YesYNot stands for yes why not. When I was younger and was vacationing with a group of Dutch people, it struck me that this particular group was generally willing to try new things and 'go for it' even if they might not succeed. This username is a reminder to answer questions with the response "yes, why not?"
the number of combinations I need to try to crack most people's passwords is reduced to 26 + 26^6 + 10 or 3.1 * 10^8. You literally remove two orders of magnitude, or 99.9%, of possible combinations in order to add 36 more combinations. 36 is a pretty damn small number compared to 209,135,980,352. The total reduction by forcing those two roles is a factor of a thousand. Those rules literally make it a thousand times easier to crack most people's passwords.
Hummm.... Interesting math. I would have thought there is a multiplication of cases as in: 26 * 26^6 * 10 therefore not losing an order of magnitude, but also adding the possibility of mixing capital/lower case and numbers: (26 * 2 + 10)^8.
Most hackers wouldn't attempt all combinations anyway. They'd just go for Welcome1.

I fear I may have just inadvertently given out my bank login information.
My twins are my "two turtledoves."
Based on the maturity level of the board, you might want to clarify what you mean by 'my twins.'

Thank you for pointing that out! What if someone actually thought I meant children? That could have been embarrassing.
And now we know why the twins need the twins.
Poor Hubby, he doesn't get the spare.

No worries there. He got them back before I was even released for "normal activities" after the C-section. Turns out... Breast feeding just isn't one of my gifts. I would pump for an hour and get like two ounces. If the kids had to depend on me entirely for their nutritional needs, they would have starved to death. So after a month of waiting for something to change... I gave up and decided that formula isn't poison. So, the girls were back in biz before my six week post-op follow-up..
one of the shocks of becoming a parent was discovering how sweet human breast milk is. not metaphorically, but literally, as in sugar.
the linea nigra thing was also quite surprising: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linea_nigra

My bad. I had a brain fart. You are right. It should be multiplication. Still, it reduces the number of combinations thus making a brute force algorithm find matching passwords faster. Certainly, it's still not worth the frustration given that simply requiring longer passwords works exponentially better and is far less burdensome on end users.
Is that really you? You and your twins are adorable.
Tis me. You are very kind. It was our first photo after a VERY long afternoon and night (born at 1:30 AM). They are my little turtledoves.

Why does human breast milk give us the heebee-geebies? It seems like such a disgusting idea to taste human breast milk... But why is that weirder than drinking cow's milk? I tasted it... but my taste buds shut down because I couldn't get the ick-factor out of my mind. So I don't really recall the taste... which is a shame, because I won't likely have another chance.
lol, it's fun to freak people out by mentioning the taste of human milk. didn't drink much but had to try it, just because.
another weird fact: that stuff is alive. has white blood cells in it, fights germs, keeps way longer than store-bought cow milk at room temperature.
In the dead tongue of an ancient, savage but now extinct people, Ceffer was the expletive for ASSHOLE!
It indicates a temporary condition where a crab's shell has recently molted, and the new one has not calcified yet.
I didn't pick it. It picked me.
What does your screen name mean, and why did you pick it?

Why ick factor? Babies drink it.
If anything drinking a cow's raw body fluid is disgusting.
I've tasted my wife's milk on several occasions. Patrick is right, it's really sweet.
I picked my screen name a long time ago. To me, the character named Quigley embodied all the virtues and faults I strive for, so there you have it.

That was precisely my point. It makes no sense, at all. Yet, if someone handed me a glass of human breast milk alongside my cookies, I'd feel weird about drinking it and opt, instead, for cow's milk. But cow's milk is just as weird if not weirder. Other species aren't milk fed by animals outside their own species, yet we do it by choice.
This is pretty self explanatory, so fire away.
