Finally found out the reason for lag on some of my VPN connections, yesterday.  Fiber cuts kill.

On an unrelated note, I just realized my [encrypted] password list has grown to over 300 lines of text.  Most of these passwords are apparently to random online stores, forums, blogs, and other places where I've had to enter a small amount of personal information.  How do people deal with all of these?

I'm not one to re-use any passwords, but it's getting to the point where I'm going to either 1) abuse the forget password feature for every site, and not bother recording any passwords 2) start re-using passwords for inconsequential sites, like blogs and forums 3) avoiding the use of sites that require a username and password for access.

I suppose the real solution would be some sort of centralized ID system.  OpenID... Microsoft Passport, why haven't these taken off?  Thoughts?
