I get 10GB/mo and it's $15 for every GB I go over. I'm a "giant pirate" and would usually go through that in an afternoon when I had comcrap. Oh well.

They always win 5 stars from the EFF for privacy, is this really as bad as it seems?
At any rate, no one is surprised that apple is taking a big 'ol BM on Beats Music :)
I don't know a line of code, know a bit of security, but am always interested in how things work and what kind of WiFi is being run in my neighborhood, so I consider myself a hacker.
Maybe next time.
I chuckled a little bit when he said hashes people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for... annd those dollars are printed on paper with old dead guys on it. Ahh the world this guy lives in must be an interesting one.
This show has lots of promise, and not just for IT industry folks. It's a great ribbing of the mentality of the giant tech companies who promise to make the world a better place--
"Hooli is making the world a better place through minimal messaging transport layers." -- laughed my ass off.
What did HN think of this show? Did you watch it? Will you keep watching every week?
It's very difficult to know that you're getting good product though. I'm in the North Bay and have almost always had "real" LSD at my disposal. It's the geek's wonder drug for sure --> http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/01/70015?...
I recommend everyone without serious mental illness try it, then continue to do it every year or every few years to clear out the cobwebs, as it were.

I had recently read an interview with Rob online where someone asked him about Digg and Reddit and the popularity of user chosen content. His answers seemed like the question really got under his skin, so I figured I'd fuck with him in public.
I got on the mic and asked him what he thought about the trend of user submitted content. He immediately snapped at me that someone had already asked a similar question and called me a noob. He rambled on about quality vs quantity and all that, my eyes glazed over and I waited to get my free T-Shirt. I still have it! That experience more or less cemented my opinion of 'ol Robbie. Just thought I'd mention this story..
I suppose it's worth it if they're not doing anything nasty with my data. I'd like to think that the Last.fm guy isn't up to any dirty tricks with Lumi... if you're skeptical about privacy concerns, this may not be for you, but I'm enjoying it so far. Also, I'm a former web news editor and still have a serious jones for news, so this was a perfect fit for me.
