The point from the Dalai Lama's perspective? To defend his culture in the face of modern science. The point from the perspective of the rest of us? Analogies and recognizing analogous forms are a good way to expand one's mind. Gaining respe

That's just it -- many of these listings are misnomers, targeting the naive and/or desperate. Why beat that horse any more than it already has been if it's not even an accurate use of the term?

I think it's feasible to hit them without looking as is, with just the haptic feedback. And in the dark, they light up. But yes, full physical buttons will still have an advantage in some scenarios.

Why must it be stored in clear? Why not encrypted rather than hashed? That still allows password retrieval. Of course encrypted data is only as secure as the DB and keys/decryption code ...
