Comment Dear Slashdot... (Score 1) 609

I download a lot of 720/1080p videos, and I also seed a lot of pirated video. I have run out of slots to put in hard drives across two computers. I need (read: need to upkeep my ratio) my files at all times (over a network is fine), especially since I mirror TPB, what I've got on the Beowulf cluster. I don't want to have the MPAA beating down my door, I want all hard drives available all the time to anyone connected to the Internet. I'm assuming that, since it's copyrighted material, I won't need more than three lawyers to defend me and thus I'm hoping a solution exists that can be easily disposed of and/or hidden away from the authorities and still keep somewhat untraceable. So Slashdot, what have you done? Fixed that for ya.

Preach it, brother!

I know for a FACT that violence has always been the heart and soul of video games! Did you know that the first video game, Pong, was based on two bullies pushing a nerd back and forth between them, with the "loser" being the one who didn't get in the last push before the nerd ran away?

Post-Enlightenment scientific rigour vs Superstition and quack doctors: Yeah that living to the old age of 30 sounds great. Get me a piece of that action... We've still got voodoo nonsense and you're free to go get "treated" by one if you wish.

How about the simple fact the "article" was written and published for the internet?

Comment Use a "Rootword" System (Score 2, Interesting) 1007

I keep track of all my passwords using a "rootword" system I devised. I started off simply, and have made the system more complex as time passes.

As an example, all my passwords are based off a single, easily-remembered word. Then I complicate the rootword -- i.e., by replacing characters with symbols or numbers so that even in the unlikely chance anyone ever does find out my rootword, they don't know which iteration of characters make up the string of said word. If I choose "banana", then my rootword may end up being "b@Nan4" or "BAn@n@" or "b4n4n@" etc.

Next, I simply add extra characters as identifiers to the rootword depending on the services or sites for which it is used. It may have something to do with the site or service name, the person that introduced me to it, or something completely random that reminds me of it. Thus, my "b@Nan4" may end up as "g00b@Nan4" for a Gmail account.

You'd be surprised at how simple it is to remember a couple hundred different passwords using a system like this.
