Comment My usual password is "password" (Score 1) 499

Most of the time, I don't care about the supposed security.
You have to create an account for some random forum to read a comment? You'll never probably log in again? Even if you go there once in a while, do I really care if someone discovers what my password is?
Do I have a secure and unique password for my bank account? Sure.
My Facebook account? Yes.
My Slashdot account? Maybe.
My somerandomforumthatmademeregistertoseeapic.com? "password". Or "Password", "password1", "Password1!", if the admin is paranoid.
Is it secure? No.
Who cares?
It's funny.  Laugh.

Submission + - Livejournal brought to its' knees by angry drunk! (valleywag.com)

A drunk employee kills all of the websites you care about! 365 Main, a datacenter on the edge of San Francisco's Financial District, is popular with Soma startups for its proximity and its state-of-the-art facilities. Or it used to be, anyway, until a power outage took down sites including Craigslist, Six Apart's TypePad and LiveJournal blogging sites, local listings site Yelp, and blog search engine Technorati. The cause? A source close to the company says:

"Someone came in shitfaced drunk, got angry, went berserk, and fucked up a lot of stuff. There's an outage on 40 or so racks at minimum."

Whoever it is, while we like how you roll in theory, in practice, we'd appreciate it if you laid off the servers running websites we actually use."
