Password Gorilla works on just about every platform. Password files work across platforms. And it's GPL. I've been using it for years.

You wrote, "I'm an IT university student but my degree program focuses almost exclusively on Microsoft tools (Visual Studio, C#, ASP.NET, etc.) which is why I would like to expand my repertoire on my own."
That is a really damning comment on your university.
If I were selecting an IT course at a university, this would be one of the first filters I would apply.

Submission + - Windows Expert Sees the Light
An anonymous reader writes: Scott Finnie, computerworld's windows expert gives the final verdict to Windows, after 3 months of using a Mac. And the verdict is: "Sayonara".

From the article: "If you give the Mac three months, as I did, you won't go back either. The hardest part is paying for it — everything after that gets easier and easier. Perhaps fittingly, it took me the full three-month trial period to pay off my expensive MacBook Pro. But the darn thing is worth every penny." Scott Finnie is well known to / readers from earlier stories documenting his trials with Vista Betas, and more recently his displeasure of it.

Quantum Computer To Launch Next Week 224
judgecorp writes "D-Wave Systems of British Columbia is all set to demonstrate a 16-qubit quantum computer. Simple devices have been built in the lab before, and this is still a prototype, but it is a commercial project that aims to get quantum devices into computer rooms, solving tricky problems such as financial optimization. Most quantum computers have to be isolated from the outside world (look at them and they stop working). This one is an 'adiabatic' quantum computer — which means (in theory, says D-Wave) that it can live with thermal noise and give results without having to be isolated. There's a description of it here — and pretty pictures too."
