No. No. I'll say it again. No. The purpose of the salt is to vastly increase the difficulty of pre-computing the password hashes. If you use no salt -- an attacker who has your database can compare against precomputed hashes very, very easily. If you use the same salt for everything -- an attacker only needs one precomputed set of hashes. If you use a unique salt for every password -- an attacker has to have a separate set of hashes for every password he wishes to attack. Yes, if your database is compromised you have a serious problem. But then, if you're database security is infallible, why bother to encrypt at all? Defense in depth is key.

It is 56K, which takes about 12 seconds to load on a DoCoMo FOMA phone in Tokyo. YMMV. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that the theater cut was relatively small, and that most of their money came from the incidentals (popcorn, etc.).

A quick bit of googling and this seems to suggest that that is at least partially true. It looks like the theater does get more of a chunk then I initially thought, but still.... Among other things:

"...from a $10 movie ticket, only about $4 goes to the theater."
and
"We'd sell more popcorn," he said. "That's where we make our money."
