Well, I made NO secret of it being a repost. As mentioned, I thought the situation called for it!
If indeed you believe that you have read ALL posts on the CP, then you could just have skipped my post when you saw the "Repost" subject line and moved along peacefully...

This annoys me too. I tell myself it's got to be driven by some misguided regulatory call, and not an actual belief that it makes your accounts more secure, or that it is overall worth it when you factor in the IT support costs, etc. It's part of my bullshit filter, true or not.

Current policy:
Password must be changed every 60 days.
It must include an upper and lower case letter, a digit and a special character.
Minimum password length is 15 characters.
Cannot resuse one of the last 10 passwords.
I have no issues with it - it is a condition of employement.
If you don't like it, you have the option to be employed elsewhere.

that would be then:
Password-1
Password-2
...
Password-9
Password-10
-> repeat
??

You missed the 15 character minimum...

This is basically what I do, doesn't everybody?

Not always. And, I already worked there when they introduced the "new" policy.

Yes, because the option of the administrators knowing their jobs isn't ever going to happen.

'Repost' is also a repost.
The irony is dee-licious!

My favourite is the security question where a valid answer is invalid!
Stupid Security: What colour was your first car?
Me: Blue
Stupid Security: Sorry, your answer must contain at least 6 characters.
Me: OK, my first car was "F-ck Off!" coloured! 
|

|

That is an odd security question since there are only about 10 expected possible answers.
Perfect example of an inconvenience introduced in the name of security that has no benefit.

More than ten, Shirley.
I had a Ford Ka whose colour was Karome, for example.

My favorite is when they force me to pick from a set of canned insecurity questions that I have no possible legitimate answer to.
ex "What is your favorite sports team" - "none! the tax swilling vermin sucking as the public teat should die in a fire for wasting my money on enormous new boondogles that despite their lies never actually earn out the amount of money they extorted from the govt."
"what is your favorite niece's name" - "not that it's any of your elephanting business; but unless they're not telling me something none of my siblings have children."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've got some sites I have to visit occasionally. Maybe 3, 4 times a year.
Of course, the passwords expire every 60 days.
So I have to create a new password every single time I go to those sites.
Sigh.

Is it just me who gets irritated by the fact that all google search results provide links which go via google? These links seem to pause for a couple of seconds (yeah I know....) before going to wherever it is I want them to go. It just seems to be getting noticeably slower.
|
|

|

That's because Google indexes the page hits, and also most likely adds the clicked link to your personal search history.

A funny clause selection (I lined up another one for you)

I quit Google for this reason; since a few weeks now it becomes very difficult to browse the results, especially if you have some Adblock-like extensions on your browser.
while (!working) {
Reboot();
