Digg Dialogg: Sir Richard Branson
The voting period has ended and you picked the top questions that Arianna Huffington asked Sir Richard Branson on Virgin America’s inaugural flight from San Francisco to Orange County. Check out the interview below!
The top questions submitted and voted on by the Digg community are:
- When does money become immaterial? Having $1 million is different from being broke and I imagine having $10 million is different from $1 million. Is $1 billion significantly different in terms of lifestyle impact and implications than $250 million? (+503 diggs, submitted by dlprager)
- What is it like to be rich enough to wear naked babes as a clothing accessory? (+440 diggs, submitted by bratterscain)
- When does he believe an "average" middle class family will be able to take a trip into space? (+423 diggs, submitted by Chewie67)
- Your net worth is currently estimated in the billions. What is the most valuable thing in your life? (+353 diggs, submitted by Bisquick)
- Do you still smoke marijuana? If so, how often? If pot was legal, would there be Virgin Joints? (+351 diggs, submitted by braddaniels)
- Do you feel that with bands such as NIN and Radiohead releasing their own music without a label, that the traditional record label no longer has a place in the digital age? (+275 diggs, submitted by jads)
- Is Virgin Media Ever Going To Stop BitTorrent Throttling? (+253 diggs, submitted by TxnDigital)

- What historical figure would you most like to fistfight? (+228 diggs, submitted by xthpsgodx)

- Sturmur, on 04/25/2009, -1/+6Awesome capitalization.
- whytey, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2Plus its not like they made virgin media cuz they bought out blueyonder
- EnderMB, on 04/30/2009, -0/+2This comment astounds me. Do you even know where Sir Richard Branson is from?! The title gives it away. This is of grave importance to most UK Digg users and something the top man should be grilled on.
- inactive, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2@aeon if you'd ever been stuck with Virgin, they are the only cable broadband company here, you would feel the same way. They lie all over their website and if i don't encrypt my torrents i get 7 second pings to google, they also seam to not tolerate any uploading during some times of day (but don't tell you when).
- TheLD, on 05/05/2009, -0/+1The pings are low because you are using all your upload bandwidth for torrenting which runs at a higher priority than http, therefore sending requests takes longer. Try setting the maximum upload in your Bittorrent client to 5kbit lower than your maximum upstream and you should be ok.
- whytey, on 04/27/2009, -1/+2they don't, not mine anyway. It is just the caps they put on for a certain amount downloaded (doesn't apply to 50mb atm)
- aeon, on 04/25/2009, -13/+2This question is irrelevant to anyone outside of the US(or UK?)... if we've only got 10 questions, this is a waste of a question.
