Is 20 pound for the weight like 30 pounds if a guy lifts?

Weird. I have completely emptied my To-Do list now.

Of course there is more work looming on the horizon...

[Tax-chick]

Oh. I’d never have thought of that.

[sionnsar]

It was out of desperation. I too was facing the mess of passwords, and getting concerned about the wisdom of, say, registering with a site using the same password as the e-mail account where they will "verify" my registration.

My two-rule algorithm actually broke down at work, where they now require periodic changes and won't let you use the past 7 or so passwords. But I fixed 'em, I did, I developed a third rule for these situations. *\;-)

[Tax-chick]

We had to change passwords regularly where I worked, too. I went through all the 8-letter states, 8-letter vegetables, 8-letter country singers, etc.

[newgeezer]

It doesn't have to be; just set up a simple rule

The one problem I have with such a rule is, it just takes one place where they don't adequately protect your password, and one person there to see your password and figure out your rule. Then, he pretty much knows all your passwords everywhere else.

How much chance is there of that? Maybe not much. But—especially as simple and self-contained as your rule is—it's a chance I'm unwilling to take.

Cilbupereerf....

sounds like some kind of biological out-gassing process.

I’m worse. In the cases where frequent password changes are required, I’ve resorted to combinations and permutations of 0123Abcd. Everytime I have to make a change, I shift the numerals, and either swap the alphas end-for-end or alter which one is capitalized. If they change their protocol to require one character each from the Hebrew and Greek alphabets, it’ll really mess me up, though.

"Cilbupereerf.... sounds like some kind of biological out-gassing process."

It reminds me of the character names of the high-gravity critters in Hal Clement's "Mission of Gravity".

"Beechermarlf" was one, I think.

[sionnsar]

I quite admit the rule I used to demonstrate wouldn't be a good one because it's too easily guessed, even from a single case.

I had to make the tradeoff because every time I turned around I was having to make up a new password for something else at work -- one for my e-mail, one for the travel reservation system, one for expense reports, one for the internal website, one for... and each one of them on a different change cycle.

[Monkey Face]

Golly! I was on a train, once!

[Tax-chick]

It’s a fun experience.

[sionnsar]

You too? *\;-)

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

That’s a line from an old TV show that didn’t even last one season. It was called, “On the Rocks,” about prisoners who managed to “escape” whenever they wanted, but always made it back before dawn.

The doofus of the bunch was about three paragraphs behind the punchline...

[sionnsar]

ANd here I though you were trying to derail the conversation.

[Tax-chick]

That show actually sound familiar!

[Monkey Face]

ANd here I though you were trying to derail the conversation.

LOL! It was a stationary joke...

[Monkey Face]

It was a funny show, but the critics panned it. I guess they didn’t understand the jokes.

[rottndog]

What do critics know, anyway?

[sionnsar]

LOL! It was a stationary joke...

Made it easier to track down.
