IT Joke (not everybody will get it)

SnowWhite&the7Dwarves would probably be accepted by corporate policy.

I'm disappointed the mandatory swapping of letters for numbers hasn't happened. I'd suggest something more like; 5n0wWh1t3&t4e7Dw4rv35.

What do you call a bird that sits on your shoulder saying "pieces of seven, pieces of seven"?

Answer: A parroty error.

not everyone is a l33t uber geek, some recognise this sort of obfuscation is redundant if the passphrase is long enough.

why do geeks confuse halloween with christmas?


because oct(31) = dec(25)

Can I be the first to admit that I had to Google that to find out why it was funny. I get it now.

Ok, so no spaces. Should i use capitals?

'My password for the database isnt working, and I know its right, as the guy next to me uses the same password...7 stars'

One of my favourite real experiences was at American Express....recieved call from the Bahrain office...

'Hi, is that operations'

'Yes, How can I help you?'

'My printer isnt working!'

'ok, which printer is that?'

'The one by the window'

well that depends on the rules your policy enforces, probably at least one.

i wouldnt recommend this exact password now either... but a long string of words is good

Windows Vista.

Now that's a proper I.T. joke.

Or nightmare. Depends on your point of view really.

Far too long to remember this. Handy helpful hint, write it on a post-it note and stick it on the side of your monitor. To make doubly sure of remembering it, write "my password" on the post-it.

Made me laugh anyway.

Bloke phones up to have his password reset, 'What should I use for the new one ?' he asks.

'Eight characters' is the reply.

'Okay, Snow White and the Dwarfs be okay ?' he replies.

Okay I didn't get it the first time.

Uncle Spielberg beat you to this - and by two months.

There's not enough characters in Information Technology these days.

You've not met our IT Director!!

 

[drew]

Didn't a variation of that win 'joke of the festival' at Edinburgh this year? Bloke said his dad was asked for an eight character password and then moaned that it wouldn't accept 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'.

I think nowadays most people understand that the word 'character' has different meanings.

yes

Yeah, me too. Gonna be wasted on a number of people though I guess.
