Comment It might out some of the people who rip off others (Score 1) 101

It is very annoying to watch video on you-tube only to figure out many of them are ripped off from someone else. These thieves alter the video so YouTube doesn't kill it by changing the speed, mirroring, and other methods to get it online. It tends to make it unwatchable.

Comment How about cell phone data? (Score 4, Informative) 163

I can get an unlimited data plan on my phone through my current provider, Cricket, for about $50/mo. If I want the ability to tether or hot-spot, it's an extra $10/month & I suddenly have a cap of 9 GB/mo. With newer phones, I can stream unlimited 4K video, as long as I keep it on the phone. If I want the ability to tether my laptop or tablet to the phone, I've suddenly got an expensive data cap. What gives?

Comment Coming from Alaska, I can see the allure of this (Score 1) 326

The potential consequences make me a little nervous though. Mosquitoes are a leading theory on what drives the caribou to migrate. The caribou will stay in one area until the mosquitos are more than they can take, then they start running. May not stop running for a couple of days. This, combined with the birds and bats others have mentioned, make me a little nervous about potential consequences.

Comment Poor business model to start with (Score 1) 574

Owners of commercial buildings, commercial aircraft, your condo association, and other things figured out long ago that a portion of the operating budget needs to be set aside from the beginning as maintenance/replacement. The building I'm currently in set up from the beginning that certain items, carpet, for instance, would be worn out in a number of years. I think they projected (planned on) 10 years. The owners just completed its 10-year refurbishment.
