It's hella easy to use. Portable and device/application independent.
Been using it for quite awhile.
Every site has a unique password based on a passphrase. You can have as many passphrases as you can remember. I tend to use a different passphrase based on the type of site.
It's pretty cool since I don't technically know the password to any site. So even I can't be compromised.

What the hell are you babbling about? I've been using MythTV with Comcast HDTV via Firewire and the commercial autoskip works great. I agree the content tends to be lacking but I'm stuck since Comcast is the only ISP who can get me decent speeds. I'm still pissed that I'm unable to get any thing other than cable Internet despite being located between two major tech hubs.

Submission + - Old islamic tile patterns show modern math insight
arbitraryaardvark writes: "Reuters reports Medieval Muslims made mega math marvel.
Tile patterns on middle eastern mosques display a kind of quasicrystalline effect that was unknown in the west until rediscovered by Penrose in the 1970s.
"Quasicrystalline patterns comprise a set of interlocking units whose pattern never repeats, even when extended infinitely in all directions, and possess a special form of symmetry."
It isn't known if the mosque designers understood the math behind the patterns.
