If I only had a brain...

You know what? For one particular password, I was a good girl and chose something genuinely hard to remember, mixed case, letters and numbers, the whole bit.

Then I wrote it down. Because -- duh -- I couldn't remember it.

The next time they made me change it, I changed it to something I could remember.

I was looking in some catalog kind of like Levengers and they had a pad advertised to help keep your passwords straight. I guess so you can write them down and have them easy to steal.

Unless I'm also providing them my name and the location of my computer, I don't see the big deal really. Take my password, may it bring you joy. Give me a voucher large enough to buy a whole cup of coffee though, please.

as opposed to a piece of a paper or a post it note. I love Levengers but Come On. you dont need a special pad to write your passwords on.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Here, we have to change our password something like every 8 weeks, and the new one can't be the same as any of our previous 24 passwords. So I always write mine down. It's on a post-it in front of my computer. (I figure anyone who can get to my desk has already made it past 28+ security cameras and a magnetic card reader, so either they work here, or could probably hack my password anyway.)

For a $3 coffee card, I'd happily give someone a fake password.

And, I totally would give them a fake password for a large black tea lemonade. "It's password"

After I got a new computer at my old job, the password was "changeme" for the longest time.

May 13, 2005 | LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska's ban on gay marriage was struck down by a federal judge who ruled the measure interferes with the rights of gay couples and people in a host of other living arrangements, including foster parents and adopted children. The constitutional amendment, which defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman, was passed overwhelmingly by the voters in November 2000.

Well, that's something.

I expect that the Judge's decision will not hold up on appeal, but we'll see this case as a justification of a federal admendment to ban gay marriage. The admendment to ban gay marriage will be pushed in fall of next year.

We have to change our passwords at work every month. It's not supposed to be anything like the last 5 passwords, but there are ways to get around it. I've been using combinations that relate to fandom.
