There Is A Guy Who Became Famous, Honored And Admired For Publishing One Of The Most Used Useless Directives In The History Of Computing

For years many of us have been adhering to this Directive as the “best” method of developing and managing our passwords. We now know we have been wasting our time.

 

We were told the way to protect our accounts was to invent awkward new words rife with obscure characters, capital letters and numbers—and to change them regularly.

 

Most people found this too confusing to be practical but many of us tried our best to do it because we were told by people a lot smarter than we were that this was not just the best way to protect our important computer stuff but it was the only proven way to protect our important computer stuff.

 

Some of us ignored this Proven and Secure way like that guy in the Federal Government who used “Password” as his Password. I would hope that not too many of us were as silly as this guy but I would not bet on it.

 

Others of us tried to do what the Smarter Than Us People told us we had to do. We even persevered after several of the true adherents to the process were reported to have been hauled off to the Funny Farm in Straight Jackets.

 

A good example of what kind of word would come out of creating a password with Awkward Letters Rife with Obscure Characters and Capital Letters and Numbers (and change them often) is shown below…

Tr0ub4dor&3

Now there is a Password that will frustrate Snidley Hacker and send him to the Funny Farm if ever there was one!...Or will it?

 

Sadly, we now know that this Bullet Proof Password could be cracked by Snidley in 3 Days.

 

Ole Snidley has gotten very good at golf because he found he had a lot of time on his hands so he has been spending a lot of time on the links.

 

Is there a better way?

Ø Is there a way that does not need Awkward Letters?

Ø Is there a way that does not have to have Obscure Characters?

Ø Is there a way that does not need to have a mixture of Capital and Lower-Case Letters?

Ø Is there a way that does not need to have Numbers thrown in where you can’t remember where you threw them in?

Ø Is there a way that does not require you to change your password as soon as you finally get to the point where you can remember it?

Ø Is there a way that does not require you to have a different unable-to-be-remembered password for every account?

 

My Dear Reader, the answer is yes. You can now have a single password for all accounts. It will take a little longer to type out and about 60 seconds to memorize but it will keep you from having to order Funny Farm, USA return address stickers for your snail mail.

 

Are you ready? Here it is…

Your Password Should Be Made Up Of 4 Unrelated Words Typed Out As One Big Word

An example would be “correct horse battery staple” typed out as “correcthorsebatterystaple”.

 

In case you have forgotten how long it would have taken Snidley to figure out your old “Tr0ub4dor&3” password, I’ll tell you again…

He could crack it in 3 days

 

If Snidley had a computer program that made 1,000 guesses a second, it would take him 550 Years to figure out that your “correcthorsebatterystaple” password was “correcthorsebatterystaple”.

 

Now you can take up golf but don’t look for Snidley out there because he is going to be busy for a long time to come.

Does God Tweet?

There I was standing in the middle of the road being the Proverbial Deer in the Headlights.

 

I looked right at Twitter, Tweets and Twits and said to the entire world (or at least the .0000000000000000000000000000001% of the world that reads my Foolishness), “Twitter, Tweets and Twits who Tweet are all Silly!”

 

It was then that Deer Me was run over by all things Twitter.

 

I remember when Twitter had just been invented, created, concocted, spit out or by whatever means it was thrust upon us. I looked at what was happening and I was put off by statements in the news like, “Twitter Nation Thinks…”.

 

I said in response, “How can all those people all over everywhere “think” as a group? Have they been elected to speak as one with a single voice? Did they get together in one gigantic room and debate, analyze and look at evidence in order to vote and be able to speak with their one gigantic voice?”

 

Imagine that all of Twitter Nation was made up of 3 Twits. Imagine further (stay with me on this) one was a Carpenter in Wichita, another was a Symphony Conductor in Budapest and the third one was Whale Fisherman shipping out of a port on the east coast of Siberia. Imagine (are you still with me?) one day they all Tweeted and 2 of the 3 said that Columbus was wrong and the world was obviously flat. Would it actually be flat because Twitter Nation said it was?

 

Magnify my Silly example to the point where there are 880 Million Twits. One day 51% of them say that Columbus was wrong and the world was obviously flat. Would it actually be flat because Twitter Nation said it was?

