The Netflix streaming library is poor. There is not much there worth watching, unless you are in the mood for an old movie, and then it is still a coin toss if you can find what you want. Expansion to the UK and Ireland will not bring profitability. Expanding content will.
I pay for the Nexflix streaming, but only because I have a 4 year old and the selection of content for that age range is decent and worth the price.
If you want profitability, look at tiered streaming pricing. Add a couple of bucks a month for a plan that has access to new content. Drop a couple of bucks a month for a tier that is only kid's programming. Create a low price tier with access only to the old stuff. Keeping your "one size fits none" model will continue your death spiral. It is pretty obvious that the "take it or leave it" approach you took has far too many choosing the "leave it" option.

Note to Dr. Bob -- your posts lose most of their enduring qualities when they contain material that may indeed be factual or relevant. Please skip all of that and get straight to subluxions.
Haven't we already learned this from such "discussion mediums" as the Slashdot comment section? Its easier to lie when you don't have to cover your body language, quivers in voice or other "give aways".
Is the only reason you tell the truth because you fear your "tells" show through?
The Slashdot comment section also has no personal connection with the other party if there is any other party represented as many posts are not directed to an individual. An anonymous community also has no personal investment in being caught in a lie, as does a lie on a one-to-one basis.
Email, IMs, and other communications with others known to you does contain personal investment for being caught in a lie.
As evidence I cite MegaMillions, Power Ball, and the continued existence of Vegas with its billion dollar hotel/casinos.
The common refrain "the lottery is a tax on those bad at math" is incorrect.
The correct euphemism is "the lottery is a tax on hopelessness". For $1, they get a sliver of hope they will change their lives and live happily ever after.
Go ahead and cite math. Go ahead and point out that lottery winners often blow through their winnings rather quickly and wind up no better than where they started. Go ahead and talk to yourself since logic and reason take a back seat to emotion with most people.
Expect an even worse version to be submitted in the US in the near future. It will almost certainly be presented as a way to 1) save the children, or 2) protect us from terrorists.
I hear that chiropractic care can eliminate the subluxation caused by reading Slashdot. Dr. Bob has open appointments this afternoon and can fit you in.
it's a simple matter to pour 20 feet of wrapped rebar and concrete on top.
Only if you designed the structure to bear the load of an additional 20 feet of rebar and concrete. Otherwise you will cause more destruction than the bomb you fear.
additional blast doors can easily protect against it.
That would seem to depend on your assumption of how much "additional" means and how you define easily. It isn't quite as simple as throwing up another door and a few baffles. You also seem to be under the impression that there is only one bomb instead of a successive strike of these things.
Either way, the facility is disrupted and funds/resources are being diverted when playing defense.
All underground complexes have entrances on the surface.
Won't bombing those entrances achieve much of the objective by essentially burying the underground target?
How long it will take the enemy to reconstruct the entrance to the target?
So by this logic we should just put crazy glue in the door locks of car bombers?
Why tell potential targets how big a bomb you have and how deep it will penetrate? They can just go deeper and pour more concrete. What happened to surprise?
Because moving a nuclear weapons development facility 20 feet deeper into the ground is a hell of a lot harder than getting off of your lazyboy to get another bag of Doritos.
Secondly, you assume the advertised capabilities of the bomb are correct?
A: The bomb will penetrate X feet of hardening.
B: We will build our new complex X+15 feet deep.
Millions of dollars and years of construction later
A: Oh yeah, that bomb will actually penetrate X+30 feet of hardening.
B: Oh shit.
It's kinda cute that you called someone else "brainwashed." (Or did the rest of us miss the mass gun registration, collection and previous-owner-killing event you refer to in "history?")
I did not ever call anyone brainwashed. The term used was "sadly mistaken".
Much like your challenge of citing of missing mass gun registration, collection and previous-owner killing events is sadly ignorant. Any population that has suffered has been disarmed. History is full of examples. You only missed it a) you are ignorant of the topic but choose to debate it anyway, b) because you are so entrenched in your position that you refuse to see the facts, or c) you are trolling.
Guns are used as the weapon in far more INTENTIONAL killings than cars are.
Citation needed.
Cars are exceptionally difficult to use as a defensive weapon. It is rare that an individual successfully defends themselves from a disparity of force situation with a Volvo.
Lies, Damn Lies, and Twisted Statistics anyone?
Your approach, defined.
Not specifically as such. However, the right to freedom of movement
That doesn't mean what you think it means. Freedom of movement guarantee you a driver's license. It means that if you choose to visit/relocate from Boston to Dallas, you are free to do so without having to ask the government for permission.
Actually, no. The mention of a "militia" in the Second Amendment required two things: #1 you REGISTERED as a member of the local militia, #2 you TRAINED as a member of the local militia. You had an organizational structure.
Incorrect. During the period which the term "militia" was used, the militia was all able bodied men in a defined age range. Well regulated, again in the language of the period, meant each man was to show up armed and with sufficient gunpowder and ammunition. There was no membership card, and there was no training requirement.
Hunting was, to much of the population then, a "necessary part of life" in a way that it simply isn't today.
Exactly why the framers of the Constitution would have found it as absurd for the Second Amendment to apply to hunting as you would find it to have a constitutional right to go to Wal-Mart.
I would say it's you who should put your tinfoil bat back on before the eeevil mind control beams get you. Because seriously, the inanity that comes out of the NRA crowd these days - proving they have done no research, no independent analysis, and probably were the ones sleeping through 3rd grade history too - is just incredible. You can support the reasonable right to bear arms, while simultaneously agreeing that weapons of this sort should be registered, and not come off as a complete loon, but I've yet to meet the NRA type who isn't a raving, tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorist.
Rant much? The only mention of the NRA, thoughts of a conspiracy theory, or indication of lunacy is from you.
Slashdot Mirror
It will be used against you.
My apologies. The spelling errors are caused by my subluxations. I soooo need a chiropractor right now.
I don't need a link. I can pull it up on my Roku. The short list is why they are suffering.
Maybe I should have been more clear. Nexflix needs new content that people want to watch.

