For what it's worth, your message required a lot more attention from me than it would have, if you had used the word "number" rather than the strange glyph "#". I guess you were doing this with some sort of meta hum

Where are you from? I'm guessing that how you interpret the title might depend on your native language/dialect. Judging by the names of the authors, I'm guessing they're mostly Danish, or at least Scandinavian. As a nati

Given that they have exactly the same interface, that choice is really easy. You go with one until it turns out to be insufficient, and then you switch to the other and not a single line of code has to change, except at the point where yo

For the record, posts saying "title is bad" are very confusing if they don't include a copy of the title they're criticising. Later, when the title is changed to something better, they make no sense at all, and it peop

So it does, yes. I forgot about that, since I needed to write my own wrapper to paste both username and password (stored on separate lines) anyway. Thank you for the correction, I'll update my post.

A few differences: - There's no builtin GUI - Each entry is its own file - You control the storage format (meaning it's easy to store any kind of information, not just passwords) - It relies on GPG, so you need to set that up firs

Well, I should have been clear that the language was based on English, so it more or less ended up as "intentionally misspelt" English with the exception of the hundred word base dictionary. The difficulty in learning it lay, as y

I find that this is very much mindset thing. I once "learned" a toy language used for communication in a role playing game (Dym'Yak, of the Dimday Tribe, of Defias Brotherhood EU server in World of Warcraft if anybody cares).

It's not that we don't want to pay for software, and I don't think that's what OP meant when he used the word "nonfree". It's just that we need the four freedoms in case the software takes a sudden turn in

If that's the idea, that would make the choice of name directly malicious, rather than just an unfortunate oversight. I don't see how it would make qarioz's original point any less valid at all.

That's a fairly good argument to ignore any name collision; "oh, it only affects people that are not me". Given that the products are quite similar - both are virtual file systems after all - confusion is actually quite lik

For what its worth, Egan has written a few works that follow up on, and expand, the ideas presented in Permutation City. Most notably Diaspora and Schild's Ladder. So there's more to enjoy after you finish it :-)