 

I’m sure I have made my point brilliantly but I am also sure a whole bunch of you just thought to your collective selves about the subject of this bit of Foolishness, “Does God Tweet?”

 

Please allow me to brilliantly explain that also…

Ø My newspaper just told me that things are going from worst to awfully worst in Venezuela.

Ø The Vatican’s Silence about what has been going on in Venezuela has been deafening until it recently issued a statement wherein the Vatican said it was expressing, “Profound Concern”.

Ø The Catholic Bishops of Venezuela felt this was far from an adequate and they decided to bypass the Pope and appeal directly to God Himself when they Tweeted a Prayer, “to free our homeland from the claws of communism and socialism”.

 

We are not in the habit of Praying to Politicians or to Athletes or to Movie Stars (although I am not so sure that this does not happen a lot more than we realize).

 

No, when we pray, We Pray To God.

 

Now do you see why the Subject of this Silliness is, “Does God Tweet?” It was because the communication medium used by the Venezuelan Bishops to pray to God was Twitter?

 

Venezuela has enough on their plate without me getting involved. I do wish them all the luck in the world with a few miracles thrown in but I sure hope God is not actually sitting on a cloud up in heaven Tweeting.

 

If he is, please tell me. I get on my knees a lot when I communicate with Him. My knees are not in the same shape as they were in years past. If lying on my back and Tweeting would work just as well, I’m ready to give it a try.

Union Officials Have Been Stealing Unbelievable amounts Of Money From The United Auto Workers Union And The Watch Dogs Were Not Watching

They have finally been caught but not before a major participant in the long running scheme had died. Since he is dead, I guess it can’t be said he was “caught”.

 

In bullet point format here are the kinds of things that were going on for many years…

Ø The guy who is dead teamed up with his bargaining-table opponent at Fiat Chrysler.

Ø Federal Officials say they and other conspirators skimmed millions from the UAW National Training Center, a tax-exempt, Fiat Chrysler-funded entity that was supposed to help union automotive workers get job training.

Ø Bought Limited Edition Gold Montblanc Pens.

Ø Bought a $350,000 Ferrari.

Ø Installed a Swimming Pool, Outdoor Kitchen and a Spa at one of the Union Official’s homes.

Ø Paid off a relative’s Student Loans.

Ø Spent $425,000 at a swag company owned by the wife of one of the Union Officials.

Ø $70,000 was funneled to a Union Boss’ Wife’s photography business.

Ø Paid for a Union Boss’ Wife’s first-class plane tickets.

Ø Paid for a Union Boss’ Wife’s $12,400 four-night stay at a Beverly Hills Hotel.

Ø A Union Boss paid off a $262,000 mortgage on a townhouse he and his wife owned.

 

The Feds say these scams ran for six and a half years before being uncovered.

 

Since 2001 at least 47 of the UAW’s members, including officials at several locals, have pleaded guilty to corruption and embezzlement charges.

 

A Union Official said of the scandal, “The UAW has zero tolerance for corruption or wrongdoing of this kind at any level.”

 

I guess this has to be called, Long Term and Ongoing Zero Tolerance.

Lagniappe: Can’t you just hear the Stealing Guys’ Lawyer saying in court, “Your Honor, I find it hard to believe the Prosecuting Attorney just said what he just said. He actually said he was against showing compassion for that impoverished former student who, through no fault of his own, was left burdened with all of those Student Loans. Paying off those loans was as caring an act generosity as I have ever seen. If my client had not stolen this money, he could never have helped his relative in this manner. Your Honor, I am a bit surprised that you even allowed such mean accusations into your courtroom. However, I am willing to forget this lapse on your part in the hope that we can move on to more serious issues like why it is absolutely necessary for Montblanc Pens to be carried by any Union Negotiator as he approaches the Negotiation Table.”

To Be Perfectly Honest With You, I Don’t Get That Excited About These Things.

Please don’t add a Comment to this Blog Posting telling me you can’t believe I took the time to waste my time to put this Silliness out.

 

Actually I am a little bit ashamed to let it be known that I actually took the time to make up this list of some of the Commemorative Days we are silly enough to “celebrate” in the Good Ole USofA.

