Cool idea, but the main gripe I have with it is that the passwords it generates are clearly not made for remembering, but regenerating them takes multiple seconds.

The acknowledgements are well worth the read...

I may be dense, but I never found them funny or even interesting. Anyone care to explain?[+]

If you don't find it funny initially, then it is very unlikely that you will find it funny after it's been explained.

Nevertheless, I find it humorous because it is very unexpected, quite extreme, and seems to prove itself in a way (one of the ideas that it presents is that his coworkers don't give a shit about what he is doing. That he was able to get away with putting this into his acknowledgements seems to suggest there is some truth in that (of course, realistically, he wasn't going to be fired for it)).

Kind of a combination of surrealist humor and shock humor. Today this sort of humor may seem a bit tired, but keep in mind that this was published a few years before Fight Club.

"Jack 'n Zac" always kills me too. Such a great name for such an improbable drink.

I guess it's not my kind of humour, but at least I understand it better now. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

1st year CS @ ETH Zurich here

Intro to Programming => Eiffel (Betrand Meyer was our Prof)

Algorithms and Datastructures => Java (Pseudocode in PASCAL)

Parallel Processing => Java

Design of Digital Circuits => Verilog/MIPS Assembly

and in the next courses there will be some Haskell and more Java.

Only getting 504s at the moment. Will try again later..

I laugh at the censor fail. See selected field.

I'm not seeing it. What is the censor fail in line 66?

The picture was edited in the meantime. Previously the formula field (displaying content of current cell) was not grayed.
