Totally true - and programs like slashdot should insist people use simple passwords.
The equivalent of putting a luggage lock on your luggage, as opposed to a real lock.
Among other things, it will discourage people from reusing a slashdot password for something that pales in comparison.
Your bank account? It's just money. You've blown it before and earned some more.
Your e-mail password? Well, you definitely don't want just anyone posing as the relative of your long-lost cousin of royal Nigerian descent.
But Slashdot? Imagine the destruction wrought with your account in the hands of APK for 24 hours.
