When I first got my Visor, a co-worker sent me an app he had been using to encrypt passwords and such. It was called Certicom SecureMemo. To set it up, you would drag your stylus in circles (elliptic curves), and it would generate a key based on this. Now, my question is, doesn't this imply that this technology is already implemented on Palm? Given, it's not OSS, but it is there.
Unfortunately, I think Certicom pulled the app from their site. Nice app.
Yes. I realize that, and believe me, I've tried to get some of these sites to change that behavior. Most of the time they just don't care. They figure it would cost them too much to have it fixed by the developer, or they think that just because you don't run IE you must be some sort of anti-MS zealot (or maybe I'm just paranoid).
I'd leave my user agent as Mozilla 5, but then I'd have to shut down Mozilla to set the user agent every time I suspected a descrimination problem. I suppose they should really add a user-agent selector in Mozilla.

I have to wonder how they get these stats. I mean, it would lend to common sense that they are using the user agent string on server statistics. The problem is, how many people have to spoof their user agent as MSIE in order to get sites to send them the right (unbroken) html? I know I do.
