Yep, what is this? 3 udpates in a row? Well now that I got Linux in working order, it's a lot easier and more convient to update the site. Now if only school work didn't get in the way....

Looks like Microsoft's Passport service isn't as secure as you'd hope it would be. The service which MS wants you to trust enough to put all your credit card and other personal info into, can be cracked by simply opening an email in Hotmail. This is why you don't put all your eggs in one basket, because someday, someone will crack it, and that will open up millions of people's data for the crackers to see. But you have to hand it to Microsoft for trying to control all our data. I wouldn't trust MS, would you?

And with some more MS bashing (hey, it just worked out this way today) Infoworld reports that XP is slower than Win2K. And it's not just slighly slower, it's significantly slower. So much for each version of an OS being faster and more efficient than the last one.
