It's a far sight more memorable than h6FA!j#Aq63K3 which is what developers still think is the golden rule of password formats. I recognize that I'm bad at random, but I can remember made up words just as easily as real ones. Any fan of sci fi or fantasy novels can rattle off a ton of words that aren't standard English. Make a passphrase generator. I've got a script that uses a few *nix dictionaries and finds actual random words. It's like a word of the day calendar except without the definitions. The bad part is that "naughty" words get thrown in the mix, so if I'm ever generating them for other people as a one-use passphrase, I have to vet the list or risk HR.

It's not a sign of failure to say the game is finished with development.

Here's how: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/i...

I just wish it were Ma Bell.

That's only four. Oxford Comma-Man, AWAaay!

They'd be smart to reduce prices sooner unless they want people getting used to the taste of "honey sauce: 99% HFCS, flavored with real honey!"

Most people increase emissions as they age. Might I suggest trying Bean-No to start?

The ridiculous part isn't the security holes in beta software. It's that the article assumes beta software is "the latest updates" or that you can get it pre-installed when you buy the latest hardware.

Good thing Gollum didn't have one of these; he would have won the riddle game!

Who really wins these lotteries? The advertising firms designing every new scratch off ticket. Every week there's another new "game" that has a million advertising spots on radio, TV, billboards, etc. If it were about income for the state (tax on the math challenged), then they'd just need a few scratch offs that never change style and a big lottery for the dreamers. There would be little to no need to advertise (or to have a hushed, sped-up voice admonish listeners to "play responsibly"). This is about funneling money to the advertisers, and using the advertisers to grab (or create) as many gambling addicts as they can get. That's a sick thing for government to do.

This is intended to create cancer with frickin' lasers. Cancer sucks enough already.

I hope the Ministry of Silly Walks is conducting a full investigation.

Finally a car analogy I can understand.

Ant-man (the title) is one of Marvel's oldest heroes. This is the new ant-man, so Alpha Flight pre-dates him by a bit, but Alpha Flight were introduced in X-Men, which might make them part of the X series of characters for movie ownership purposes.
