If you use all three sets (?set=any), plus backgrounds, that adds two additional choices, which brings us into the 100+ Million category. As a signal to review the Pubkey, that's probably enough. I could have made up more Random elements, but that'd take more time/money, which isn't worth it unless anyone outside of me actually wants it ;)

Sounds like it would be a pretty good "did I type my password correctly?" indicator.

You might be interested in Chroma Hash for that sort of purpose: http://mattt.github.com/Chroma-Hash/

It's colloquial in the same sense that it's ok to say "the best man for the job" "We were looking for the best for the job" .... and then go on to announce it's a woman. We don't have to be such prudes to be respectful of the other gender.

“The best man for the job” is an idiom. Even then, I don’t see any plausible advantage it has in most contexts over “the best person for the job”. This isn’t meant as prudery. Would you develop that argument? I’m curious why I’m being downvoted and would like a chance to engage.

Honestly? It boils down to me thinking to myself "I could see me saying 'man' in this case too" with the knowledge that I am one of the most outspoken champions of women equality and rights in most sittings I'm in.. so I find it overkill to make a fuss about this, esp. in such an understandable context.
