I'm wondering if he's managed to get his stealth-boat yet? Or did he realize that this would be a Bad Idea for someone who gets seasick at the drop of a hat? ;-)

Wow. That'd be funny if it weren't so sad.

But what the hell. I'll laugh anyway!

Again.

Yeah, this is one of those "fool me once" things. Hm. Actually, if the password was ever easy to guess by someone you know isn't fond of you, it's still "shame on me."

So, then, "Fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice, I'm a fucking moron."

What it lacks in lyrical flow it makes up for in accuracy.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. This is why you should change all passwords after a divorce. What is it with vindictive ex-wives anyway? I've heard of them messing with utilities, cable, mobile phones, and now domains?

i dont get it either. just because my ex and i arent together doesnt mean i dont wish for his happiness! i do. he's with a very nice woman (apparently) who treats our son well, and what more could a parent want, right?

he's just not a good spouse for me. and we both accepted that we didnt work well together any longer. geez, some bitches! (of course there's always the off chance that he totally deserved it.)

I've heard of some couples who are better friends than they ever were married people.

Of course, I've heard of some psychos, too. Takes all kinds, I guess.

I nearly made the cardinal mistake of marrying someone I didn't actually like. I'm very glad I escaped that one without actually having done the paperwork, and with both of us still alive.

Congratulations!


When this guy claimed you could have a one-wire phone cord (that worked), I should have declared it over right then and there.

Dad didn't require that the old dial phone be working after we dissected it. (Age 6 or under.) We made really nice drawings of the inside, though!

This jackass was trying to get the two-line phone to work, and was having problems. I looked at it, looked at the cord, and pointed out his problem. He got defensive at me and said that two wires were enough, one for each line!!! I told him what kind of a moron he was, and pointed out in vain the way I'd fixed the problem in installing my household's second line by checking the wires as they came out of the line into the house and into the master jack and noticing the outer pair wasn't hooked up (Dad hadn't seen the need 10 years prior as there was only ever going to be the one line). He refused to believe me, and things only went downhill from there.

I'm proud to say that I changed the root account password (on my laptop that we shared) *before* breaking up, and had never given him my own account's password.

Fuck "change passwords after you break up", don't tell them the frelling password in the first place. Then proceed to change all possible authentication methods on the account, post-breakup.

Also, "again"? That just makes this.

Unfortunately I've met far too many women who demand their boyfriend's/husband's passwords all in the name of "we shouldn't keep any secrets from each other..." and too many men who comply.

See it was my husband who demanded all my passwords and I was not allowed to have his.

And when we divorced, he hacked all my emails and changed all the passwords, after deleting all the incriminating emails against him. (Secret questions are bullshit when your spouse "knows" you.)

Secret questions can work against feral partners

Secret questions can work fine because they are only testing it against what you told them the first time.
They are not checking it against some secret file of everything-about-you.

Want good secret question security? LIE!
What was the name of your first pet? Gandalf.
Where did you go to school? Oxford.
What town did you grow up in? Smallville.

No-one 'knowing you' will guess those false answers.
And if you think you'll have trouble remembering them later, be someone else, give their answers and remember who.

I heard of one person who answered all such questions with what Clark Kent would have said. If no-one knows that, bullet-proof security against angry spouses, prying media, whatever.

I didn't come up with this idea but I think its way clever. Simple and effective.

Just a thought.
