Calling it "4D printing" is quite misleading because the object is not changing during the print process but afterwards through stimuli. Maybe something like "3D printing with transformable materials" would better describe it. Guess "4D printing" just sounds cooler.

I'm a little tired of writing about passwords. But like taxes, email and pinkeye, they're not going away any time soon. "MargaretThatcheris110%Sexy"
...and now you can't unsee that. It's kind of like The Ring, pass it on, and you're safe.

Brute force attackers don't try short passwords, so very short passwords are safest.

You know, you might be right. Last time I looked at one of those files (way, way back in the L0phtcrack days), I don't remember seeing stuff < 4 characters.

People knowing different languages seem to have an advantage. For example, my passwords are chosen from compound Sanskrit words, and compound Kannada words; there are several ways of compounding words (all grammatically correct).

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

But are you allowed that many characters for the password?

It depends on the password
LlanbedrDC is ok but Llanfairpwllgwyngychgogerychrwyndrobwlllantisiliogogogoch wears out a lot of keyboard

Most of them aren't too bad to type really; Llanfairfechan, Capel Curig, Bethesda, Yr Wyddgrug.. you can even use other points too like Afon Dyfrdwy, Yr Hen Coed, Ty Bach

I prefer characters from books I've read. Pertinent to me, meaningless to others.

Just send me to an island - preferably one with miserable weather.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There are many + 1 books out there talking about the importance of code clarity. "Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand."

Why not? Aren't you* proud of something I can't read?
And there will always be someone out there who can't.

"Pfft, it it runs, it runs."
...and I'm sure that will still be your attitude when asked to maintain that code in 12 months. 
(or do just never stay in one place long enough to never have to eat your own dogfood).

I've recently seen how this complicated code arises. People keep just hacking away at the code until it works, with no upfront vision of where its going. The result is a pile of unmaintainable excrement.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, in a conference call with reporters and analysts, referred to the net layoffs of 1,100 employees in the first quarter of 2015 as part of a “remixing and pivoting” of the company. Would it help if they gave everyone a mix tape on their way out?

Interesting how the number of syllables used to describe the same event have increased over the years. 
- fired = 1
- layoff = 2
- downsizing = 3
- remixing and pivoting = 7
- acquisition driven rightsizing = 9

It also amazes me that CEOs are getting paid more and more for doing the same thing that by any other name is just getting rid of people. Don't take brains to fire people, just have to be cold hearted, driven by greed and have no conscious!
