Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Known as "AviD's Rule Of Usability"
http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/6095/xkcd-936-short-complex-password-or-long-dictionary-passphrase/6116#6116

It echoes what other security experts have been saying for a while, but in a nice taut phrase.

New !Muchas gracias, Señor! A keeper all around
..and perfect illustration of the computer/human dichotomy, on several scales. Must be passed around: know several with minimal formal math but insightful-wired jelloware ..and virtuoso BS-detectors.

(Will also bet that they will see the elegance of this koan--as do I--as a fine rebuttal to the pecksniffery oft imposed from on-high, not only in bizness hierarchies. Our culture creates entirely too-many autodidacts who imagine that their one skill-set will suffice for all decisions.)


Carrion.. sometimes it's tasty ;^>

New “The best navigation idea since the tube map”
What first-time traveler to Old Blighty/especially Londinium.. has Not brought back a bitchin small or HYARGE Map of the Tubes aka Underground? All ye need to know is right There, for train changes and coming Stops.

(Mine was a "dish towel" thingy, colorful and all, which for years has been the dust-cover draped over the workbench scope ... fond remembrance of events in Stoke Newington, driving on the Wrong-side and ... )

That it can be transliterated and that name combos have a degree of self-checking for typo or other errata, seems a giant bonus.

WHEN then , do the 1%? 0.1%? Smart People begin rolling out this System--not just makin Attagirl sounds--as for a jillion other CleverLad gifts to the zeitgeist? A worldwide military budget on a crash-diet could fund such simple matters instantly. (Except that nobody yet has an inkling of the cure for Sabre-rattling-Fever.. eg. Exhibit #1: any excrescences with the word Iran embedded somewhere.
New Cool link.
(Also I note they bump up against one of my pet hates about idiotic password controls: other than a very generous length (like over 100), you should accept _any_ character a user can post as a password. Including spaces, accented characters, obscure mathematical symbols or Chinese glyphs.)
