I often use the same password for sites I don't really care about. This does not mean I use the same password on my work / banking / eBay / paypal accounts. This might explain why so many people used the same password for Gawker and SonyPic

Exactly. With my current gig, I have a 60 minutes train commute (Paris has relatively good public transportation, apart from the strikes ;) ). This allows me to read a lot of books. I have a hard time reading at home, with so many distracti

Hey. Sorry for the comment on the other thread ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2459123 ), I was thinking "damn, why didn't I submit this separately?", I thought it was a weird coincidence. I think it was linked on Twitter / Buzz a
