I sometimes use the numbers from my bicycle combo padlock...that I had in school...30 years ago.

I am like Drew. I have a set of about six bizarre and semi-random passwords, eight to twelve characters long, that I use under different circumstances. Like, if the site is financial in nature, I use one of the two longest. If the site is fluff, I use one of the two shortest. I also have four different 4 character numerical passwords for things like ATM codes.
Especially the web site passwords, there is no possible way to guess what they are. And I have them committed to memory.
I also have at least two combinations of Drew's memorized. I'm not as crazy as Drew, but I'm in the neighborhood.

Anyone have any idea why everything I print from Firefox is suddenly 50%? Word docs, PDFs, etc. are fine, but for some reason, Firefox is printing very small. I've tried printing to the big printer and the one attached to my computer. If I print from IE, it's fine.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Check the settings in File-->Page Setup ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure where the buttons on this mouse are. Perhaps the eyes? Hell of a job.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think the top of the skull is in 2 parts that are the buttons. There's the arc above the nose-hole, and then the crack running up from that.
Very cool

For some reason an articulated skull is much grosser to me that a mouse made out of a real skull. Although if that's really sheep it must be a lamb. Maybe that's how come--the skull hasn't fused yet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
And then there's my mom's, which are a conglomeration of random letters and numbers with various capitalizations stuck in there for good measure. She uses the first letters of a phrase you'll remember method, which I taught her but don't use. She's awesome.
I do this with movie quotes.
Our home computer's password is a version of the word "Serenity" and I love the hint D came up with: "malcontent".
That mouse is awesome. If I could afford it I'd have a steam punk house.
