Yes I should know this, but it seems when you come back to deposit the address they give has changed.
Does this mean I can't deposit bitcoins to gox to the same wallet address?
Seems risky if someone saves it and tries to deposit to same address.
Are these addresses one time use or do they just change randomly or at specific intervals like every day, every few days or every few logins?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

At some point I read that, although the deposit address change , previous address remains yours and deposits are still linked to your account.

You are provided a new address on each deposit but they don't replace older addresses. Once assigned to your account a deposit address is good even if newer ones are also assigned. (i.e. if you used 100 different deposit addresses they are all assigned to your account and they are all still valid).

I would think that the database housing this is just getting bigger and bigger. I am sure the size is minimal but I am thinking what if something happens to the table due to some unforeseen glitch. Just saying,
