  1. Re:It's all in the account setup... on When Does Usability Become a Liability? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I don't think this is quite right. Doesn't change much of what was said, but Administrator on Windows is not the top user login. That is called "System," and can't be accessed usless you change a setting, and then get the password from a manual. Basically it is to prevent the deletion of some ultra-important system file. If you use a Windows machine, you might be able to find some place where you will be denied access to something, even though you're logged in as Administrator.

  2. Re:Download speeds... on Netflix to Offer Movie Downloads · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just a bit of information about Netflix, but the whole point of it is that there are no rental times. Currently, one monthly fee (about $20 for three movies at a time) lets you hang on to a set number of DVDs for as long as you want. You get an online queue, and each disc you send back prompts the next one to be sent to you. No late fees, a vast collection (all of Star Trek, M*A*S*H, etc.), I haven't been to a Blockbuster etc. for a very long time.
