    Its a classic quote from Bruce Schneier. I should have attributed it. I thought the crowd would get it.

  It is, and will remain impossible to deduce a victims password from such a small timing sample. There simply isn't enough data.

However, a similar attack might be possible here if not for the very small sample size.
