Al Franken says something intelligent.

[werepossum]

Franken graduated cum laude from Harvard. And, no, he wasn't a child of privilege. He made it on his own.

Franken's always struck me as a highly intelligent, thoughtful guy who makes lots of good points. The fact that you and Monovillage think he's an idiot just shows what utter morons you two are.

You must think W is really smart, given that he has a Master's in Business Administration from Harvard, whereas Franken has only a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Personally Franken always struck me as not too bright, not really quick enough for comedy. But give the devil his due, he's had some ideas in his stolen Senate office.

Passwords are just as easily cracked and frankly assuming they are secure is a false sense of security. If someone wants to crack a password they will do it, e.g. NSA. Nothing is really "Safe".

Edit: I get what he is saying in that fingerprints are probably no safer, if not less safe than passwords which is a why a combination of the two would be better in the end but even that has its limits in terms of offering absolute air tight 100% security.

Really? The NSA can crack any password?

Tell me how long it takes John The Ripper to find !_BLUE_!21&APHRODE¥SIAC77a hashed with SHA512 and double salted.

Are you telling me you can commit that password to memory?:hmm:

What - you can't?

My passwords (plural) are more complex than that for any important site.

My passwords (plural) are more complex than that for any important site.

And do you have all of those passwords committed to memory?

yes.

I suspect the NSA has or is close to cracking whatever encryption you can throw at it today. They have spent significant amounts of money, manpower, and computing power on achieving such capability.

Al Franken's detractors are just butt-hurt that Franken can make fools out of the Republicans.

"Al Franken says something intelligent."

Might want to follow his lead....

I'd soooooo like to see Al Franken debate any Tea Party legislator. I really really would. And I really really feel that guys like Cruz, or for that matter ANY Repub giving serious thought about running for the presidency will never EVER mention Franken's name for fear of getting into some kind of verbal fisticuffs with him.

For one thing, these Repubs, especially those Tea Party obstructioninstas, they have only their rigid linear tracked ideology to rely on, whereas Franken has a wide berth, a plethora of options as it were, to attack and disassemble any of those stodgy stiffnecked ideologues' arguments for lowering taxes for the rich, deregulating into ashes any and all gov't laws that protect the public from predatory profiteers, and well, you get the gist.

It would be a sight to see.

Al Franken says a lot of intelligent things. You must not pay much attention to the man.

I find that counter-strike 1337 Sp34k to be handy for passwords.