 

However, because I did waste my time in this manner, I now know (and you are about to know) that almost every day of the year appears to be designated as a day to Commemorate Something Or Other. Almost all days commemorate more than one thing and many days go into double digits listings of the things that that particular day “Celebrates”.

 

I wasted a lot of time figuring all this out and making up the list below. If you want to waste your time go to: https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/2017/01/

Imagine if you were on the committee that Designates Commemorative Days. You are at the water cooler talking with a fellow Commemorative Day Designation Associate…

Guy #1… “I can’t believe that we are paid to come up with these Silly Designations.”

Guy #2… “I must admit that I continue to be amazed at this whole process.”

Guy #1… “I’m beginning to get a very uneasy feeling that the public will stop paying attention to our designations.”

Guy #2… “What have you been smoking? Do you actually believe that anyone pays any attention to what we do? I would be willing to bet that we could designate a day honoring Specks of Dust and call it Speck of Dust Awareness Day and no one would ever know that we had declared such a day.”

Guy #1… “You forgot that we did declare such a day last year and, you are right, no one noticed our handiwork.”

Guy #2… “I can’t believe that we are paid to come up with these Silly Designations.”

Guy #1… “I must admit that I continue to be amazed at this whole process.”

 

Using January 2017 as a start I estimated that there are more than 1,300 Designated Celebration Days every year. (I counted up the number of days in January and multiplied by 12.) No, I did not take the time to count up the entire year. I was afraid you would think I was being silly.

Who Let The Dogs Out?

No One Told Me!

All of a sudden I am seeing dogs in places where dogs used to be not allowed. How do all these owners get the word all at the same time that Fido is now allowed to enter where Fidos used to fear to tread?

 

In the last few weeks I have seen dogs in the following Never Before Places...

Ø 2 in Walmart on the same day.

Ø Inside a Hyatt Regency.

Ø Jogging around and around my High School Track with his Master in tow (Yea, I know we are not supposed to say “Master”).

Ø In a Starbucks where the dog’s owner thought it was funny when the dog stood up on its hind legs and licked the counter where they placed your purchased finish product (Yea, I know I’m not supposed to say “Owner”).

Ø 2 in Lowes on the same day.

Ø On a Tour Bus.

Ø A whole bunch in the Ritz Carlton (I’ve already blogged about them).

None of them had Service Jackets on.

 

Maybe, since I don’t have a dog, I was not sent the memo.

 

Yea, I know…Dogs are people too.

Jimmy Olson To Perry White, “Which Headline Should I use?” Perry White To Jimmy Olson, “I’ve Told You A Thousand Times What Headline Configuration You Should Always Use! What’sTheMatterWithYou?”

Jimmy Olsen may be slow but you, my dear reader, are not…Or are you?

 

I’ll let you decide between the two headlines below. I have no doubt you will pick the one that CNN used…Or do I have doubt?

 

Headline #1:

MS-13 members: Trump makes the gang stronger.

Headline #2:

Nassau Police Official: We never ever ask immigration status of any victim or witness.

 

Can you guess which one CNN used? It’s Number 1, of course. Let’s let Perry White make it clear to you as he educates hapless Jimmy Olsen…

“Jimmy, we always want to lead with the dire outlook. The public needs to be kept on edge. We need them to worry. It’s good for the sale of our newspapers.”

MS-13 is awful. The major thrust of the article that started me on this tirade appears to be that the awful people in this gang are killing innocent people in very violent ways and are growing more powerful all the time.

 

Strangely enough, the article proposes that we should do nothing about them because doing something about them will make them stronger.

 

The thinking appears to be that, if we ignore them, they will continue to get more powerful and awful but they will get more powerful and awful at a slower pace.

 

You can read all about it or you can listen to the video. Whichever one you choose, you will see or hear this quote:

“I can say without any doubt ... we never, never ask any (immigration) status and we don't care, on victims and witnesses," said Detective Sgt. Michael Morino of Nassau County Police's gang investigation squad.”

