It is my understanding that the number of hops within the Tor network is normally a fixed value, somewhere around 3. Given the potential for compromise of entrance/exit nodes in various countries, perhaps allowing a larger number of hops or even a randomly determined number of hops between two values might give more probability of not being detected. Could you comment on the number of hops chosen and how they relate to the probability of anonymity in the Tor network assuming all other suggested configurations have been realized.

Although its a fairly old release, I would suggest KeyRing (http://gnukeyring.sourceforge.net/) for the Palm. It has several conduits (Windows, Java, JPilot, etc.) to allow synching with your system. I have used it for years. One password, to get into the database, gets you into your password list. It has a random password generator (numbers letters up/lower case characters) - you could never accuse me of using dictionary breakable passwords. Actually after you have used a randomly generated password a few times it almost becomes automatic. I have given up on trying to remember more than about 2 passwords anyway. LW
