn't help that systems like nisplus use only the first eight characters...

(In other words, you can have a password that is longer than eight characters, but the system only checks the first eight.)

Yes, please keep voting Republican... I'm so close to buying my own Boeing 747 and would hate to also have to forgo buying another Bentley for my daughter if my taxes are raised back to pre-2001 levels.
And someone wants to sell you that 747 and bentley. And someone wants to sell the parts and tools to make them, etc. It's called trickle down, my friends. And a trickle is better than unemployment.
Take seatbelts - the oft-given example - if I don't buckle up I might die in a crash but it doesn't harm anyone else.
Incorrect. You are now a 180Lbs loose object in the car. Where your children were safely buckled, your dead body bounced to the back seat and injured them. Or you're a 450Lbs object wedged behind the steering wheel... This is slashdot after all.
Disgust them right back. How about the double viagra patdown (also in Nashville)?
The problem with this: Survival of the fittest dictates that TSA would become wholly populated with sociopaths if the normal people start leaving from disgust. It's better to disband the institution.
There are sociopaths at every social level and in every occupation.
Which is why the TSA rules need to be written in a way that the sociopaths can't exercise their power effectively without drawing attention. Random buddying in pairs or triplets in every area.
I remember installing windows without a firewall, where I'd have to sneakernet technet patches to the machine before enabling internet access. Looks like I need a faraday cage now.
I switched my entire house to CFL's. I have had to replace ONE bulb in that time - and that was not a result of burnout, but a result of a lamp that got knocked over.
Funny, the article addresses this. *More* mercury is released by the coal plants to power the extra energy needs of incandescent bulbs than is in the CFL bulbs themselves. So the 'toxicity' issue is moot.
Not completely. GP was talking about a very localized/concentrated toxic amount of Hg that requires a Hazmat team to properly dispose of the breakage. You're talking about a whole-environment slight increase in Hg in parts-per-million style.
incredibly useful on those cold nights in the tropics.
Or in the desert as my friends in Tucson found out last winter (their lines froze when the temp dipped just below freezing because no one had insulated them).
Ask your local post office if they have a form. If you're going to refuse bulk rate mail anyway, your letter carrier would rather toss it instead of carrying it twice (they dispose of refused bulk rate mail at the post office).
The political party in power at any given time is only obsessed and focused with getting themselves reelected in four years. Thus, planning is limited to FOUR YEARS. How can one run the last remaining superpower on a four year shedule? It takes 10 years to build a nuclear power plant. How long does it take to build other MEGA infrastructure projects?
By extension, when one party does plan ahead and start building Nuclear/Solar/Foo plants, after four years, the new party in power comes along to halt construction because it's not their baby.
Jesus walked on water and ascended bodily; two instances of micro gravity. He would normally need a lot of red wine to counter the effects, but as it turns out, that's His blood.
No that's only offensive for a fraction of the 200 million Americans that speak English.
I mean the fraction that is familiar with what perverts think of when they see the word Gimp.
Before Pulp Fiction, "gimp" was still offensive: it's a slur against anyone handicapped. I'm sure http://www.ada.gov/ uses their GIMP all the time for marketing. See what I did there?

now drop the spaces, change every other i to a 1, and every 3rd s to a 5, and capitalize the 5th, 12th, and 14th letter.
Or pick some other personal system to modify the phrase,
"th1siSmyjunkPa5Sword"
"th1siSmynormAlPa5sword"
"th1siSmy5ercUrEpassword"

It's a story for slashdot because it directly relates pirates and global warming.

Worse, even. Placebo doesn't come with a slew of side effects, except maybe walrus like body changes.

Did you clean up the mercury properly?
They also aren't as toxic when you break them.

I'd mod you up, but I'm afraid that you might get such a high score that you'd wrap around and become -1 Evil.
Also, facebook's "requirement" of real names helps users find people instead of looking for odd usernames.
I'm a believer too. God made the platypus, so I'm sure humor is high on His list.

You can request that bulk rate mail go to the round file at the post office. I did that and now only get real mail.

this is just ONE MORE reason for huge multibillion-dollar companies to give Open Source the finger.
Naw, they've had that reason since the GIMP (maybe before).
