It's hella easy to use. Portable and device/application independent.
Been using it for quite awhile.
Every site has a unique password based on a passphrase. You can have as many passphrases as you can remember. I tend to use a different passphrase based on the type of site.
It's pretty cool since I don't technically know the password to any site. So even I can't be compromised.

What the hell are you babbling about? I've been using MythTV with Comcast HDTV via Firewire and the commercial autoskip works great.

Submission + - Old islamic tile patterns show modern math insight
arbitraryaardvark writes: "Reuters reports Medieval Muslims made mega math marvel.
Tile patterns on middle eastern mosques display a kind of quasicrystalline effect that was unknown in the west until rediscovered by Penrose in the 1970s.
"Quasicrystalline patterns comprise a set of interlocking units whose pattern never repeats, even when extended infinitely in all directions, and possess a special form of symmetry."
It isn't known if the mosque designers understood the math behind the patterns.
