Then Running back Eddie Lacy want down with an ankle injyry and had to be carted off to the locker room. Packers have now lost two their best players in a matter of weeks with deep threat wide receiver Jordi Nelson out for the season after a knee injury in prte season and now Lacey hurt.

    To add insult to injury green bay just fumbled the ball and lost a player on defence to another injury. What looked like a good game is now shaping up to be a disaster for the Green & Gold.

    Passwords are supposed to be something that no one could guess in a million years with a combination of upper and lower case and a sprinkling of numbers and symbols and it can't spell anything. You're also not supposed to write it down anywhere and use a different password for everything. So how the heck can I remember them all? When someone asks how old I am, I have to think about it. 

    Password managers!  I use Norton Identity Safe, but there are others that are good.  Norton Identity Safe is free, which I didn't know until recently, because I have the security suite free from Comcast.  There is a password generator they have with it, too.  You tell it how many characters, digits, special characters and click the button and it spits out a password that you can copy and paste into a signup password box.  And then Identity Safe will save that in your "vault" when you submit to the site.  That way, you never have to type it. 

    I would be lost without it, I have a different password for every site I sign up on.

    208 million dollars  http://nylottery.ny.gov/wps/portal/Home/Lottery/Home

    retirement here i come, come on lotto

    I hear that winning the lotto is not always a good thing.

     

    they trying to make us feel better about losing

    ..this is why I only play the Oregon Megabucks.  The jackpots are not ludicrous (usually a couple million and rarely even 10 or more), and you can actually request to not have your name published so you don't suddenly discover all those friends you never thought you had and/or lose those you have when they all come to you demanding a piece of your pie. Also I would just opt for the 25 year annuity as I'm not into complicating things (and adding angst to my life) playing the investment game. In 25 years I'll be 97 if I make it that far. I'll set things up so what doesn't get used after I'm gone will go into a fund for something like helping eliminate homelessness.

    I think most of these things are not transferrable.  Once you expire, so do the payments.  I could be wrong, though.

    ...yeah, Green Bay lost Lacy for the rest of the game. However after two consecutive Seattle touchdowns after halftinme, the defence finally stiffened up, and not only held Seattle on their next couple drives but forced two turnovers (an interception and a fumble late in the 4th quarter that iced the game)  Green Bay came back to score another touchdown along with a 2 point conversion to go up 24 - 17.and added an "insurance" field goal to extend the lead with only 2 minutes to go.

    Been a long time since the Packers have been able to beat the SeaSquawks Interesting that Seattle's Quarterback Wilson ran for almost twice as many yards than their running back Lynch did.  Green Bay's young defence which hasn't been that good as stopping the run game stepped up did a pretty good job of it tonight.

    Yes, but only if they are accompanied by a responsible cauliflower.

    The iPad, despite some of the more optimistic ads is not an ideal tool for nature photography.

    I hear if you cook grub right it tastes good

    That is true.  Unfortunately, there's no way to cook it right.

    ...the first one would work well for some of my cyberworld scenes. The couwbell one was pretty wild.

    MORE COWBELL!!!

     

    Agh Oakland came back in the last two minutes to win over hte Ravens.

    Carolina now 2 & 0 after beating the Texans.

    Green Bay & Seattle in about 45 min.  Time for a little payback.  Seems every year we've had to play them in their house, Finally tonight's contest is in Lambeau.

    Big upsets yesterday in the College ranks with both #2 Alabama and #6 USC going down in defeat. Ohio State managed to hold onto the #1 spot in spite of a very "meh" performance (throwing three interceptions) in their narrow defeat of Northern Illinois.

    Yeah, my Texans and Ravens both lost.. le sigh. And Romo's out for a while.. urgh. indecision

    No. Moar. KAUBELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL devil

  • Hello.  Taking a break from a Blender modelling project.

    Saw a post above about passwords.

    I think we've allowed password requirements to get WAY out of hand.  More and more sites require stupid stuff now, like "must be 10 characters, have at least 2 capitals, four numbers, one special character $ or % but not spaces or underscores, and not in any way make a word that appears in any of the ten most popular dictionaries or any version of the Bible in English, Latin, or Pig Latin.

    It's getting so ridiculous now that we can't even type our passwords in anymore without the help of a "password manager", and forget even attempting it with a smartphone, what with all the stupid pressing of "shift" that is required. 

    Why do we put up with this?  The fact is, nobody needs a high order of entropy.  Just keep things simple.  In fact, entropy can be a lot lower if we would just put a limit on how many times a password couuld be attempted within a certain amount of time and a second limit on how many total failures before locking it and requiring a password reset.  If you can't get your password right in 10 attempts, maybe, just maybe, you are not who you are.  Or maybe you just shouldn't be logging on today anyway...  surprise

    Okay, back to my Enderble rojectpay orfay an itbay, henthay offhay ootay edbay.  cheeky

    You are forgetting one thing.  Hackers these days aren't just trying one user account at a time.  They get ahold of data...which holds your username and password, along with multitudes of other users' data.  Even if the password is encrypted, once it's in their hands, they can take as long as they need to crack it.  And with the networks and high end computers at their disposal, it doesn't really take long to crack a simple password.  I'm talking seconds if that.  A strong password does make it difficult.  Sometimes more difficult than they think is worthwhile.  The first thing they do is pass the data through matching databases of common passwords.  You'd be surprised at how many people use these common passwords.  They have 20% (easily, probably more like 40%) of a list already cracked in a few seconds using these techniques.  And no matter how secure a site is...experience has shown us that it's not if, but when, a site will be breached.  Sony, Target, even the US Government, have all been breached.    This is the way most hacks are done these days.  A strong password that is also encrypted, or better, hashed, is a lot safer than an easy to remember password.  Using the same username and password on multiple sites makes the hackers even more happy.  Crack one, automatically have access to any others that are found at other sites.

    You didn't get my point, not at all.

    If a crook steals the DAZ website, including passwords, then they have the key to the kingdom anyway, and my C$mpL!C@7%d password choice won't do me any good anyway. 

    If they are using a brute force "try, retry, try again" method to log into the DAZ Store or forum with my userid or email, they should get stopped hard by limits exceeded, with a password reset required.  That problem is now solved.  Now, if they steal my email account, then they could reset many of my passwords at will anyway and I'm basically screwed no matter how k0mpl#X my password was.

    My point is that security does not necessarily scale with password hassle factor.

    I'll say it again:  Passwords are obsolete.  We need to stop the torture and find a new way!

    Also:  By REQUIRING ever more complexity, are we actually REDUCING "human entropy", and making it easier for a password to be calculated?
