Home movies? Photos? What about backups... I copy important files to DVD at least once a week and it usually takes several disks. I also happen to go to the US (from Canada) pretty much weekly for business. I frequently copy large files relating to my work onto a disk in order to transfer them from one location to the other. In fact, I haven't put copyrighted media onto a blank disk in at least two years, but I've probably gone through 4 or 5 spindle packs of 100 in that time. I thought it was a stupid idea when they first brought it up here in Canada and hasn't become less stupid over time.

Just place your finger on the scanner and you're in. Unless they cut off your finger, there's no way they can hack your password... Hmmmm, wait a sec, I suppose that could be considered a disadvantage.;-)
Seriously though, you can get a fingerprint reader for less than $50 and no more memorizingf passwords is needed.
