That was so satisfying to watch

I was hoping they'd say that the incorrect version had made it so far as to be shown by the Vatican itself.

Interesting, though hard to overlook the possibility of bias, seeing as this is coming from cabletv.com

Maybe this is a case of premature optimization: but what if you ever need to log into a site from a public computer where you can't install your password manager.

I realized that without a password manager you're forced to choose between 1) having one super-secure password and 2) having multiple easy-to-remember passwords.

My compromise is this: have a password template. This is a string that changes in a predictable way based on the site. This could be something as silly as "password_${site_name}", making my gmail.com password "password_gmail" and my twitter password "password_twitter".

Obviously, the formula won't be terribly complex, so if I tell yo my gmail pass you can probably figure out my twitter pass given though time. But that doesn't bother me, since I'm mostly concerned about gawker-type incidents where my password is among thousands of others, in which case the bad guys will exploit the 90% of the passwords that do work instead of trying to reverse-engineer those 10% which don't.

Yes, but they really geeked-out with the Tengwar in the upper left.

I think that technophobes derive a great deal of their mistrust of technology from real-world blunders such as these (and fictional ones like Wargames) not realizing that "human error is normally the root cause for embarrassing failures", as the author points out.

Two sent to my zipcode, neither of them mine. I feel like a kid who just found out there is no santa.
