There's nothing smart about it. He knows a bit of physics history and the age of his best friend as well as a very common pop culture reference. If I were to tell you that my password is 31412718161869 you could just remember that it's pi, e, phi (all cut off, not rounded) and 69. And I'm sure anyone who reads this is also smart enough (not you, cat, go away) to remember that. If that was a real password. And I was a person whose password they might eventually wanted to remember.
I have to argue in favour of John's smartness. To get that much from an isolated offhand _spoken_ mention of the password... he's definitely got to have some quick thinking skills. You probably underestimate your own head for numbers if you say anyone can do that. ;-) Not everyone can see those things _at once._ Speaking as someone who definitely can't. I could come up with them after staring at it _written_ for a while probably, but definitely not if someone just _told_ me, _once._
DrZaius3141 it’s smart to know how to break a part things into smaller groups and use patterns and meanings to help you remember it, most people just looking at that set of numbers wouldn’t have immediately broken it down to those groups and knows the exact references it is making, and that is supposedly how long John had to break down and memorize it, since Rodney only told him once
DrZaius3141 by the way pi is 3.1415926535, that’s usually the amount I memorized, guess no one could figure out your password since you meant for it to be pi but it actually isn’t
I remember reading at one point Sheperd is actually a genius like Carter and Rodney just he never realised his intelectual pontential because he never had much interest in science and maths
They mention pretty early on that John took and passed the Mensa test. He realised his intellectual potential plenty, he just didn't use it to become a huge scientist like Carter or Rodney.
That's something that makes me really like his character. Everybody thinks he's just some dumb military guy but he comes out and surprises everybody when he picks up on something he knows about. It always leads to a lot of funny banter between all the characters.

@PsychCrazy1 The question is, "What is six times nine?" (Normally 54, demonstrating that the universe is fundamentally flawed) (Although six times nine IS 42 in base 13 math) :)
I was laughing my ass off when I heard him saying that. I was only half watching it when it was on tv. I was using it as background while working on a project.
No, she knows when Rodney was born. They've been on a four-man team for what...three years at this point? She HAS to have SOME concept of Earth dating, too. I have no doubt Rodney has referred to those men as well. The only thing she is completely confused about is 42.
Well it's the future, dispite their rather old depiction in the show, computers may have advanced to the point where a shorter password would be super easy to brute force.
If it gets to that point I'd imagine two factor authentication would get a lot more popular. Though in some cases it looks like we're already heading in that direction.
There is nothing nerdish about Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, in fact the world could learn a lot from it; and as for John Sheppard, if you think he's a nerd I direct your attention to the number of attractive women he gets involved with throughout the series, the number of cool guns he fires and big explosions he causes, the number of times he flies the arse out of any ship or aircraft he gets into etc, etc; if that's a nerd you should want to be one too!
With the answer being mutually exclusive from the question. If both are known, the universe will instantly collapse and be replaced by something else (or something like that) - Gotta love Douglas Adam's writing!
The dumbest thing about McKay's password is that it is only numbers, also it is numbers that directly pertain to his ego. If he was on earth his stuff would be fast to hack into.
@SweetsformyTweety No. It's from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" The big computer Deep Thought said that 42 is the answer to life, the Universe, and everything.
I will pick the birth years of 3 of my favorite people and end it with the the Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything. Steve Rogers, Bruce Wayne, Herbert Edgar Wyndham and Me.
Um... now that we have the ultimate answer to the question of the universe and everything, what's the point of SGU(don't get me wrong, I really like it)? They're going after the big bang stuff too. Well, Rush. 42.
Casually talking to an alien like they would know human culture and history in and out. Isnt it weird how people in a completely different galaxy speak perfect English?

+andyt2k For a computer there is no difference. Then again it probably just treats them as number characters which makes it a bit different. Really all that matters is: 1. Make it difficult to guess (so random is best but at least don't make it your birthday or something. Mixing in symbols and numbers is good for this) 2. Don't give it out (eg. don't tell people or use it on sites you don't trust) 3. Have different layers of security (so a different password for your bank, email etc)
***** So far as the computer is concerned they're all numbers. Passwords arn't broken like that anyway it's prevented from happening by locking out after a few tries. They'd need to have the algrithm to encrypt the password and the encrypted password to try it on their own computer. If they have those it's only a matter of time, having letters and numbers would help then. For the average user no ones going to bother with this though. Using letters and numbers are good because it makes a password harder to guess.
There is the fact that he also put his own birth date in there. Newton and Einstein are two of the most well known scientists. He is saying he is even more important. And a physicist is a scientist who specializes in physics.
I'm not seeing where he said he was _more_ important. He seemed to be going in chronological order, which would mean he's saying he's _as_ important as them. Considering what he's been a part of in the show, he's actually got a good argument for that.
Oh man, the way that he just calmly explains 42 without missing a beat or even looking up from his computer... I AM SLAIN.
