Netflix Woes Mean a Gap In Shipments

Loopback writes "It appears that I'm not the only one waiting for my NetFlix movies. It seems they are being bitten in the rear by their home-grown proprietary inventory management system. 'Netflix has been facing shipping delays and outages in its distribution centers for the last two days and is fumbling to find a fix. The tab is roughly $1.8 million to $3.6 million in revenue a day.'"

    Not only is your statement illogical and not informative, it's an outright lie.

    Taken directly from the FAQ:

    Redundant -- Redundant posts are ones which add no new information, but instead take up space with repeating information either in the Slashdot post, the attached links, or lots of previous comments. For instance, some posters cut and paste otherwise legitimate comments in multiple places in the same discussion; the pasted versions are Redundant.

    In any case, you clearly haven't the slightest idea what the word "redundant" means. You should do some research before posting the next crap that comes out your ass.

    The only story here is Netflix honors it's obligations. I think very highly of Netflix for this. Now if I could only figure out why the went with M$oft for XBOX360 movies. They are free if you have the Roku player but to do the EXACT same thing with the Xbox 360 you have to PAY M$OFT for the gold online account.
