From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you make it a policy for your corp. You will screw anyone with visual impairment.
We are totally unable to see the detail in these shitty little pics. So would be unable to use them as a password.
Fine if uou want to use them. And software should start supporting it. But please dont push corps to screw over disabled. Its hard enough dealing with them already. Nearly every big company forgets vision or hearing impairment when trying to manage customers and staff.
I don't think anyone takes this seriously. It's just fun to come up with the worst password policies.
Just imagine the error: "Sorry, your password could not be set. If you decide to include more than one animal, make sure they get along or include a zookeeper as well."
Fucking brilliant.
imagine taking this seriously
