Comment Re:Check you address here (Score 1) 203

Heh, my wife was asking about such a site, and like I explained to her: you really think that someone who has collected all this data is just handing it out for free? No, it's IMO just a small, probably outdated sample. Moreover, I wouldn't trust any site that allows me to check if I am on the list. This just confirms that such accounts are active or at least that someone cares enough about it to check it.

Comment Maybe a fraction of the actual list (and outdated) (Score 4, Interesting) 203

I guess this is just a small fraction of the actual list, because such a list has a value and why just handing it out for free? Releasing a fraction and seeing people going upset because they are on the list, and it's actually their password, however, increases the value of the actual list. Even more so if the actual list is more recent.

"I wish everyday that an alien race would land on this planet so we finally have a true comparison. Lets see how "fantastic" we are when that happens."

This would create a culture shock way more severe compared to "a bunch of diverse indian tribes that got their asses kicked by the Spanish". And hence those aliens you love so much would be worse than those humans you seem to hate so much.

Finally, you can have true compassion, too. If you just made an effort instead of hating here.

Comment Re:Still having misery with Firefox. (Score 1) 220

Once in a while I clean out all open tabs (like 2-3 times a month). Firefox is still not as stable as the latest version on 10.04, so there's definitely something going on. Some have said (here) that it's my hardware. The most likely suspect is that when I switched to Ubuntu 14.04 (and got a way less stable Fx and Thunderbird as a rewards) I also switched to AHCI. Maybe that's buggy on a Dell Vostro 200ST. So soon I am going to do a reinstall and switch AHCI off. The only other difference is that I now have a 1T hdd instead of 320G. However, since I have 8G memory I fail to see how a bad HDD / bad transfer to/from HDD can affect Fx in such a way that it crashes several times a week.
