Beastie Boys' anti-war mp3

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." - Hermann Goering, 1939

New Windows Worm goes after your bad passwords
Yeah, yours. Make sure yours is not on this list. These are some it tries:
[empty], xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, admin, Admin, password, Password,
1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, 123456, 1234567, 12345678, 123456789, 654321, 54321, 111, 000000, 00000000, 11111111, 88888888, pass, passwd, database, abcd, abc123, oracle, sybase, 123qwe, server, computer, Internet, super, 123asd, ihavenopass, godblessyou, enable, xp, 2002, 2003, 2600, 0, 110, 111111, 121212, 123123, 1234qwer, 123abc, 007, alpha, patrick, pat, administrator, root, sex, god, foobar, a, aaa, abc, test, test123, temp, temp123, win, pc, asdf, secret, qwer, yxcv, zxcv, home, xxx, owner, login, Login, pwd, pass, love, mypc, mypc123, admin123, pw123, mypass, mypass123, pw

These are also very common passwords according to sysadmins on slashdot: 6969, harley, 123456, golf, pussy, mustang, 1111, shadow, 1313, fish, 5150, 7777, qwerty, baseball, 2112, letmein, 12345678, 12345, password, mypassword, asdf, fdsa, [the user's username], [the user's username backwards], guitar, qwerty, starwars, [the user's first name], [the user's last name], [the user's initials], internet, love, 12345, mercedes, batman, superman, ilove[insert name of opposite sex], [username]420, computer.

Repeat: make sure yours is not on this list. A good password has both upper- and lower-case letters in it, along with some numbers or special characters. Longer is better (6-8 characters or longer) because it takes a computer longer to break them as the number of possibilities goes up. Your password should not be found in any dictionary in any language. Ideally, it would be more or less pronounceable which helps you remember it.
