I too use Keepass for Linux, Windows and Android. The URL sync is already built-in so I use OwnCloud server that I run at home and sync with that with a key file that I keep locally and a password. I use OwnCloud's application password to keep it separate from my own account. Yes I already have SSL enabled on OwnCloud server. Syncing is pretty fast or use URL direct to open the file.

I don't trust password managers entirely in the cloud.

Why the fancy name of Microchip? I can bet it's just a regular 32 GB MicroSD flash drive. Like the ones we use in our cell phones. SanDisk did say their flash drives are Water proof, shock proof, x-ray proof and temperature proof. What, temperature proof? You mean the sun? lol

Good catch as I didn't know slashdot.org actually use Let's Encrypt SSL service. Figured it's a commercial website would use something like GoDaddy to provide high level of trust.

Obviously storing passwords in plain-text is frowned upon. To protect the database and backups you can enable encryption which is really easy to do in the SQL admin tool. This way everything is protected. I'd still use HASH and SALT for storing passwords.

Good thing I have a motherboard with dual BIOS so if one gets screwed up due to a bad flash I can flip the switch to the back up BIOS and then copy itself over to the corrupted BIOS.

I fail to see why this would be an anti-trust issue? If anything it FORCES Sprint to improve their network and compete for their customers.

Let them revamp NSA. It won't make a difference. What they will do is spill off some new top secret division that only top brass knows about. This won't change a thing.

Yep. It will happen in a few years. Gas isn't going to be around forever and China is now the biggest consumer so it will be a matter of time before gas shortages and prices going up. By then for those with electric cars will be happy.

My next car is going to be all electric so hopefully soon they will get this into production.

The article said they tested this 600 times so we don't know how many recharge / discharging cycles it can do before it degrades.

We still have choices of free OS to choose from.

They don't scare me.

Years ago the doctors suggested to get the implant too but I can hear ok most of the time.

What risks are associated with surgery? It used to be 50/50 chance which is why I didn't do it.

I too have to wear one and it's ungodly expensive. My argument is the fact I need them to have a normal life and work. So if people can get glasses for fairly low price and it's a item that people need then why can't insurance companies provide coverage too? Reason for that it's very specialized market and expensive.

Don't get one of those cheapie $49.95 hearing aids from the ads as they do not provide the proper specs to the type of hearing loss you have. In fact it'll make your hearing worse. It'll be like listening to iPod all day long.

See if they can offer a payment plan.

Good luck.
