I've enjoyed roboform as it works great (ahem on windows) and has nice encryption. The random password generator and information form auto filler are tools which I use almost every day. I was somewhat perturbed that they didn't support linux but then I found that it will install on wine if you open the installer from an IE browser so their is cross platform compatibility.

9 feet of vertical leap should be enough for anyone.

Microsoft made 16.37 billion dollars last year selling their server products and bundling everything else. That is a huge chunk of change. They have their finger in every pie and people don't care, they chomp down. Has this guy even looked at the cost of SQL 2008 Enterprise? $25,000 per processor can rake in the cash like none other (than Oracle). When it comes down to business, if MySQL could trade places on who was charging what, they would take it. There is no way Microsoft is giving away the keys to the castle. Too much money involved.

The government needs to make sure that they post actual data in a portable format like XML. The EPA publishes emissions data http://camddataandmaps.epa.gov/gdm/ in portable XML formats for scientist and the public to use the data as they need. For example, http://www.govtrack.us/ uses publicly published data to deliver a complete service. Having the data available as a feed or a series of published data files instead of some static website enables everyone else to see the details and deliver meaningful content.

'cause I can.
