I get a little bit stressed and then there's no stopping me! UGH! I wish I could exorcise the demons inside me but some are still there!

Calm down Ana54, I think it was supposed to be a joke! Conspiracy theories are usually bunk, so it was supposed to be funny, I think.

Ragtime is a conspiracy. So is Christianity. But nothing else is. Get over it.

Everyone that uses an online bank account should be using a REALLY impossible password which will be impossible to guess. Password crackers use techniques called 'dictionary attacks' that scan for known words so:

Good passwords:
mkdcjcgbdfc, gndcjmj, 84nbeuuc, 3cx67c7vc

Bad passwords
password (this is not a joke), your user name, your pets name, any name in your family, the town where you live.

As for the secondary security questions, these exist for a reason and you should NEVER reveal information like this on an online forum.

My password is always "MYSECRET". Don't tell anyone, okay?

I think there's a renegade group in the government that's out to discredit conspiracy theorists. :twisted:

I have my own hybrid language I use for passwords - its a blend of 3 languages I speak plus a sprinkle of randomness. Far from truly random, but resistant to dictionary attacks. Considering that the geniuses at my bank set up that online system around a 4 digit numeric password, I think my passwords to digg and stumbleupon are fairly secure.

One university department I was affiliated with used to alternate between two very easy passwords (which were written on a slip of paper on the desk next to the mainframe terminal). Every month, the system required that the password be changed. When it prompted me for a new password once, I entered 'diaper' and wrote that on the slip of paper ... along with a note that it was time to change the password and the way they did business. They were not amused.

So I must conclude that yes, there is a conspiracy of dunces, and that they control large segments of our educational system.

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave those kids alone
Hey teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

Is there anybody out there....

What nonsense! Those groups are not renegade at all. A prime function of government is to keep the people confused and afraid. They need to discredit any theories that challenge their source of power, and create decoy conspiracy theories to occupy fringe elements.

Who knows... some conspiracy theories might actually be conspiracies themselves! 8O Someone, or some group, might be making all that stuff up to make us believe there is a conspiracy, in order to further their secret agenda... :twisted:

Who knows how deep the rabbit hole actually goes... :mrgreen:
