1) I don't use a single program, I use a single format. I use different programs per platform, but all of them use Password Safe compatible databases. Sync is done via an encrypted cloud storage service.
2) Admittedly, this is a potential issue, but in my opinion there are two problems with this point. First, you trivialize it by saying "all you have to do is crack the keychain." With a strong enough passphrase that will not be easy at all. Second, you're changing the threat model under discussion. A compromised website with re-used passwords is one thing, someone coming directly after your locally stored data (e.g., your keychain) is another. In the first model, the attacker will not have access to your keyring, and therefore has no chance of cracking it. In the second model, if you're the direct target, precautions probably aren't going to matter.
3) Backups. The same encrypted storage service that handles my sync keeps automatic, versioned backups.

I agree 100% with the parent poster.
I used to have a 250cc Honda, and it got over 65mpg. Mind you, with my fat ass on it, it topped out at about 70mph, but for commuting, that was more than adequate.
A windshield, some storage (saddlebags or luggage), a rainsuit, and proper attire (clothing and gear-wise), and you're pretty much set.
"Another study found that people who had played violent video games were more likely to have aggressive attitudes"
And this tells us what? The way it's worded, I expect they're using it to argue that games cause violence. I bet what was actually found was that most if not all of the people studied were probably drawn to violent games BECAUSE they had aggressive attitudes. That to me is common sense. You really think someone with pacifistic tendancies would want anything to do with a violent game?
Actually, I bought a Virgin Webplayer to modify and use for this exact purpose.
Use it to track what you buy and what you use, and there are all kinds of things you could do with it, if you're willing to get in the habit of scanning everything -
* Automatically generate shopping lists to download to your PDA (or if you want to be really geeky, tie it in to netgrocer and let it automatically reorder whatever you're low on)
* Keep track of nutritional info for the meals you make
* Plan your menu for the week based on what food you have in the house
And you can still store recipies to boot!
Of course, like the rest of my projects, it's still not done yet...

Really, I think it's the nature of any creative work. See Graham Wallas' take on the creative process -

A friendly robot buddy? I hope they name it Floyd.
Here is a decent list.
I like CppUnit, but YMMV.
Universidad de Valladolid has a large archive of programming problems. The online judge allows C, C++, Java, and Pascal.

That sounds like a password some idiot would have on his luggage.

you might check out songprint.
It sounds like it will do what you're wanting, but the site looks kind of dead - the project may have been orphaned.
