Dogs (and animals in general) make the world better. If it was just humans, this place would suck. I think my dog would enjoy a puppy pile, too. He LOVES puppies and little dogs, he's very protective and caring so I think the little ones bring out that "guardian" side of his personality.

The puppies are clearly seeking revenge for the Cruella De Vil-esque couch covering.

This says so much about Australia.

 In 1997, while on flight training with his handlers, Corporal Courage refused to cooperate and flew away, not being found for two days following an extensive search. He was charged with being AWL and reduced to the rank of Trooper. He was promoted back to Corporal in 1998.

Is there a reason that passwords with repeated characters seem to be rated as weaker? I could see rating 'aaaaaaa' and '12345678' as weak because someone trying to brute-force a password might try patterns like that first, but I don't see why, for example, 'hannah' would be significantly weaker than any other 6-character string. 

I agree with your logic, but your example is a name and therefore bad password. See Wikipedia on Dictionary attack:

Sure, but there are lots of other names in the image (charlie, daniel, dexter, rebecca, nicholas, nathan ...), none of which are represented as being as insecure as "hannah". The only passwords I see that are shown at a comparable size to "hannah" are ones with repeated characters like "booboo", "voodoo", "sexsex", "bubba", and various strings of a single letter or number.

I'll reply in a bit more detail later as I'm sitting in a doctor's waiting room atm but from a hash checking point of view double characters like the N in Hannah can be easier to crack.

only 3 total different letters?... daniel has 6 letters but each of them are unique?... maybe?

Yeah, that was my assumption, which is why I initially said passwords with repeated characters seemed to be rated as weaker.
