    Though 20 years of effort we've successfully trained everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember but easy for computers to guess[^]

    "... having only that moment finished a vigorous game of Wiff-Waff and eaten a tartiflet." - Henry Minute  "Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF!" - gavindon   Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning. - gavindon

      "OTD" usually implies today's comic, or at least a fairly recent one. Not one that was posted in August 2011! ;P

          I will not beg your pardon, Master Elrond, for my implied misuse of the OTD etiquette, protocol, decorum, policies and procedures, for had I meant of "XKCD Of Today" I obviously would have titled it XKCDOT... But actually thank you for helping me realize that my acronym does leave much room for improvement as actually I posted it in the spirit of "XKCD That I Just Recently Discovered That Was Especially Poignant To The Current Work I Am Doing In The Area of Authentication, Encryption, Cryptography and Security Heuristics That I Decided To Post In The Lounge Today", which would rightfully result in XKCDTIJRDTWEPTTCWIADITAOAECASHTIDTPITLT Thanks for catching that...

              Depends on perspective. Of the day could be relative to CP. :^)

              There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