 

Why is this not the Headline of this article? Why are we not telling Illegal Immigrants in the Headline (that’s all that many people read) that they should have no fear of deportation if they cooperate with the police?

 

Instead, we are told that everything is spiraling out of control and any attempt to do anything about it is hopeless because Witnesses and Victims are afraid to help the police protect them. It even implies they should be afraid of the police.

 

Since you may be thinking that I am kidding you, click on this link to the article and read all about it: http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/28/us/ms-13-gang-long-island-trump/index.html

Lagniappe: Starting at about 2:24 of the video there is shown a Crime Poster showing the faces of 18 MS-13 Members. This is good because they are letting the public know that it should be wary of these individuals who may harm them. Don’t get too excited about this “warning poster” because the faces of 18 MS-13 Members on the poster are smudged out so we can’t identify them. If you think I made this up, check the video out for yourself or just look at photo below.

One Banana Two Banana Three Banana Four

When I was a kid, I thought, if I ate those stringy things that hung on a banana after I peeled it, I Would Die.

 

Now my wife, who is always trying to find ways for me to live longer, has found out that the Banana Peel Itself Is Edible.

 

Not only won’t it kill you, it is actually good for you.

 

Next thing we know we will be told that, if we don’t eat the Banana Peels, We Will Experience A Premature Death and the next next thing we know they will be telling us that Eating Banana Peels just might be the secret to everlasting life.

 

While Banana Peels may make you live forever, there is no research that shows it has any effect on Old-Age Human Body Shrinkage. In the future we will forever be sitting around getting smaller and smaller while eating banana peels and looking more and more like raisins every day.

 

My mind’s eye (whatever that is) just pictured what I just described in the last paragraph. My advice to each of you is to start eating a whole lot of Unhealthy Foods and hopefully a nice quick heart attack will save you from becoming an Everlasting Raisin Person!

 

When you choose your Unhealthy Suicide Foods, don’t select bacon because bacon, which for 50 years has been officially one of the worst foods you could eat, has now been declared one of the healthiest foods you can eat… https://bacontoday.com/top-10-reasons-bacon-is-actually-healthy-for-you

It Is Looking Like The Appreciate Sign Has Come Up Lacking

On May 17, 2015 I wrote a blog entitled, “Why Do I Need To Be Polite? I'm Too Busy Taking Your Money!” I poked fun at the rudeness of some Gas Station Attendants but it just might be that I have hit on a very non-foolish point. Could it be that a return to politeness and courtesy is in order?

First the Blog Posting…

Why Do I Need To Be Polite? I'm Too Busy Taking Your Money!

Have you noticed how impolite/uncaring the Money Takers in Gas Stations are? You probably not. You are so used to me noticing things for you that you have become lazy and just depend on me to do your noticing for you.

I don't hold that against you. I'm glad I can help.

However, I have figured out why they are so impolite. It's those signs outside their stores that say…

"We Appreciate Your Business!"

It's a dual purpose sign. It makes you feel appreciated before you enter and it makes it unnecessary for the Money Taker to have to appreciate you. After all, it would be redundant for them to appreciate you after the sign has already appreciated you.

If you have not noticed this sign, look for it at your next opportunity. It is a big sign. It is almost as big as the EBT Sign.

The picture below is photographic evidence that, “How y’all doing today?” and “Y’all come back now!” might again be the thing to do.

I’m sitting here wondering how “y’all” sounds when spoken with a Middle Eastern Accent.

You Had Better Watch Out Because Your Social Security Administration Is Watching Out For You

In order to fill you with confidence, I will Bullet Point below the “Efficiency” of your Social Security Administration (SSA)…Or will I?

(My comments will be Yellow Highlighted)

 

This all started when I made a Simple Request to the SSA to change the Direct Deposit of my Social Security Pension from one bank account to another bank account in the same bank.

 

Did I heard you just say to your collective selves, “That sounds simple”. That’s what you might think but the word “simple” is nowhere to be found in the SSA Operational Manual…

 

I made my request to the SSA on April 28^, 2017.

Ø On July 7^th I received a letter dated July 5^th that informed me that my SSA has sprung into action.

