They're giving credits to people with delayed movies. They don't say exactly what that credit is (a full month? 1 day's worth per day of delay?) This won't push people to a more expensive plan. The discs aren't shipping, it doesn't matter if you have 2 or 6 in your plan.
The Watch Now service is still available and always usable even when you have discs at home (as long as you have a high enough subscription, 2 discs is enough for that)
This is unusual for netflix. Usually you can get 2 discs per week for each of the discs on your subscription. If your trial ends before this problem is resolved, you should think of that rate when weighing your options
I've been using netflix to dip into a lot of older movies I never got around to seeing, or want to see again. RedBox isn't going to do that for you.
Hey, I'll admit I liked the Ewoks. I was pretty young when I saw Jedi, but since I liked the Ewoks back then, I still like the Ewoks. (I also liked the first of the Ewok movies they made after Jedi, but I'm willing to bet that won't stand up as well to another viewing).
The ewoks were at least cute, Jar Jar's just annoying. (But it IS fun playing the Lego Star Wars game and slicing Jar Jar up all day (or shoving him off cliffs) with no penalty whatsoever)
The problem with audio is you need somewhere to listen to it. I'm always turning the audio down as it is, and all I have is the speakers on the TV. If I but subwoofers and stand alone speakers, my neighbors (I live in an apartment building) would kill me.
But I usually enjoy movies with the sound fairly low and the subtitles on, so I can understand what people are saying without the explosions breaking windows
I think most people would not realize that this was technically illegal. They bought the disc, they just want to play it on whatever player they have available. Most who do know it is illegal, would still see nothing morally wrong with it.
And if you got a popular tape from the video store, or were playing your kid's favorite movie for the hundredth time, the tape would start to wear out and the video quality would get quite noticably worse (or get jammed in the VCR).
They do have an economic incentive. If they had a better filter, or were more flexible in making exceptions to it's demands, they would have Mr. Libshitz's business, and be receiving money from him each month. Because they refused, they don't have his business and have lost some revenue. Now, just his business is probably not enough to pay for a chance in policy, but if there are others who have the same problem, it might add up. A monopoly on luxuries still has to worry about driving potential customers away (they may not be able to get the product anywhere else, but they can still choose to do without the product.)
It let you do some things that remind me a lot of GTA. Throw someone out of the copter, then when they're lying injured on the ground pick them up and fly them to the hospital for points.
Yeah, but they're youth. They're supposed to be stupid. Here's the police, who are supposed to have sense, taking people who are wasting public resources because they want attention and giving them even more attention by putitng them on YouTube. What are they Thinking?
But is "far more" really significant when you throw in the cost of the rest of the car?
I'd like one that was more accurate, because I keep trying to judge my mileage from the fuel gauge (I've driven 200 miles on half a tank, that should be pretty good... except I'll only get another 80 on the second half)
But if your friend is in class or your coworker in a meeting, your call should go straight to voicemail anyway. If he chooses to answer the phone in class/meeting, well, that's his fault not yours, he should have turned the phone off.
"You have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate and then you can do the downgrade," he said--but I'd have to perform the installation myself, and I'd have to buy the software from another source.
So if he has to buy an XP disk himself anyway, why does he need to upgrade to Ultimate? Do lesser versions of Vista bind themselvse to the machine so they can't be wiped and replaced with XP?
Most Windows users like to dabble in a bit of gaming when on their PC. But the constant demand for computing power by the latest titles (read: Crysis) can leave the majority in the dark.
I've heard a lot about people really decking their machines out to play the latests greatest high power games, but I've never actually seen these games that don't play on less state of the art machines. My machine is several years old now, and while I spent a little extra on the video card I wouldn't have called it top of the line, but it runs anything I throw at it fine. Where should I be looking to find games that will bring it to a screaching halt?
We went to the prequels because they'd been anticipated for 15 years. Even as we complained about how much Phantom Menace sucked, we still went to the last 2 because the story needed to be completed.
Now that those are done, we're willing to ignore anything else Lucas has to say about Star Wars (And him letting us down with the latest Indiana Jones didn't help either)
News for Nerds. Hellboy started as a comic book, nerds like comic books. Plus, it's Taco's own review. He can put it up on his site if he wants to. (Read the department name)
You missed the point. You don't put work data on your personal laptop. Your personal laptop is your personal laptop and stays at home. Your work laptop is your work laptop and stays at work. Since your work laptop stays at work, you don't do work at home.
Microsoft will say they support OOXML, and OOXML is an ISO standard, therefore they support ISO standards. They will neglect to mention that the version of OOXML they support isn't even the version that was submitted to ISO, and certainly isn't the one that was approved.

But it's SO hard to turn on the parental controls and prevent Rated Mature games from playing.

It's not for free. You're paying for 3G service when you pay your iPhone bill.
I remember having the planes crash if you let tall buildings grow near the airport. You had to surround the airport with low density housing.

Ah, the previous threadstarter was wrong. Here's the pedantry he was looking for.
But if your friend is in class or your coworker in a meeting, your call should go straight to voicemail anyway. If he chooses to answer the phone in class/meeting, well, that's his fault not yours, he should have turned the phone off.
Lemonade made from saltwater would be less salty than normal Gatorade.

Who cares what middle America wants? Some things are too important to leave to the will of the majority.
And I wouldn't be surprised if they'd accept a lower offer than that if MS made it. Sounds more like haggling than blowing them off.
You missed the point. You don't put work data on your personal laptop. Your personal laptop is your personal laptop and stays at home. Your work laptop is your work laptop and stays at work. Since your work laptop stays at work, you don't do work at home.
It's so good to know that stories about a party posted on someone's web page are considered news these days.
