Those passwords thingies scare me; always hearing about cases where they fucked innocent surfers.

Besides, if you think about how they work, they don't, really. If a hacker launches a brute force from 2,000 proxies (I get these all the time) letting it fail on the apache username doesn't eat up a whole lot more cpu than Pennywise or whatever.

Me, I never worry about it. I average about a million break in attempts a day it seems but it doesn't seem to cause any problems, and with those impossible to guess CCBill passwords there isn't a chance in hell of getting in.

Anybody running a brute force attack these days is a stupid moron, not tooo many sites let you choose your own password anymore.