Ø The letter also falsely stated that I made my request on June 27^th.
>In a future audit the SSA will be given a Gold Star because their Springing Into Action Letter was written a mere 8 days after the minion (me) submitted my request.
>The truth is their Springing Into Action Letter was written a whopping 68 days after little ole minion (me) submitted my request.

Ø The Springing Into Action Letter then goes on to say I will receive the first deposit into my new bank account on August 28^th.
>In a future audit the SSA will be given another Gold Star because I received my deposit to my new account a mere 54 days after the Springing Into Action Letter.
>The truth is I will get my first deposit a whopping 122 days after I made my Simple Request to the SSA.

 

It is at this point that the Springing Into Action Letter goes from Deceptive to Downright Bizarre…

Ø I am told of the many courses of action that are available to me If I Disagree with the Decision the SSA has made.
>Why would I disagree with the SSA agreeing to do what I asked it to do?

Ø They tell me they will review my case and look at any new facts that I have presented to them.
>I only have old facts. I just want them to put my money into my new account.

Ø They tell me my case will be reviewed by someone other than the person who originally decided my case.
>I have no problem with the old person (just might have been a bit slow). I just want them to put my money into my new account.

Ø They pledge to review the parts of the original decision that I think are wrong and correct any mistakes.
>I don’t object to the original decision to put money into my new account and there were no mistakes that I can recall (other than they might have been a bit slow in getting it done).

Ø Strangely, they also pledge to review those parts of their decision that I think were correct.
>Huh?

Ø They said they will make a decision that may or may not be in my favor.
>Does this mean they may decide not to put my money into my new and different account and I will be then required to open a different new and different account from the new and different account that I had previously decided upon?

Ø I will then have 60 days to appeal the decision they have made in regard to my request and the 60 days will start 5 days after they mailed this letter to me unless I can prove that I did not get their letter within 5 days of their letter having been mailed.
>Believe me, if they I just put my money into my new account, they are not going to hear a peep out of me. I am too confused to peep.

Ø They then tell me I had better have a good reason if I want to wait longer than 60 days to appeal.
>Does that sound like a threat to you?

Ø They finish up with a flurry of administrative minutiae…
>I can file an appeal with any SSA Office.
>The appeal must be in writing.
>The appeal must use their form “Request for Reconsideration” (SSA-561).
>I can find form SSA-561 online at www,socialsecurity.gov/online/.
> I can also get a form SSA-561 by calling and asking for one to be sent to me, making my request in writing by mail or coming into any office in the Good Ole USofA and asking for one.
>If I need help in filling out form SSA-561, I can be helped either in person in one of their offices or on the phone.

 

Several years ago I had a minor problem (at least I thought it was minor) with the SSA which ended up taking weeks to resolve. During these weeks I several times had to make phone calls to the SSA and wait on hold listening to the worst music the SSA could possibly find to inflict on me. Usually the waits were over an hour.

 

The issue got resolved quickly after I told them I had contacted my Congressman.

 

The “Contacting My Congressman” part was almost a lie because a minion at my congressman’s Office had already stiff-armed me and I had just about given up all hope for resolution to my Minor Problem

 

This time I’m just going to sit quietly and keep my fingers crossed.

 

My Mother would have made a Novena. Maybe that’s what I ought to do. Probably not, I bet Novenas are prohibited in some obscure SSA Regulation in a Sub-Section entitled, Unauthorized Interference with Governmental Confusion.

OK We All Know Our News Reporting Services Can’t Get The Facts Within Their Stories Right But You Would At Least Think They Could Get Their Headlines Right

I saw a Headline on the front page of my Newspaper a few days ago that read, “Crisis Deepens in Venezuela After Maduro Backers Storm Congress”.

Below the Headline was a Picture of three members of Venezuela’s National Assembly. Two of them are bleeding from their heads and had their own blood all over their clothes as a result of the Maduro Backers having stormed the Congress with guns, pipes and sticks.

Maduro is trying desperately to stop an election that will likely show the voters want him gone. Whether he goes gone after the vote is taken is another problem.

Are you laughing at our media’s incompetence along with me? Pretty funny, is it not?

