These files contained basic user and password information, resulting in 116,782 passwords being available for analysis. These files were from early 2009.
Here is a quick look at some of the information that Jimmy found about what THE MOST COMMON PASSWORDS ARE:

Nine Inch Nails’ lead singer Trent Reznor has not been shy in the past about airing his opinion about other musicians or the music industry in general. More often than not, he’s been the one willing to talk about the elephant in the room that everyone else ignores.
So it should come as no surprise to anyone – let alone Nine Inch Nails fans – when TRENT POSTED A MESSAGE ON THE OFFICIAL NINE INCH NAILS MESSAGE BOARD explaining exactly what happens when NIN goes on tour with regards to what they do to minimize ticket scalping. As part of Trent’s post, he includes a number of links to ticket scalping-related news articles that offer additional insight to the problem.
It’s refreshing to hear a band’s opinion of the whole mess. Here’s what Trent has to say about how the whole thing works:
You know why those weekday afternoon television judge shows are so popular? Because everybody likes to hear other people’s dirty laundry and then voice an opinion on it by yelling at the TV.
Of course, yelling at the TV doesn’t effect the outcome of the situation.
So if you are looking for a place where you can hear an argument and take a side, you’ll want to check out SIDETAKER.
If you are having an argument with someone and just can’t come to an amicable agreement, why not take your case to the Internet and have other people decide who is right and who is wrong.
Some of the questions that are posed are relatively benign:
Seth Simonds has compiled the NAPOLEON DYNAMITE GUIDE TO SOCIAL NETWORKING, because let’s face it — anyone who is a new user to Facebook, MySpace, bulletin board discussion groups, business networking events, speed dating, or any other forced social intermingling activity really needs a hand to break through the pre-established cliques and get away from being that awkward wallflower to become a true contributer to the situation.
And who knows, maybe you’ll meet someone and get a date out of it.
The first three rules are:
Take a look at Seth’s article for the other two examples and how Napoleon Dynamite applies to the points he is making.
The whole piece should really be subtitled, “EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT HOW TO SUCCEED IN SOCIAL NETWORKING I LEARNED FROM NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE”.
Don’t know if Seth will take my suggestion though. Maybe if I offer to draw him a liger, he’ll consider it.

Yet another sign that someone has too much time on their hands.
Check out this blog post from someone who has some in-depth analysis about why buttons on men’s clothing are left-over-right and buttons on women’s clothing is right-over-left. Apparently, the commonly-thought reasoning of “because women help men dress” isn’t necessarily the correct answer.
What other products are created in specific men/women versions that really have no basis to support the difference beyond marketing?
