Comment Porch pirates (Score 1) 149

Considering that Amazon is probably one of the biggest "victims" of porch piracy it makes sense that they would want to put these scumbags on display. I welcome Ring's availability to expose these assholes. I live in Portland, OR where porch piracy by the homeless and worthless tweakers (not necessarily mutually exclusive) is a major issue. I think Aamzon/Ring should set up an easy way for you to upload videos of criminals actively committing a crime for everyone to see. We also need more people doing stuff like this: https://mashable.com/video/pac...

Because they make no money on the consoles, they are loss leaders. So if a bunch of people just ran out and bought the consoles with no intention of purchasing any games, Nintendo loses money. If they really wanted to monetize it they would have to do something similar to the Linksys WRT54G. Release a slightly higher-priced version with the ability to "hack" the OS.

I work for the government and nearly all outbound traffic from the over 12,000 employees in our agencies comes through one of two IPs, depending on which side of the country you are on. So yes, it is entirely feasible that there could be hundreds of people accessing these sites behind just a single IP.

Just another example of stodgy people trying to hold on to antiquated business models. I agree people should be compensated for their work. However, there is a plethora of available information out there now. I heavily research most everything I buy and already know what I want when I come in to the store. By the time I pick my product I'm more interested in the best price.
