Comment Great Idea, wrong company (Score 1) 474

If a more reputable company for customer service rolling this out would probably be praised but it's comcast so everyone will hate on it. They pretty much have to make it opt out because no one ever reads anything so it would be 1 person per square mile opted in.

I for one would absolutely love having broadband wifi anywhere in my city. But again it's comcast so they will probably charge more for the service, pissing everyone off.

Comment Depends on what you use (Score 1) 276

If you are using the prime video, books, free shipping, then 99$ is completely reasonable, an exceptional deal actually. If you just use one or the other probably not. (isn't netflix alone like 90$ a year?)

I can see them scaring off the people they want (infrequent shippers) and keeping who they don't (low value, frequent shippers).

Also, I don't know why they stick with the yearly subscription. I can't imagine most people wouldn't shrug off a monthly increase from 6.50 to 8.25. 79$-99$ *seems* like a lot more. Actually at a monthly rate I think most people are bad enough at math they could get away with a much higher yearly rate in monthly payements.

I dunno, I'm not a marketing guy.

What drives me insane is that it's a large part of their demographic whining about the other 1/3rd of social programs going to poor people and social programs.

Pitiful.

Makes me want to join up with them and pull the plug on all of the programs because they will be hit the worst. There would be hoovertowns of broken sick seniors begging for a handout.

When is fuckedcompany.com coming back?

Or is it just too sad to see that the internet is basically ran by 1/1000th of the amount of manpower in the 90's with 1000X the power/capacity?

Comment Not one single action... (Score 4, Interesting) 330

..has been proposed or enacted by the federal government on bitcoin.

The problem is that this marketplace doesn't want a competing currency, they want a way to electronically move money around "anonymously".

The government is saying no to sidestepping financial regulations and other laws. You're right about one thing. I seemed to take much longer than expected.

Comment Re:The man was not shot for texting (Score 1) 1431

The "shooter" did exactly what a person should. Asked the guy to put it away (repeatedly) and then went to get an employee, when he came back the texter escalated the situation and it is completely unclear at this point what happened next; "someone" threw popcorn and that's the last detail we have aside from the wives hands being in the path of the bullet which could indicate she was trying to restrain the texter. We have no indication if there was/wasn't a physical assault involved.