What’s that you just said? You said you don’t see anything that is so inaccurate or is so funny? I can’t believe you sometimes. I would think you are not too smart, if it were not for the fact that you read my Foolishness…Or Is It? Blog Postings. The fact that you read my silliness shows that you are smart but, come on, you have to be more aware of what is going on around you than this!

We all are familiar with Venezuela’s ongoing disaster…Or are we?

Venezuela is, for all practical purposes, is a Failed State...

Ø Venezuela has 298.4 Billion Barrels of Oil Reserves. That’s more than any other country on earth. That’s 30.1 Billion Barrels more than second place Saudi Arabia.

Ø Venezuela used to be one of the more prosperous countries in South America.

Ø Venezuela’s Inflation is out of sight.

Ø The absolute basics of life are not available at all or are in extremely short supply.

Ø Venezuelans are running across neighboring country’s borders to get darn near anything and everything…Toothpaste, Toilet Paper, Food, etc.

Ø They are also fleeing into neighboring countries at a very high rate.

Ø Their Democracy is in a shambles having been replaced by a “Democratic” Dictatorship.

Ø In the past three months, almost 100 demonstrators have been killed.

OK, I’ll give you one more shot at what’s wrong with the Headline above. I’ll wait…………………………….

You still don’t see what’s wrong, or said more pointedly, what ought to be absolutely impossible?

It’s the two words, “Maduro Backers”. That can’t possibly be right! How could there be people that still back Maruro in a country that has been an ongoing disaster for so many years now?

There can’t possibly be any Supporters of Maduro left in the Entire Country…Or can there be?

I Have Uncovered A Government Operation That Has Confused Us For Years As We Drove Down The Interstate Highway System

We just got back from an 1,634 mile trip to and from the Dallas Area. There was hardly any turns in the road from here to there. It was boring. You know what happens when I get bored. My Foolish Mind starts to wander and, when that happens, I Notice Things.

 

Somewhere between here and there I uncovered a Vast Government Conspiracy to Slow Us Down, to Save Our Governmental Rulers a Lot of Money (so they can waste it elsewhere) and to Make New Money Off Of Us, all at the same time.

 

Read on to become educated and get ready to waste a lot of time writing your congressman full of righteous indignation (Google “Waste Your Time” and one of the examples given is, “Writing Your Congressman”).

 

Years ago I wrote one of my best Blog Postings about the little man who invented the Orange & White Roadside Construction Barrel… http://forii.blogspot.com/2009/09/we-are-going-to-have-to-crank-it-up.html.

 

Many times I have wondered about what must be a major problem and expense for our Governmental Rulers to store the billions of Construction Barrels they own when they are not in use. I had assumed they bought or rented warehouses all over the Good Ole USofA for storage. It must be a giant headache, a whopper of a logistical problem and a tremendous expenditure of taxpayer funds!

 

I now know that storage is not a headache nor a problem nor any expense at all because they don’t store them at all.

 

Read on you will be amazed at this fine example of Governmental Efficiency you will ever see that our rulers actually end up making money…

Ø The barrels are stored alongside our Interstate Highway System.
   

Ø This is why you are constantly coming across warning signs that say something like this, “Highway Construction Next 15 Miles. Fines Doubled When Workers Present”.

Ø Then, as you drive along (maybe at a lower speed) you do not see any workers but you do see Construction Barrels every 10 feet on both sides of the road.

Ø Sometimes, off to the side of the road, you will see a worker digging in a hole with 4 to 5 other workers holding up shovels watching the digging worker dig.
   

Ø Periodically you also see fellow travelers off to the side of the road being given tickets.
 

 

That’s the What You See and here is the Why You See It…

Ø The barrels are there to save storage money.

Ø Instead of buying or renting warehouses, our rulers store them on the side of our highways all over the Fruited Plain.

Ø Then when the State sees the need for increased revenue, they used to send out diggers, digger watchers and the Highway Patrol Cars to give out tickets.

Ø In order to save even more money, they eventually bought the Diggers and Digger Watchers mechanical figures from Disneyland.

Ø In recent years even more money is being saved because they only buy the diggers from Disneyland and they have started buying shovels from China that can stand up all by themselves.

 

And now you know… The Rest of the Story.
