When a company cannot secure the PI data it collects, then it should pay a fine for each person's data that it exposed.
Call the fine $120, which should be the low ball of credit monitoring for a year. (https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/pros-cons-credit-monitoring-services-1282.php)
This amount should be payable to each person to do with as they wished. (I have multiple credit monitoring plans being ran on me already this year. I'd rather have the cash.)

Even my little town in SW Virginia has live theater (http://www.bartertheatre.com/), Cost is fairly cheap although more that a movie ticket. Variety of shows is pretty good.
A few times a year the theater celebrates it name and allows admission via bartering for your show ticket.
The usage is tied to the visitor's account, not necessarily the home owner. Does lead to interesting questions though. Is a subscriber usage limited (capped) when using other peoples wifi, if not, what happens when the home owner logs into their own router as a visitor?
My neighbor in Fairfax was the only non-academic I've known who earned his living doing theoretical math -- for a certain 3 letter agency and later in the private sector.
I was thinking it was a take off from Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant:
"...And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints and the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in say: Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant. And walk out.
You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him.
And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization.
And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement."
I live in Abingdon, VA. Recently, BVU extended their fiber to the house (FTTH) into my neighborhood. I was the first to have it installed on my street.
10MB service @ $55 monthly after all taxes have been applied. They are competing against Comcast & Embarq (two of my previous ISPs) and Charter & Verizon, and lastly the City of Abingdon itself (both paid fiber and free wireless).
Since I live on the edge of town, I am just outside the Abingdon Wireless Mesh reach, so technically it is not available to me, nor are there any plans to make the eva fiber available any time soon.
Additionally, 3g from Verizon & others are available in the area, depending on which side of which mountain you are in.

The only thing on the Wiki list I might have to boycott is Dole. I think that's the brand for the bananas that I buy.
But only after paying settlements for the years of 'hollywood accounting' they've gotten away with.

The removable battery was the only reason I was looking at LG. I'll be buying two phones to replace the Samsung Notes that I have.
Personally, I think people who already own AAPL phones will justify the cost because they are already invested in the AAPL infrastructure.
Besides, in a penny wise/pound foolish way, they will not want to spend yet another $ 0.99 to repurchase that app.
Better be sure to turn off the 'return to me' function on some drones otherwise you'll think you're Wiley E Coyote in a RoadRunner episode.

My favorite was when I was labeled as part of a 'Supply Chain' by a fairly large defense contractor.

...and the money would have come around full circle. :)
until it isn't.
I wish I had mod points right now! Too funny!
I guess since the last game console I bought was a Magnavox Odyssey, this really doesn't affect me directly.
And I'm unique at 12,107!
To stay with the initial feline theme, substitute 'pussy' for 'jack-ass'.
Talk about planning... the government banned that in homes years ago...
Order your party supplies now.
Apparently there's *much* more stuff to know before guestimating.

/. really needs to have *some* posts able to take a +100 moderation or so. Yours would be one such post.

You'll rethink that when your neighbor takes out all of your non-wired electronics, or your house burns also after the neighbor amps up his toaster.
