Imagine all the energy wasted making those instruction sets, hardcoded crypto silicon and that part of the CPU... the power that part of the CPU wastes while not in use. For eternity, or atleast until the CPU breaks. You just made the situa

No but the register is two fields (name/pass) and no mail required! I think pseudonymity is important so you know that one name is the same person the next time. Creates persistence in every meaning of the word!
