Just roll dice twice for each character and then use this table: First Roll 1 2 3 4 5 6 S 1 A B C D E F e 2 G H I J K L c 3 M N O P Q R o 4 S T U V W X n 5 Y Z 0 1 2 3 d 6 4 5 6 7 8 9 If you only want letters, roll the dice again when ever you get a digit. Each random letter adds 4.7 bits of entropy.

To create passwords of maximum strength for a given number of characters, you must use all available symbols. This is especially important for most Unix systems where passwords are limited to eight characters from the 7-bit ASCII printable character set. The following set of three tables allows you to create such a password.

Roll a die twice for each digit and then use the following table: First Roll 1 2 3 4 5 6 S 1 1 2 3 4 5 * e 2 6 7 8 9 0 * c 3 1 2 3 4 5 * o 4 6 7 8 9 0 * n 5 1 2 3 4 5 * d 6 6 7 8 9 0 * Roll the first die again when ever you get a *. Each random digit adds 3.3 bits of entropy. Note: You really don't need the table to use this method: Just roll a die until you get a number that isn't 6. Then roll the die again. If the second result is even, add 5 to the first number you got. Treat a ten as a zero.

Roll dice twice for each hex digit and then use the following table: First Roll 1 2 3 4 5 6 S 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 e 2 6 7 8 9 A B c 3 C D E F 0 1 o 4 2 3 4 5 6 7 n 5 8 9 A B C D d 6 E F * * * * There are also d16 dice marked 1 to 16, but you have to remember that 10 is A, 11 is B, 12 is C, 13 is D, 14 is E, 15 is F and 16 is 0. One source is:

Some computer systems insist that a special character be included in your password. Here is how to make them happy. Roll the dice twice and then use the following table: First Roll 1 2 3 4 5 6 S 1 ! @ # $ % ^ e 2 & * ( ) - = c 3 + [ ] { } \ o 4 | ' ; : ' " n 5 < > / ? . , d 6 ~ _ 3 5 7 9

The rendering of enumerators (the numbers or letters acting as list markers) is completely governed by the stylesheet, so either the browser can't find the stylesheet (try enabling the embed_stylesheet setting [--embed-stylesheet option]), or the browser can't understand it (try a recent Firefox, Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera, Safari, or even MSIE).

You need to do this if you want to insert one random character in your passphrase for added security, as mentioned in the main Diceware page. Here is how this is done. Pick the column in the table below that corresponds to the number of characters in the chosen word. Then roll one die and look up the number you get on the left hand side of the table. Insert the random character after the selected letter. Zero means put the random character at the beginning of the word.

The case is only adjusted in unregistered trial copies of the software, either after the line limit is reached, or after the 30 day trial has expired. The case is adjusted so that you can still evaluate the conversion has produced the right type of HTML, but since the text is now all in the wrong case and had letters substitutes the HTML is of little use to you.

Yes. Your Username must be 8-15 characters in length, start with a letter and NOT have any special characters - only letters and numbers.

QBasic can be found on the Win95 CD-ROM in the 'OTHER\OLDMSDOS' directory. All you have to do is copy QBASIC.EXE and QBASIC.HLP to your hard drive from the directory.

The dice has the face value of 3 , 4, 6, 8 and blanks. When the dice is tossed by the Challenger and it shows a 3 , 4, 6, or 8, the Defender picks one of his or her cards and forms a word of length no more than the dice number within the timeframe. If the Defender fails to form the word within the timeframe, he has to surrender one of his cards to the bottom of the draw deck.

There's frequently an itoa function. Better yet, write your own; it'll be good practice. On some implementations, (char *) x; will convert x to a string.

Yes. You can use any combination of letters or numbers, although you may also use only numbers or only letters if you so choose. Remember the code you select must be between 8 and 20 characters in length. Please do not use any punctuation, such as periods or commas.

You can read a brief explanation of how the dice work on our Lucky 6 page. The exact mathematical details are not available to players or members.

The notation "[0,1)" is common math notation for "zero to .9999999 etc" The Sun documents say this returns 0.0 to 1.0, but inspection of the source shows they are wrong. However, due to the inherent inaccuracies of floating point arithmetic, multiplying N by 0.999999 etc can result in an answer of N, not N * .999999 . So watch out when N is big.

There is only one ugly solution: You have to surround the complete flag argument by quotation marks ("[E=...]"). Notice: The argument to quote here is not the argument to the E-flag, it is the argument of the Apache config file parser, i.e., the third argument of the RewriteRule here. So you have to write "[E=any text with whitespaces]".

The standard module random implements a random number generator. Usage is simple: import random random.random()

rand() is used to generate a random number between its first value and its second value. Eg. var/num = rand(1,10) will set num to a random number between one and ten. prob() is used to check a probability out of 100; it will return 1 if the check is true, or 0 if the check is false. For example, prob(50) will have a 50% chance of returning 1 and a 50% chance of returning 0. prob(25) will have but a 25% chance of returning 1 and a 75% chance of returning 0.

d" stands for "development". "b" stands for "beta test". For example, version 3.0b12 is "the 12th beta test version of MT-NewsWatcher 3.0". In general, all development versions precede all beta versions. So, for example, version 3.0d17 is earlier than 3.0b15. Version 3.0 final has no letter, and is just plain "3.0". All of the development and beta versions are earlier (older) than version 3.0 final.

The numbers that appear on the bottom of the discs refer to the weight of the disc in grams. The letters denote the disc model. Go to Disc Abbreviations to translate the letters that appear on the bottom of our discs.
