Perfect comment for the Blah:
I think that you can truly call yourself a computer geek when you and your coworker have an actual discussion about the WOPR in Wargames and how fast it would be to figure out an alphanumeric 10-length launch code if, as the WOPR, you only had to use a brute force attack and could find every single number/letter individually. Why, just cycle through every single number and uppercase/lowercase letter! If it had to figure out all 10 simultaneously, now THAT would take some time.
Moral of the story? Make strong passwords and always choose Chess over Global Thermonuclear War.
Oh yeah...and don't give geeks too much free time to think about these sorts of things.