Let's regulate knowledge and learning. ...can I just ask "are we there yet?"
Yes. U.S. Department of Education.
We cannot tie everything down just because a few people abuse what we need for day to day life.
That will not stop governments from trying.
Who cares if citizen's freedoms suffer? Given the responses from the voting public, it doesn't seem the citizens care.
...just try to stir up some controversy to re-awaken the crazies.
Agreed.
Were we talking about the crazies that are completely proselytize global warming, or the crazies that completely deny global warming?

Yes, people are very bad a math.

"Whoosh" + mod points = -1 score.
It is not believed that the perpetrators of this attack obtained access to sensitive information.
AT&T does not consider any of its customer's personal data as "sensitive information".

He won't have access to email after he is in prison for killing you for naming him that.
If you would have only named him Kevin_8992 your future self would still be alive.

You really need to learn from Dr. Bob. His pro-chiropractic trolls are at least amusing.
I vote Dr. Bob as chiropractor of the year!
Someone should tell DARPA that chiropractic care can cure drug-resistant bacterial infections.
Who knew?

It boggles the mind.
Not everyone's.
If cars kill more people than guns, wouldn't that make them a better armament than a gun, and therefore subject to the Second Amendment?
Do you believe the Second Amendment is about killing people?
More babies drown each year than are killed by guns. Perhaps you believe the Second Amendment should protect your bathtub?
It's kinda cute that you called someone else "brainwashed." (Or did the rest of us miss the mass gun registration, collection and previous-owner-killing event you refer to in "history?")

The "clip" is generally an internal part of the removable magazine. Without the "clip", you don't have the reloading capacity.
Again, incorrect. A clip holds the rounds together. A magazine contains the rounds. There is no clip in a magazine.
Most videogames refer to the "clip size" of a weapon.
If this is your source of education on the subject, it is clear why you have such a lack of understanding.
just about every gun - rifle or not - that uses a detachable magazine has a clip as part of the mechanism.
Once again, repeating an incorrect statement will not make it suddenly become correct.
Guns are used as the weapon in far more INTENTIONAL killings than cars are.
Citation needed.
Cars are exceptionally difficult to use as a defensive weapon. It is rare that an individual successfully defends themselves from a disparity of force situation with a Volvo.
