My password hint is GdHYqCAIr0dyITlTmHMe4lOFxyE. I just enter gibberish.
One can measure the bit strength of a random password (6.5 bits per char). The hint "Momma's birthday" (in plain-text) is probably about 2 bits. Why be so stupid?
I like hearing the opinions of guys and gals who have been writing code and supporting users for 10+ years. I want their criticisms. They have earned the right to talk crap about certain ideas.
I only get pissy when someone who does not have experience yet presumes that I need their advice or need them to enlighten me about the latest fad programming technique or language. OK, look... Go do it in the real world for 10 years then come back and give me your opinion, until then, shut the hell up.
