Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: ZoeB on 05 Jan 2017, 06:30 ---I'd like words with Station's colleagues. Starting with reminding them that Time spent in Reconnaissance is seldom wasted.
I want to make sure Corpse Witch isn't an avatar of a Big Bad. Then I want to try to understand what circumstances led to her being as she is, and what the degree of threat is of more like her being created every day.
Station's reaction seems to me to indicate emotional immaturity. To be expected, really. Having emissaries like Momo obviously fills a need, a gap in education they're quite aware of.
As for me - when I want random numbers, rather than pseudo-random, I just listen to cosmic background. One time pads of arbitrary length made easy. Akira's solution using dice towers is a convenient low tech substitute that is usually good enough.

I recommend using a source of entropy that other people probably can't look at.
See diceware.com for a convenient way to turn dice rolls into damn you autocorrect, "passport harasses" is not an acceptable substitute for "passphrases ".

Who talked about calling Leverage like 2 threads ago? Even if they don't Hardison the shit out of CW they are really good at persuading people into letting them into safes.
pwhodges:
So long as a password is not able to be guessed by any likely means, then randomness is not so important. What matters is sufficient length to make breaking it impractical. Of course, something based on words, like a passphrase, needs to be longer than a purely random password, but being so much easier to remember is far less likely to get written down.

This is the same AI that embarrassed Lt. Potter for doing her job and it was only after Hannelore's rebuke that he made any effort to correct his actions. He doesn't seem to have changed much since that time and I wonder if his outrage is personal or if he feels this way because he thinks it will please Hannelore.
Kugai:
Dang! OK, that's one option flushed down the toilet.
I wonder where this is gonna go now. I really would like to see Bubbles win out in this, but so far it's not looking good. Let's hope they don't have to go to Plan C.
