These days I only accept prophecies of impending doom if they are backed by two-factor authentication.

Prime 400! That brings back memories; we only had a 350 (IIRC). 6 char userids. Our dept used person's initials and surname truncated to 6 chars - that generated some amusing / rude nicknames. Can't remember my password - it was ~40 years ago.

It was my first, and I typed it a lot - it's a bit like your first car / bike registration number. I remember that as well: XUD28J - a Honda CD175 that was reasonably knackered when I got it, and a whole load more knackered when I got rid of it ...

They can never hit anything
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.
--Winston Churchill

Any surprises in these numbers: per-cent of revenue spent on research of major-majors: [^] ? Spoiler: the number for Apple surprised me.
