You are wrong. You can use French when programming. You want your variables and comments in French. But it's ridiculous to have your keywords also in French. It is debatable if it is a good idea to have libraries translated into another language. Here an example in PHP

$query = "SELECT ID, Parent, Nom FROM Animaux ORDER BY Nom ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$categories = array();

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$categories[] = array(
'parent_id' => $row['Parent'],
'categorie_id' => $row['ID'],
'nom_categorie' => $row['Nom']
);

In this case the second password needs more combinations to be cracked just because it's longer

That's the whole point of the comic, to calculate entropy. If passwords were fully random the short one has 72.1 bits of entropy and the long ones has 117.5. It doesn't matter that you can achieve 117.9 bits of entropy with only 18 characters and the wider character set. I think it is much easier to remember: "ihgfwljytcvkrpnfdakngtecj" than "jgEm,8(l]tT3FcVNw#".

Comment Re:Concepcion, Chile: not the second largest City. (Score 1) 374

That Wikipedia article mixes communes (municipalities) and cities. La Florida, 365,563 inhabitants, is not and has never been a city. Puente Alto (492,603 inhabitants) was a separate city 20 years ago, but not now. A conurbation is a fancy name that means currently a city, even if 50 years ago there were many of them.
