I may have mentioned here that I occasionally house sit for a friend who 
lives in Studio City.  (Some of you might recognize his name, but I'm 
not interested in name dropping.)  One of the many things he's done over 
the years is write a column for what was then a major computer magazine. 
  The password for his WiFi is[1] This_Is_A_Very_Long_Password, because 
he considers it about as hard for somebody to guess as anything else. 
Of course, the fact that he lives in an upscale neighborhood where 
somebody sitting in a car trying to hack into his system wouldn't get 
ignored might have something to do with it.

[1]Well, it's almost that.  I've modified it a tad just in case somebody 
on this list wanted to connect to Chaos Manor, but it's close enough to 
make the point.
