I bought some US dimes he cuts into 12 piece jigsaw puzzles, and they are incredible. I can't see the cuts without a magnifying glass.

Maybe it's safe to type your password into this random utility, and maybe it isn't. But, the reason I found this to be a neat link is that you can type in random passwords and see if other people have used that password. It's a way to see how unique a password is.

Go ahead. Try it. Just make up some passwords and see if any of the 6 million other people out there have come up with that same password for their account.

I thought I was clever with some of the passwords I use, but they are all used by someone else too on LinkedIn.

Some random actual passwords I've found just by typing shit in:
fluffy
tiger21
undertoad
monster
glatt1
glatt11
loveyou
fuckyou
skippy
washington
sillyboy
wilding
doglover
catlover
sugartits
suckme
asslips

Maybe I should come up with better passwords.

anh4lslohs isn't taken, and it's easy to remember:
A New Hope (4th Star Wars film) Luke Skywalker Lea Organa Han Solo

I heard that the most popular passwords used were, in order:
link
1234
12345
123456

I went to look up "gorram" to make sure I was using it in the proper context (I was). On the way, I found http://www.youswear.com/index.asp?language=Firefly. This is the "Firefly" page and there are many, many others. My favorite on this page is "Bun tyen-shung duh ee-dway-Ro", or for those of us who are not fluent in Firefly, "Stupid inbred stack of meat". LOL!

I Stumbled across that long ago. And looked at every one of them, just to make sure I was up on the current slang. And cultural references.

I cannot believe the below clip didn't make the list, so I humbly offer it up as #100

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it's getting some play in the news today...

I believe the link at the end of this post is safe for checking your computer for the malware.

Malware may knock thousands off Internet on Monday

WASHINGTON — The warnings about the Internet problem
have been splashed across Facebook and Google.
Internet service providers have sent notices, and the FBI set up a special website.

But hundreds of thousands of people around the world may still
lose their Internet service Monday unless they do a quick check
of their computers for malware that could have taken over their machines
more than a year ago.
<snip>
The problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam
to take control of more than 570,000 infected computers around the world.
When the FBI went in to take down the hackers late last year, agents realized
that if they turned off the malicious servers being used to control the computers,
all the victims would lose their Internet service.

In a highly unusual move, the FBI set up a safety net.
They brought in a private company to install two clean Internet servers to take over
for the malicious servers so that people would not suddenly lose their Internet.

But that temporary system will be shut down at 12:01 a.m. EDT Monday (0401 GMT), July 9.

To check whether a computer is infected,
users can visit a website run by the group brought in by the FBI:

Have you heard about the half n half 68 Camaro State Farm built? It's kinda awesome. Article mentions it having "massive air brakes", though...Wonder if they meant non-power brakes?

The driver's side of the car is a "proper" factory stock-looking restoration, the other half is a typical backyard-built hot rod.

It's an interesting read. Pictures, too.

[Rhianne]

They probably just mean it has vented discs (rotors).

And this guy had an interesting experience w/a hummingbird.

I've held a hummingbird in my hand too, but I didn't get pics. Prolly won't get another chance.
