How feasible/quick is it to completely buy your own company off again?
I ask because the idea is funny in my head: Something that is valued at price x and has the capital (aka x moneys and then some) to pay for itself.

a) they don't believe it to be a good business model.
b) they don't want to put the effort into implementing such a system themselves.
c) they believe paywalls hurt the open web.
If google solves b, we will see a lot more websites putting up paywalls. How is that good for the open web?
I understand the article is trying to say "if Google doesn't do it, someone else will, and if that happens the open web will die even faster". But the assumption that someone will do it and that paywalls will become the standard at some point is still just that: an assumption. I don't think an assumption is good enough for a company that values the open web (assuming Google values the open web) to sacrifice part of it because it would be better than if someone else did it.
The only scenario I see this happening is if, upon the creation of a new master password, PasswordSafe encrypts the header (with the old password). This way, when the user enters their new password, PS uses it to decrypt the header, and then uses the old password (stored in the header) to decrypt the database. This would make it easy for someone with access to the old password and the database to simply decrypt it.
Is this how it works? I can't think of any other way it would be able to not re-encrypt the database with the new password. Plus the lingo/acronyms in the paper are going a bit over my head.

The art geek in me sees this 'exercise in eccentricity or futility' a rather interesting activity. Yes, he walked every street, but as he said it himself:
> Nothing is forever, though. I can only claim to have walked every street in this city at this moment in time. New streets are being built as I write.
He has only walked through every street in SF as they currently stand. His prize is ephemeral. Tomorrow, a coffee shop will open and he won't have seen it. Heck, coffee shops probably opened in the timespan it took for him to finish his journey.
And yet, despite not being able to say "I have seen everything in SF" for long, he can still say "I have seen everything in SF at the moment I saw them". While this may seem a little obvious or silly, it shows how every experience we ever have is unique to us.
I apologize for ending with a cliché but my only conclusion is that the we live for the journey, not for the destination. Because when we reach our destination - when we have finally seen every building in SF - we realize what we have seen is gone, and new things took their place.
