Yeah, you save a ton of dough by picking subscriptions very precisely by what you want to watch rather than lazily accepting you need 600 channels of reality TV so that you "have something to watch".

I did some figurin' about two years ago, and it looks like I still spend about $27 a month for sports and a few shows I particularly enjoy. And I feel like that's extravagant. ;^)

Just depends on where you like to put your money, I suppose.

Just today during my biweekly Hotmail check I realized that Hotmail's Junk folder is the only spam dump I check every time I'm on to ensure that I haven't missed something from someone I know. (Or something from someone I knew back when I regularly used Hotmail.) No spam filter filters more non-spam than Hotmail's junk.

Or something like that. In other news, I'm happy to see Slashdot is still doing well. ;^)
