Just thinking about passwords earlier today. Seems we get all   
    these warnings to construct complicated pass words no one will   
    be able to guess.   
      
    Now, I'm wondering, who would spend a lot of time to guess my   
    password? If I had a lot of money, yes, but other than that?   
      
    Now we have the Heart bleed data problem. Before that the Target   
    data theft, and other data breeches. Seems the danger is not   
    password guessing, but outright theft.   
      
    So, just what is the danger from a simpler password, versus a   
    complicated password, when their not going to guess it, but to   
    steal it?   
      
    Now this is especially true on sites where all you want to do is   
    read something, like a magazine website. Why have to mix your   
    capital and small letters with at least one number? It's not the   
    NSA you know... and they have your number anyway.
