Brilliant: password requirements by @NicvantSchip.
“Your password must contain at least 8 letters, a capital, a plot, a protagonist with good character development, a twist & a happy ending.”
And Dilbert via Thomas Kear:
“Starting today, passwords must contain letters, numbers, sign language and squirrel noises”

A long time fan of BgInfo on Windows, I was looking for a Mac OS X replacement.
And I found one: GeekTool is on steroids compared to BgInfo (:
Much more than I needed (plenty of add-on scripts too), but more than enough to get some simple text displayed.

Even though 15 years ago they proudly announced to have archived 20 years of usenet, it is virtually impossible to find usenet groups through groups.google.com, and they certainly do not archive the groups at forums.embarcadero.com (formerly forums.codegear.com and forums.borland.com).
So I found only a few sites that do index the Delphi groups (and they do index more than just the Delphi newsgroups), so if you know more, please let me know!
