The guys that run this company are a bit sketchy. They've been involved in other internet provider companies in Lawrence that never delivered what they promised. Most in Lawrence are a little leery of this deal.
Yeah but something has happened recently, maybe the spammers got a new tool or something because I have noticed a whole bunch of spam being posted on my reCAPTCHA protected sites. This just started in the last couple of days where previously I had none.

I've had the same thing on my Drupal page that uses ReCAPTCHA. Getting about 3-5 spam bot hits an hour trying to sign up for accounts. It started happening about 4 days ago.
As a chaser, emergency first responder, and media chaser... I can say that the problem is NOT the chasers but the "Chaser-chasers". The article references May 19th in Oklahoma where most commonly you could find local folks with their kids and dogs in the back of the family pickup truck taking pictures with their phones and point and shoots.
Regardless of what the masses in Oklahoma think... just because you have an iPhone app with radar does NOT classify you as a "chaser"!
On top of VORTEX2's caravan of 40+ vehicles, you have NBC/The Weather Channel following the VORTEX2 project that are not included with that count. You've also got the Discovery Channel's team of production vehicles coupled with the "Dominator" and TIV2, which both were captured passing miles worth of vehicles on a two lane highway in a no passing zone! Throw a few tour groups, emergency management, a couple media chasers in the mix... and you've got yourself a problem on the roadways. But those numbers nowhere add up to the amount of local yahoos who gathered up the family and put themselves in more harm than anything.
This situation defiantly makes me think twice of chasing in Oklahoma again.
Suppose that doppler radar is slow, and that it takes 5 seconds for it to do a 360 degree sweep. Is a faster system going to improve the generally rubbish weather forecasts of "it might rain today"? Exactly how much faster would you expect a 25' dish to rotate?

Fake Steve Jobs should have gotten the 'Unlimited Plan' from his hosting provider.
