Yes, re-using two different passwords it better. Three is better than that. You can continue that argument until you end up with a password for each site. Then you'll probably want a password management service, unless you have perfect recall.
You seem to be describing the "surface area" of the impact after an exploit has occurred. I was trying to describe the attack surface area the would allow an exploit in the first place. This is limited to a single site for the manager scenario - the main password site. In the reuse scenario, you are impacted if any one site has an exploit against it (Twitter, Facebook, Slashdot, site XYZ, etc...) - thus much larger attack surface area.
The number of your accounts exposed after a successful attack is the same (assuming you reuse the password on all sites that would otherwise be kept in the management site). You're correct that the management site would give your attacker a nice convenient list of sites to target. I'm guessing without that the attacker would have a end-target in mind anyway. Perhaps they'd check all the mail services (GMail, Outlook, etc). Then move on to social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc). They might even check financial sites (Paypal, banks, etc).
Relying on a single re-used password is worse than relying on a single password service. If a re-used password is compromised, all of your services are compromised - the same result as if your password service is compromised. However, the "surface area" for attacking the re-used password is much larger. To compromise the re-used password, you only need to compromise one of the sites on which it is used, so the attacker has more sites to pick and choose from and more potential vulnerabilities.
Similarly, in Australia, we have the concept of "de facto" relationships. Two people in a committed relationship, living together for a minimum period of time, basically gain all of the rights and responsibilities of a married couple.

I think in many cases convenience will trump security
If you want convenience, you should check out PayPass or PayWave (one is Visa, the other Mastercard, I forget which). Here in Australia for purchases under $100 you can just tap your card on the payment terminal. No signature, no PIN, no buttons to press. It's also much faster than paying cash and/or getting change. If the purchase is $100 or over, then you tap and punch in your PIN, which is still pretty quick and no messing with cash.
I've been playing PC games one handed lately (nursing an infant with the other) and I've been choosing games that suit. I've got a mouse with the following buttons/actions: left, middle, right, thumb1, thumb2, wheelUp, wheelDown.
If you're working with your non-dominant hand then innately mouse-only turn based strategy, adventure or management games are going to be your friend. At least while you retrain your mouse usage. Things like Civilization, Hero Academy, SimCity and Monkey Island.
I've also found action RPG games with a small amount of keyboard commands are extremely playable if you remap the keys to your mouse's spare commands. I've been playing Diablo 3 with all six skills and health potions mapped to the mouse. It works really well and I only feel disadvantaged when I want to shift click to stand still and attack - which I'm one button shy of being able to map. With good character and skiill choice you could probably offload a 5-minute buff to the keyboard (numpad-enter or tab).
I haven't figured out how to play FPS games competitively yet, but binding move forward and one side-strafe to the mouse might get you started.
Our Epic Games web sites and forums were recently hacked. After some downtime, they're back up and running now.
The hackers may have obtained the email addresses and encrypted passwords of forum users. Plaintext passwords weren't revealed, but it's possible that those passwords could be obtained by a brute-force attack on the encrypted passwords. Therefore, we have reset all passwords. Your new password at the bottom of this message.
The Unreal Developer Network (UDN) hasn't been compromised. Thankfully, none of our web sites ask for, or store, credit card information or other financial data.
We're sorry for the inconvenience, and appreciate everyone's patience as we wrestle our servers back under control.
Those two aren't mutually exclusive. In fact they're pretty commonly used together.
Summary should read "a solar thermal plant rather than photovoltaic, using a molten salt system to store power as heat for times when the sun isn't shining".
Any published or public work is prior art, invalidating any later patent applications. This would prevent your example and is reasonably similar to how patents work now.
Any trade secret or unpublished work is fair game for patenting. This would be the scenario where two inventors in separate labs create something in parallel - the first to file wins (or if they choose to publish - prevent) the patent.
I'd rather see a warning label that warns about over use leading to eye problems (e.g. myopia). Although maybe that should go on the TV / monitor instead. At least that link is reasonably consistent. You could also label books and magazines!

Which Aussie Rules football field? They're all different sizes.
Have you seen the movie Avatar? If we all lived like the blue people, the world would be a better place.
Well it would certainly be a place. Whether or not it's better is subjective.
If you fight Disney in a copyright battle you will lose.
Unless you're Deadmau5 :-P
That was trademark.

Piracy on PC is presumedly higher on PC, while prices are also lower, when compared to consoles. How does that factor in to your hypothesis?
If it's a fake transmitter, then where is the signal coming from?
The SEA servers are in Singapore IIRC
Ah, but Slashdot was his starting point and you just led him to http://diydrones.com/ which he may not have known existed.
So tell me, how is it trolling if that's exactly the scenario the patent system was developed to cover?
You missed the point. They didn't invent WiFi. They invented a method to improve it. Then everyone started using their method.
South America seems like a bunch of tin pot dictators (Brazil excepted, of course).
Either you jest or you didn't read the summary very well.
Too late. The FBI are on their way. I think the TSA tipped them off.
My manager's always on my back for having too much leave up my sleeve. They want us to keep our accrued leave to a minimum.

Are you implying that YY/MM/DD is not easily human readable? I would suggest that's just because you've been trained to recognize other formats.
The problem with your idea is that everybody would know the martial art including the assailant.
I don't see why it would abolish prior art.
Any published or public work is prior art, invalidating any later patent applications. This would prevent your example and is reasonably similar to how patents work now.
Any trade secret or unpublished work is fair game for patenting. This would be the scenario where two inventors in separate labs create something in parallel - the first to file wins (or if they choose to publish - prevent) the patent.
