[olug] [OT] Password study.

[Daniel Linder]

Here is a interesting writeup about some research done with some real
MySpace passwords.

It's interesting that the younger population seems to have a slight
advantage in the "complexity" of passwords, but if you know anything about
pop-culture there's a good chance you can guess their passwords.
