  1. Re:It's about Licensing, Stupid! Content is expens on Netflix's US Catalog Has Shrunk by More Than 2,500 Titles in Less Than 2.5 Years · · Score: 1

    Yea, the same thing happened with a lot of old bbc tv shows I used to love watching. Now all are gone, they had a few sci-fi/sy-fi tv shows I liked for a while no most of those are gone too.

    I tried looking up in the name of the rose the other day and got nothing. I'm seriously thinking about moving to apple tv or hulu plus. Netflix streaming just isn't what it used to be...though 9.99 a month is still pretty cheap when you don't have cable, on the flip side its no use when there is nothing but sharknado 3 and other really horrible DTTV stuff.

    "The tax plan, known as the one-percent tax plan, was worked out in conjunction with the Fiscal Policy Institute, a left-leaning economic think tank."

    No it's just a few companies trying to push an agenda. They don't need higher taxes to pay more taxes......all they have to do volunteer more.

  5. no reason too, on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time To Shrink the Ethernet Connector? · · Score: 1

    almost no one is getting gig speeds (except fiber people, you bastards!). And no one is going want to re-engineer something that already works and so entrenched as the defacto standard (no one can cost justify "it makes the physical port a touch smaller" as a good reason to update the hardware).

    When speeds for everyone start going to 1 gig then you will see a new ethernet version/form factors on the scene.

  6. I think any place with a tram/train system for mass transit lets you drink (or don't enforce it) on the trains, Vancouver is the same way, so is Tokyo. So long as you're not peeing on the seat or something.

    I read that as "poops" bag of popcorn, which I initially found much more humorous.

  12. Re:First... on DeLoreans To Go Back To Production (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    That's what always got me in part 2, when marty goes to the future to help his kid....if he left his own timeline in the past to go to the future, how could he have kids or even exist during the interim?

    There are a few other causality mistakes but that was the one I thought of as a kid.

  13. Re:What's the problem? on Tension Escalates Between Netflix and Its TV Foes (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually that is exactly it, cost. They can't quantify costs as clearly as they used too, and that makes the whole deck of cards go down. It makes the ad demographics harder to predict, and the viewer ship (is it just a few fans watching the same series over and over). Same thing with demographics, when up to 3 people in a household might be viewing different stuff on the same account.

    Often they sell the license to air the shoes on hulu and netflix, but they eat the initial cost of the first airings. That gives companies like netflix the upper hand, since the price isn't very quantifiable it makes it harder for the networks to know which shows to produce, and it gives streaming more bargain leverage to get a cheaper deal.

    ....I only watch youtube these days...
