I never ever use public computers for anything the least bit sensitive.

indeed. Most of my work I can do off-line as soon as I synced my e-
mail, blogs, etc.. but for this you need to get your own laptop
connected to the net . Also security is really a big issue, the
question is not if your passwords gets compromised, but when! I always
checked the date I last logged into my email and in the 3 month
traveling I had to change it five times. Worse was when they got the
password of the site I was maintaining and put it full of nasty
exploits at which point it was blacklisted.

I use SSL connections, which protects my passwords.
And a different password for every service and website.
