Yeah, I don't take constructive criticism well, either. But the parent's correct. The possessive form of "it" is a special case. See http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/difficulties/its.html or just Google "its vs. it's". Basically, "it's" *always* means "it is" or "it has", never possession. You meant "its".

Too Many Passwords
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Here's my solution: I keep one good password in my head. On a piece of paper (or two - no need to keep it private, you can write it in the sky if you want), I write a "hint" for each password I need to remember. For instance, my yahoo hint is "yahoo". My ebay hint is "ebay".
The actual password for each site is the first 8 chars of the SHA1 hash of my memorized password concatenated with the hint (sha1(passwordyahoo), sha1(passwordebay) etc).
I keep a gdesklet applet open on my desktop to generate passwords when needed. The SHA1 algorithm is freely available and already implemeted as libraries in many languages, so moving to a new computer or rebuilding the password generator is simple.
...when I could only drive, eat, smoke, drink, listen to the radio and talk on my phone at the same time. Now I can watch TV, too! Stay off the sidewalks, folks.

It's just that science generally changes in response to *evidence*. Religion changes in response to someone's agenda.
;)
And as we've just read, evidence also changes in response to someone's agenda
wow, thats pretty hot.. or are you still using fahrenheits?
Actually, it's rather cold. Assuming that a SI unit pedant would use Kelvin...
A true pedant would know that kelvins are measured in kelvins, not degrees.

Way to subvert democracy.
Congratulations on stifling free speech.
Kudos on the hypocrisy.
When I searched for "linux" all I got was:
Sorry, no results were found containing "linux"
Conspiracy or buggy? With MS there's really no way to tell.
and it was the best one on the CD.
Isn't that always the way with cover songs?
The website says it will cost somewhere between free and $10 per playback hour.
;)
Seeing as the unit as 80 playback hours, it'll probably cost less than $800.
