Today, I had the fallout of the latest security policy at work. I had to change my password so that it included any three of the following.
lowercase letters
capital letters
numbers
symbols

I understand this as a natural consequence of it being easier to hack/crack/hijack people's computers today (witness this article on which passwords shouldn't be used,) but I can't shake the feeling that, when I'm forced to translate my password in L33tsp33k, the terrorists have won.
