Again, I entered the wrong password! But how many times have I exchanged a password with another?
If someone had bad intentions he could collect all my wrong passwords, associate them with me and then access my confidential data somewhere else. If a person like that existed I would be forced to change my password often so that it's password database is unusable as quickly as possible.
But someone like this doesn't exist. Is it?

Lately you may have heard about Virginia Tech's new supercomputer. It is built of a network of the impressive amount of 1100 Power Macs G5. Some photographies have been published.
