Dimension Called Lie

I finally got myself some time off from work and thought of catching a movie in that given time(space). My friends and I went over to watch a movie called " Invention of a lie". A rather straight forward movie, a place where there are no lies told, people just speak out what comes to their mind. This one guy, finally lies because of a really bad situation he is in.

This got me thinking. Look at the people in that world. Take a good look. They do not know what a lie is all about. Lying is like a really new thing!. Totally new as a concept, it goes to the extent that, in the movie, they do not know what a lie is neither do they know what to call a lie.

Tangentially, these people do not know what a lie is. Its a new concept for them. So, when we think that we have covered all the possible knowledge that is there to absorb... think again. We might not even know that there is an other dimension. And that dimension might not be understandable by the science of the present day.

The Password

The biggest problem arising from the 20th and 21th century account hacking methodology is that, the passwords that were used to handle those accounts were weak. Now to prevent this, stop it ,even before the "hack of an account" takes shape,how would one setup a password that does work?

The first thing you do is stop typing in your name. I am sure the sites themselves say that out loud. "You cannot use your name as password". So, that's one way. The next is to choose something, construct something in your mind that is really complicated, something with a lot of characters and Symbols. " How do I do this?", You ask. Well, for that get back to what all you learn't in your elementary school. THINK HARD.

On the other hand, Do you know the problem with having a password that has got lot of characters and symbols? Its always easy to break that with Brute Force, as it does not need any HUMAN-PSYCO-INTOSPECTION.

Have fun.
