sudo mv ~/Downloads/AppleUSBMultitouch.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

Just silly, they had already to insert the multiple providers, so, why not instead add some logic to that form so that you just need to type in your openid url/email? Code does the rest.
Agree if we want to [...]
This is a long overdue rant against ViaCTT, a service provided by the ( only ) Portuguese Post Office, CTT, and created by his geniousness Luís Nazaré.
