I got one on sale for $150. Had some plans for it, but so far I've only only used it for it's primary purpose: neurofeedback during meditation.

I program for 33 years, do it five days a week and love it. There are so many areas and if you change one every five or so years it's not boring at all. I'm 56 if you're curious.

I just tried low intensity audio workout. Some feedback: I quit after 3 minutes not being able to imagine any of the movements, crunch being an exception. It may be a neat idea for gym junkies, but useless for beginners.

The clock is now closer to apocalyptic midnight, than at any time during the lifetime of vast majority of readers here, myself included. It is worse than during both the Caribbean crisis and early 80th.

Cudos to the author. Having joined a cooperative in Kiev in 1988, I can relate to this story, and I wish my son asked me what I was doing back then and posted it to HN!

It appears you are mistaken: a properly configured little snitch will protect you. You can configure APS (automatic profile switching) to pause and ask every time your mac connects to an unknown network -- not a device, as I imagined, but a
