Here is another version of 'marks' for Mac OS that aligns the arrows. It also works when 'ls' is aliased.

    function marks {
        \ls -l $MARKPATH | tail -n +2 | sed 's/  / /g' | cut -d' ' -f9- | awk -F ' -> ' '{printf "%-10s -> %s\n", $1, $2}'
    }

One more fix... if you have group names with spaces this will throw the field number off and you'll see the modification time preceding the mark name.

Adding '-n' to the ls command works around this by causing the group id to be printed instead of the group name and all works, i.e.: \ls -ln "$MARKPATH" | tail -n +2 | sed 's/ / /g' | cut -d' ' -f9- | awk -F ' -> ' '{printf "%-10s -> %s\n", $1, $2}'

We should start a new award for web sites with crap password security. Let's name it after Robert Morris (Senior) who essentially inventing password hashing.

A Morris Award would be a bit like a Darwin Award for people who've failed to learn anything about password security and in doing so have been exposed.

Recent Morris Award winners: LinkedIn, last.fm, eHarmony, Tuts+, ...

I think for impact there should be one grand winner each year. Otherwise there will soon be too many to count I'm afraid.

Maybe also an award for most silly password policy?

Would like to see some notion of how long data is retained. Period of time, til account deletion, forever, etc.

I agree with 'broken by design' in many cases, but first step is at least having a non-broken design.
