I used to have the same(quite secure) password everywhere, with minor variations. Then I decided to have a casual password for really nonserious sites(flash game sites or what not). In the meantime I developed a bit of a system. I have about 5 e-mail addresses, each with a different password. I use the same password for each account made using that particular e-mail(small differences if needed) and I have a pretty tight system regarding which type of site deserves which kind of account and which password. E.g. paypal obviously gets my most important mail, with a slightly modified pass. Stumbleupon gets my most casual of e-mails with the same casual account. If someone feels like cracking my stumbleupon account then kudos for him; he now has access to a gazillion insignificant site logins. http://slashdot.org/submission/1650802/How-should-I-handle-my-passwords# Don't know if it's the best way to go about it; I just really hate having to memorize a new pass for each place, and all these never-use-the-same-password warnings got to me. Never had anything broken into during those 4 years of having the exact same pass, though.

Journal Journal: I need a job.

I've been looking for a job since forever around here.
I eventually got sick of wasting paper on resumes so I joined up on every freelance site which was apparently full of employers, like www.vworker.com or www.freelancer.com and didn't really find anything aside from completely insignificant 2$ gigs that would take me.

Video tutorials were hard to come by back then. I have no idea how I got my hands on...Red Hat I think. I don't know. Never got around to using it. When trying to install I just messed up my entire computer,had to format everything and reinstall, and hoped no one would notice. My aunt, who lost all her work documents in the process, did. It was quite painful.

Well, they would have; they never found out. About 5 years ago, in high school, we installed Red Hat on one of the school computers which people rarely used for some reason(surely not because it was the only computer that banned newground *whistles*). It took them months to find out. We did have Linux on another school computer, but it was not in the main computer room; we had our own space for various activities and once Ubuntu came out and became all user friendly the teacher decided to use it.

Submission + - Japanese Scientist Creates Fake Meat From Feces (inhabitat.com) 1

An anonymous reader writes: Hold on to your hamburgers — Japanese scientist Mitsyuki Ikeda at the Environmental Assessment Center in Okayama has invented an artificial meat substitute made from human feces. The unseemly meal is made by extracting protein and lipids from “sewage mud”. The lipids are then combined with a reaction enhancer and whipped into “meat” in an exploder. You can see a video of the process at work here — just don't lose your lunch; it would make a great steak.
