Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Did something similar on a USAF network. Received an error "no profanity allowed", or something like that, as an error.

Mentioned it to the VP of our network security. The error message no longer appears. Stuff about our goobermint.

But as a senior the detailed memory does get a bit weaker. I just went through it on one of my college accounts, everything screwed up/locked up because I forgot to note one letter was upper case rather than lower case.

Then they say “you can’t use that one because you used it before”.
What is wrong with swapping back and forth?

I would be ok with no passwords.

I've become my parent's tech support.

Trying to help my mom with there cable bill issues.

Me: What your password:

Mom: laksdjf8

Me: nope that's not it.

Mom: yes it is.

Me: spell it out for me.

Mom: laksdjf8

Me: Nope

Mom: yes it is

Me: well Comcast doesn't think it is

I try and give her a secure yet good password but nope she likes her own that she then can't remember.

Tech support with your parents is fun.......

A few weeks ago my brother and I were both at their house. My mom needed help and my brothers like or that easy I can fix it. I'm shaking my head. Yep, he tries to log in to her account for something and nope not the right password.

When we got new software for the dept computers, you had to take a tutorial to learn the system. The system asked for my name and refused to run unless I entered a name.
I entered:
Asshole.
Next page came up:
Hello and welcome, Asshole!
I thought this was hilarious, as it reported my progress on the tutorial to our IT chick. "Asshole has completed 40%" of the tutorial". An investigation ensued and asshole was identified as me. No one else shared my sense of humor, apparently.
