I'm emerging john* or at least it's thinking on it. |

I was talking about you laughing at my comment about the idiot in the |
23 |
chair who was using the command wrong. I have to admit, I was laughing |
24 |
at myself over here. lol I might add, I did try to get a man page or |
25 |
-h to help but it didn't. |

I've got my password down to something I can remember and isn't to bad |
28 |
to type. The password strength meter thingys, while not perfect either, |
29 |
do say it is a strong one. My looking at it says it is strong too. I |
30 |
just can't imagine anyone guessing it. It's so random and such that I |
31 |
think it would be very difficult to crack. Even if one could, it would |
32 |
take a fairly long time even with some pretty fast puters. It may not |
33 |
be NSA proof either but I suspect it would take even them a while. |
34 |
Still, I'd like to test this thing really well if I can find a tool that |
35 |
can really do it properly. We already know the meter sites aren't |
36 |
trustworthy. It seems cracklib isn't quite there either. Moving on. |

Thanks for the help. By the time I get around to using this thing, it |
39 |
may be easy to crack with some laser type puter or something. |
