Nice, but the password advice is already slightly behind the times. There was a paper doing the rounds recently (http://www.netmux.com/blog/cracking-12-character-above-passwords) where they test the time to crack different password strengths. The 'four random word' one can take up to 4 days, but in their example took just 5 and a half hour.

The only easy way to have a secure password is to use a password generator like lastpass (if you don't want to put too much effort in), or my choice KeepassX.
