weak passwords

Okay, I'm was enjoying this for a while because it felt like 'sci-fi' and anything 'sci-fi' I like regardless of how stupid it might be, in actuality. (Like the original Star Trek series, if you grok me.)
But when the daughter takes the guy home and immediately logs into her dad's system and knows his passwords because 'he uses birthdays', well, there's only so much bogus hollywood crapola I can stand.
The only one of my passwords anyone could crack if they really tried is the one I use HERE for imdb, because I don't care about this site, it's just a movie site. But I defy anyone to EVER crack one of my work-related or banking-related passwords. I guarantee no one could, and I'm close to 70 than to 60, so there goes another fallacy, that the 'senior citizens' are not high-tech savvy.
The dad character is a physicist, and if he was a real-world physicist I'd bet a thou that he would be using REALLY strong passwords (like I do, that NO one can guess) and furthermore he isn't writing down 'password hints' either.
Okay a minor point, but really I get quite annoyed at hollywood attempts to make KIDS smarter and more knowledgeable than the ADULTS. NOT TRUTH.
Sigh, I might as well go back to working on the android app I'm writing for my grandkids, since I won't be able to relax and watch the rest of this drivel.

Life is a journey not a destination. Fear nothing.

I gave up when the un-word "professionism" was uttered. just because you can Google something, it does not make it a conversational word, with a generally understood meaning. Is the some subtle obscure difference between professionALISM (which I think is what she meant) and professionISM?

Immediately thereafter the speaker commented on a subordinate's earrings and said ALOUD, make a note we're paying her too much.

If I'm working on your super secret project, you'd probably better pay me well and you probably shouldn't P me off either. At least not while I continue to have total access to your critical super secret project.

I'm just sayin'

I'm working on an Android App too.
