Hey, has anyone else gotten a message from LJ saying that their password is "too easy to guess"? What's up with THAT?

Mine's in a foreign language, I've never said it aloud or typed it as a non-password, and I've only encountered it once before. I really don't think it's too easy to guess at all.

Same here. My guess is they want an assortment of numbers and captial and lower case letters. I wrote a program that spits those out, but they aren't easy to remember.

If anyone wants the random-y, hard to remember type passwords.

Ooh! Random computer question for you! If you were going to teach someone with absolutely no experience to program, what language would you use? How would you go about it? Is there a good website with some basics or something?

It's for a story. Because I like to write about things I know absolutely nothing about.

I'd teach them C, which is pretty standard, and can be expanded on into C++ later. It might be a bit tricky for someone with no computer experience, but it's what's used.

Basics:

Now, for buzzwords. C is a procedural language, as opposed to an object oriented language, such as C++. The files with code in them are called source files beacuse they contain source code. In C, they are .c files, and .h files. Mostly .c. In order to turn the source code in to a binary or executable, you'll need a compiler. Let me know if you want more info/buzzwords, and I'll be glad to help.

Thank you, that's a great help. I'm probably going to need to bug you again later, 'cause, you know, stupid, but this gives me somewhere to start making a mess of things, anyway. *g*
