The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

There's absolutely nothing in my phone that the cops would be interested in.

Unless someone (including, the cops) gets a hold of your phone and plants some false "evidence" against you.  Remember, encryption prevents stuff from coming out, but also from going in.

That's why I use the same for every occasion. And I highly doubt anyone could figure it out without me telling. It only has meaning to me. Apart from online banking and email account. There it's just a series of numbers.

Apart from where it really matters. Such as banking or other official accounts. A forum password, I couldn't care less if someone were able to hack it. But even that is highly unlikely, since it involved numbers and letters that only have meaning to me. And no, it's not my birthday.

That's a terrible attitude to have. Get yourself a password manager (LastPass, 1Password, etc) and start generating yourself better passwords.

Why, my bank account has a different one as has my paypal account or my email for that matter. Do you think I care if someone were able to hack my password here or on any other forum I frequent?
