I used to have a Nokia phone (6320 IIRC, US model naming may be different) that lasted well over a week with one charge. Of course that dropped with the years, but it was still several days at the point when I replaced it.

I would imagine similar phones are readily available these days too.

Oh, did you want a phone with web browsing, GPS etc.? Those things drain a lot more power... Still, even for them, I imagine it would be possible to put some super-efficient batteries that would enable long-lasting battery life, for the price of merely a few dozens of thousands of dollars. :)

*raises hand*

I run three servers with Debian stable. One has some backports packages (that's my home server), but the other two are plain stable (remote hobby servers). One of those used to have PHP5 installed from some non-stable repository, but with Lenny I could get rid of the extra apt config line.

Of course, it depends what you want your server to do. For me, it's as simple as eg. Apache, MySQL and PHP. You could argue that no "real" server can be that simple, but .. well, it depends on your needs.

I don't think what I do is really that rare.

How does MITM help in stealing?

The service appears to provide in effect 5 pre-defined accounts (your own), between which you can transfer funds. You can't transfer funds anywhere else.

With a MITM attack, you could alter which account is the source and which is the destination, but you still can't get money transferred outside of those pre-defined accounts. There's potential for someone being a nuisance to you, but not stealing.

I probably wouldn't use this service even if my bank offered it, but it doesn't look like it's the big security hole regarding transfers many commenters seem to think it is.

The other issue is whether you'd want balance information etc. available in this manner. It can't be used directly to harm you either, but I guess it could be valuable to someone eg. for deciding on who or which account to target.

Finnish is spelled (mostly) phonetically, and while it's hard if not impossible to be objective being a native speaker, I don't find it at all boring or hideous. There's definite advantages as well, ie. when you read any word, you know how to pronounce it, even if you might not know what it means.
