Oh no, he's weak in graph theory and combinatorics? Only about 1% of college graduates even know what those things are anymore. He's clearly doomed.

Another global consequence: a new new angle of attack. Hack the "world database of people ids" and set people you don't like as "hostile combatants". A wonderful way to get other governments to kill people you want to die by claiming they are hostile to that government.

So the primary benefit listed to chipping everyone, being able to identify and avoid citizens in war, only helps make something we'd like to eliminate completely in the future more efficient. I don't think I'll get on board with this, considering the consequences.

That's great, but has nothing to do with what I am pointing out. Adding "000" to the front of a string already classified as taking centuries to crack, all of the sudden takes less than 1 day to crack. Can you explain to me why this is?

Just did this:
Start with "awesomepasswordtoday"
1 year, 8 months
Go to "awesomepasswordtoday000"
7 centuries, 8 decades
Go to "000awesomepasswordtoday000"
less than 1 day

This tells me there is something in the logic that makes it a pretty unreliable metric of password strength.

Interesting thought, but I'd like to see some evidence.

Seems pretty sad to me as well. I was fairly confused why space enthusiasts were cheering the entombment of the shuttle.

The terminology is not obscure. You are ignorant.

The first time you "logged in to the Internet" was to make a Facebook account? Also, I'm not sure how walking to your friend's place to get Visual Studio taught you anything more about programming -- certainly less than experimenting with example code you find on a website, usually provided from other developers attempting to solve similar problems.

I think it was probably clear I intended to annoy/offend the legislature of Arizona by saying that they are "crapping all over free speech." However, in my own best interest, I will claim that I did not.
