When I visited the US for the first time, this cab driver in Austin found it tough to find the exact block of the residential area he was supposed to take me to. We had been looking around for some 10 minutes and the meter was ticking away, so I suggested that I'd pay him and get off. He said that he didn't want to leave me stranded since I was obviously new to the place, and wouldn't charge me extra. I thought that was very nice of him. I've heard a few stories of cabbies taking drunk passengers for a ride but I've had a good experience with them overall.
On a side note, I was at the Apple store in the Mall of America (MN) and I saw 3 macs (2 iMacs and 1 eMac) bought while I was there (40 minutes - getting iPod replaced).
If the same sequence of 10 bytes is used to XOR encrypt all passwords, it is *trivial* to find out what the sequence is, by looking at the encrypted output for different password values. Looks like all jump drives use the same sequence. Hence it is trivial to break. If you had used MD5 here, this would not be possible. Got it?

What a wonderful sampleset...
Wrong.
I have used a T-Mobile prepaid SIM in the US with my existing triband GSM phone. Very expensive, yes.
ok I was just needling you :-)
