I agree there should be more computer-readable content on the web... not just computer readable maps, but also say for language: computer readable dictionaries marked up with type of word (noun, verb, etc), and pronunciation (eg. IPA).
Even if we don't get speaking, translating robots any time soon it would be great for making some linguistics-educational helper apps. eg. show some possible english-spanish / spanish-english word translations or phrase translations based on spanish and english subtitles within a single dvd movie.
Ever tried searching for an online english dictionary marked up nicely in CSV or XML with "noun", "verb", etc.? I don't think there's much around.
If we had this stuff for a bunch of languages' dictionaries (definition and description both in the same language) and/or for translation dictionaries (ie. with a word and it's translation in another language in each entry) it would be a great foundation for work towards better automated translation.
Let's say the attacker could access 100% of accounts, If he can now access 100.01% of accounts, you've put 1000 more accounts at risk. Except those accounts don't exist. That's pretty preposterous, so try the math with 50% of accounts. Pretty sure it comes to less than 1000 people.
Also Smith will not be the same as Smith67. Smithers would have been a better example. As per the article it's only after 8 characters that the passwords truncate

I get your point, but you're exaggerating.
