"From the European champions in 1996 or 1972 you talk to this day." EURO 2012

The BLACK, RED & GOLD national team.

As many as five national player of the top ten German record players - Matthew, Klinsmann, Kohler, Beckenbauer, Haessler - are world and European champion. Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Podolski, wait: "You can put the whole course, the icing on the cake and become immortal with a title," said Joachim Low. A title would be the players them well to transfer !

Alone "chasing statistics', as Podolski said, do not want the" 100 generation ". "I want to hold hands at what times," Schweinsteiger, Podolski and Lahm said twice as World Cup bronze medalist, and even become second European Championship and lost to team-mate as lame just the second time a Champions League final. "A title would be well to transfer them, you have two or three times just failed.."

Podolski(27), Schweinsteiger (27)(92 missions against Denmark) and Lahm (28)(88 missions) belong to the inventory since 2004, so to speak, the national team. The still young trio completed in Poland and Ukraine already the fifth major tournament. These are also three players with which Joachim Loew began his six years as head coach at the most. The rise of the trio of the most capped player Lothar Matthäus pushes forward with 150 operations. The generation had grown up around the summer fairy tale favorites "Poldi and Schweini" benefited in 2004 from the second EM-disaster of the German national team in four years. 

100 for Generation Podolski 

Just before the 100 can get one - see Per Mertesacker. The 81-times capped international has had to after a lengthy injury at the European Championships give his place as a defender and just loses the connection to Poldi & Co. The 100 is advised for the professional Arsenal next season. Even ex-captain Michael Ballack had to make this bitter experience, when he first injured before the 2010 World Cup and then botched. With 98 international matches he missed the hundreds of razor-thin club. It is a great achievement when you reach the age of 27 years, 100 caps - Lukas Podolski !!

Gomez by criticism is always better

A picture is claimed, is worth a thousand words. The picture that moves for days the German mind is that of Mario Gomez - it shows a close-up face of the great scorers after his double strike against Holland. Mario Gomez is still happy - because he wants nothing more than to rejoice, with outstretched arms to get the stars from heaven and be happy of Mario, the Upper Swabian Unlinger know its a thousand times better than all the whiners of the world.

 Arguably the best team in the tournament

Germany carried their World Cup form into their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign as they finished with 10 wins from 10 matches. Two years ago in South Africa several rising stars came of age with midfielders Sami Khedira, Mesut Ozil, Thomas Mueller, who won the golden boot, and Manuel Neuer cementing their places as the Germans finished third.

Arguably the best team performance of the tournament. The so-called ‘group of death’ has showed no sign so far of sucking Germany anywhere near the precipice. Facing players from Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Real Madrid who are Champions League clubs all of them. It's a totally different level.

Despite, these are the public viewing sites in Berlin (Public Viewing Screens In Berlin) Can you just imagine that?? Talking about this to a German friend - She replies"you people have independence day and you rejoice being free but we never had such moments in life. Can you just imagine that??" I was astounded !! 

Strong Passwords... How well hidden is your needle ??

If every possible password is tried, sooner or later yours will be found. Every password you use can be thought of as a needle hiding in a haystack. After all searches of common passwords and dictionaries have failed, an attacker must resort to a “brute force” search – ultimately trying every possible combination of letters, numbers and then symbols until the combination you chose, is discovered.

If your password is a common word or phrase, the bad guys won't have any trouble guessing it. That's just a fact of life. If you've taken care to use a seemingly random collection of various types of characters, the time to crack it by brute force totally depends on the size of the "search space." Gibson Research's "Haystack Calculator" will analyze your password and estimate the time needed to crack it.

It's because cracking your password is like seeking a needle in a haystack. The bigger the haystack, the tougher the search.

How to Make Strong Passwords Stronger ?

The basic calculation is quite simple, and takes place entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Don't worry, you're not sending your passwords to Gibson Research! First, it sums the number of possible characters based on character sets you've used. The maximum would be 95 – 26 uppercase letters, 26 lowercase characters, 10 digits, and 33 symbols.

Each character in your password could be any of those characters, so the total number of possibilities starts with the number of available characters raised to the power of the password length. To that, the calculator adds the number of possibilities for each shorter length. So, for example, the search space for the password "42" is 110. That's 100 possible two-digit passwords plus 10 one-digit passwords.

Note that each character you add multiplies the size of the security space by the number of possible characters. Adding just one character to a password that includes all character types multiplies the size of the security space by almost 100.

How Long Would It Take ?

The calculator also estimates how long it would take to crack that password using three different scenarios, including a massive cracking array that can make one hundred trillion guesses per second. A 12-character password using all character types would take 1.74 centuries even under this most powerful scenario. Adding just three characters cranks that up to 1.49 million centuries.

According to the calculator, cracking a super-long but memorable insanely secure password like "JFK.1989.AskNotWhatYourCountryCanDoForYou!" would take 3.73 hundred billion trillion trillion trillion trillion centuries. Of course, the fact that this password is built from ordinary words might give the hacker a head start... but only if he knows that's the case.

The lesson is clear. If you already have a strong password, you can make it vastly harder to crack by padding it with some easy-to-remember character. Adding just three characters enlarges the search space by almost a million times. Gibson points out that the password "D0g....................." is technically stronger than "PrXyc.N(n4k77#L!eVdAfp9". Both contain all character types, but the first is one character longer.

In short, size really does matter when you're creating a password . Whatever password you come up with, you can improve its resistance to brute force attack by padding it with something easily remembered at the beginning, end, or both.

Finally How Big  Is Your Haystack ?? .......... and How Well Hidden Is Your Needle ??
