There could be truth in that number depending on what encryption algorithms are used. Some take significantly longer than others to apply. On a tangent, I trust Apple's competence but I have seen no information on the technicalities of

You'd be surprised by the number of servers that don't ask for password when you try to use sudo. They just assume that the actual owner issued the command and go straight to issuing the command as root. (Caveat: typically it has

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will try i3 in a few days -- once I know what ratpoison's and StumpWM's annoyances and strengths are. Update: I lied. i3 looked too good to wait for so I tried it, and it feels a lot more

I am overjoyed. Thank you :) I've set a reminder to switch to StumpWM 2 days from now. Emacs is something I've never tried though Lisp is amazing and that's reason enough to use it. So many fun toys, so little time...

Agreed. Yahoo actually tried that for a while, but I believe they stopped using it for that very reasons: people don't notice. http://security.yahoo.com/sign-seal-000000996.html

Cookies are not arbitrarily sent to any server. If Google has a separate subdomain they use for authentication (say login.google.com), they can instruct your browser to only send the relevant cookie to that subdomain.

Hmm that's actually a good point. I was going to suggest they should tie the picture to a browser rather than an account name, so they can only send the cookies to servers behind the login subdomain -- this would protect you from the a
