Fucking hilarious. I have never understood why people actually get pissed off about shit like this. It's a voluntary forum, provided for you free of charge should you choose not to donate. If someone doesn't like something why don't they just fuck off instead of whining about it. Seriously, 16 pages about a policy change? Maybe three pages worth of useful information. Sad isn't it?

But still, that was fucking hilarious.

I have a certain distaste for the emoticons, and particularly despise the laughing/rolling dude when used in response to one's own statement, but.....

Holy fuck that was funny! "Nearly naked, body all ripped,....". Oh, fuck me. I'm still laughing but can no longer piss myself since I've emptied the tank.

One time I used an uncrackable 35+ character password. Though the purpose of it being so long was that it was the password to my school site where my Dad could check out my grades. It involves using all the letters on the keyboard up to the "seed" password, alternating between capital and lowercase letters, and if there are any numbers, converting them into pseudo-binary. This means that the relatively insecure password "password123456" would be "QwErTyUiOpqWeRtYuIoPaQwErTyUiOpAsQwErTyUiOpAsQwqWeRtYuIoQwErqWeRtYuIoPaSd011000111100000111111" Such a password is impossible to remember if you don't know the original password or the formula, requiring those who don't know it write down the password in long form, and since it's so long, it makes entering it off a piece of paper even more of a chore. Finally, since it has so many characters, it's so secure it's ridiculous! Yes, what this all goes to show you is that preventing your parents from seeing your grades will turn you into a security expert.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

Such passwords are easily cracked with a $2 length of iron pipe.

Don't give our beloved leader any ideas, for gawd's sake. I've only just got used to twelve characters...

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I've posted this one before, but..

[Image: 20110506.gif]
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
