Easy! Just print them out on little sticky notes and keep them under your keyboard like everyone else.
Now, you say that security is important. Always remember that if it wasn't you can always relocate the stickies to the sides of your monitor for easier access.
I wonder if the moderators who gave it a +1 are also guilty. For that matter, is this comment illegal since it may be construed as giving more weight (thus more visibility) to the original statement?
If he thinks it necessary to change his PGP key every week, I might imagine he hasn't heard of (or simply doesn't understand) the PGP Web of Trust.
Oh, and the main property of a good password is randomness and non-predictability. It doesn't really matter *how* securely he thinks he generated it, but if the output happens to be coincidentally weak you've not gained anything.
Oh? My password? It's five digits from pi, starting with the 49702th digit.

For this to really be worthwhile, we'd need to implement fingers:// (in the same spirit as https:// of course) since otherwise the finger interface can easily be hijacked in order to send phony key/checksum/signature information to match the phony package that was received.

Since you've quoted output from a debian system, you might be interested to know that debian has a finger-enabled developer database.
Look at: $ finger @db.debian.org

The library may not be the best choice (they may not have open jacks for your own computer), but an internet cafe should provide that, as will the 'laptop lanes' in your local airport.
Keep the battery in your boxer shorts. Not only will it keep nice and warm, but if it gets shot you certainly won't be concerned with a little extra toxicity.
I think you'll find they cost energy (power consumption), cause extra noise pollution (localized; fans running faster) and will contribute to shortened hardware lifespan.
My CPUs dropped by about 7degC when I stopped running d.net. Of course, that also meant I rapidly fell out of the top 100 charts:-(
Quick follow-up. There is one niggle with the monitor that I should mention. When viewing an entirely black screen (xlock -mode blank) there is a little white that shows through in the bottom corners. If I stare at the screen I can't detect this when running a normal desktop, even when using a mostly dark background, though.
Also, the way the pivot works on the base makes it a bit fiddly to get the cables connected since they're on the back of the monitor, in the middle. Given that I won't be changing video cables for quite some time it's not a problem for me, but if you're planning on moving the monitor around a lot it might get tiresome.
I bought a Planar PV174 at the end of December and so far, haven't looked back. Total price was under $700 including shipping.
Specs:
* 17.4" LCD. 1280x1024 resolution
* up to 75Hz analog, 60Hz DVI. (as it happens, when running analog I found it preferable to run at 70Hz to avoid some slight flickering)
* Built in speakers (I don't use them)
* Built in USB hub (don't use this either)
* Built in pivot (don't use this - the model is available in black or white with a pivot or clear/translucent red/trans blue without pivot)
Frankly, from the research I did at the time the specs were far better than anything else in the 17" market (not to mention the extra.4" is nice to have) and the price was comparable or a little cheaper.
I have a friend who uses the Planar 15" LCD on his Mac and is also very pleased with the way it performs.

If you want to learn a bit about programming for voice it shouldn't be too hard to put together something that works for the cost of hardware.
dist-upgrade does more flexible dependency checks and is often required when many of the dependencies change at the same time, such as upgrading the entire distribution.
I just bought a Radeon 7500. After compiling Xfree86 from CVS (to get it to work in the first place - the [78]500 cards are supported in CVS only at the moment) it gives me a framerate in glxgears that's about 1/10th of a nVidia TNT2 (that probably costs about 1/5 as much).
With a 50:1 performance/cost ratio going on between them, that may have been the last ATI I buy.

No TV tuner in this one. I know there is a Samsung model with a tuner built in (for around a $300 premium).
If the lack of tuner doesn't distract you, I wouldn't be averse to watching TV on this one. It handles streaming video / mpeg clips / etc just fine.

Such as Quake3, Unreal Tournament and Return to Castle Wolfenstein that *all* run under Linux.
nVidia's also have a decent frame rate under linux even though they have somewhat funky kernel drivers.
