Around here at the PornJob, we do a fair amount of research into building very large, very scalable systems to deliver lots of media content to thousands of users. We’re always trying to solve the same problem, over and over, though:

Many Unix users are familiar with the system-wide english dictionary, known as /usr/dict/words. Nearly every word in /usr/dict/words has been registered by domain squatters, and most variants of the words are already in the brains of every automated password cracker on the planet.
