I have a few shows that I like on TV (Amazing Race, Mythbusters, The Good Wife and the Berlanti DC Shows, mostly). But for literally the last 2-3 weeks, nothing has been on. I seriously wonder why I pay $80 a month for satellite when there hasn't been a show on for ¾ of that period.
Netflix to the rescue! There's always something that I find interesting on there. Because the menus are tailored to my interests.
Actually, you must not. Because Netflix still tells all the ISPs how to install their own Netflix servers to reduce traffic and they will do that for free.
Gravity was not worth anything. My high-school girls sat there and poked holes in the plot the entire time. It was only good in a MST3K kind of way... IE laughing at it.
This is exactly true. They also invest heavily in niches.
For instance, Netflix has a large selection of the best high-quality Christian movies right now. Even in Netflix' interface they can be hard to find at times. But there is no other provider that comes anywhere close to serving that niche. Almost every Pureflix movie is on there or has been at one time. At $8, I would keep a Netflix subscription simply for this reason alone.
And they do the same with Anime and many other niches that I don't care about. But SOMEONE cares about them enough to keep paying $8.
If you think that people are paying $100 each to watch your show, I have some nice land in Florida to sell you... $1 per person seems more likely. Maybe they only watched 8 shows on Netflix this month, but even that seems high.
And yet, Netflix has already admitted that they get their viewing numbers from torrents. That's how they determine viewership to a large extent (although I'm sure they look at everything).
I'm sorry. This is not "Insightful" at all. Because it's completely inaccurate.
Netflix didn't "start as mail order" and then "switch to online". And quite frankly, how would a Canadian even know since it started in the US? I was one of the first subscribers. It was ALWAYS online. It was always DVD only. And when I started, there were only 20 or so titles to choose from (because there were only 20 or so titles at all in the world). It grew quickly from there.
I have been a Netflix subscriber from the very beginning. I seriously doubt it was started as a snub to Blockbuster. Nothing about it had that feel back then. It seems more like it started with, "Hey, these DVDs are more durable than VHS tapes! I think we could run a nationwide online rental store!"
Yep. And I have contributed some top answers and I hope they help lots of people. I don't care if it's attributed. Why? Because these are simple problems that aren't worth copyright. It's not a house. It's a nail.
No. We just have learned that lawyers are not to be trusted and that this change will ultimately be abused. Not only that, but WE are the ones contributing to Stack Overflow and quite frankly we couldn't care less that our code is being used without attribution. If we had something proprietary or important, we wouldn't share it on a free website. (Duh.)
Mike Hearn has proven repeatedly that he is very selfish and is not looking out for the greater good of Bitcoin. At this point, anything he is for, I am against.
It's a bit sad to see Gavin joining him, as he always seemed more altruistic.

He doesn't HAVE diesel. He's talking about an electric tractor.
And this is why you don't buy Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge.

Which is the dumbest argument on the planet since it would probably save them $100 million in bandwidth costs over a year.

Well, Starz execs certainly thought it would. But Netflix just turned around and signed a deal with Disney directly and cut out the middle man.

Your bet would be wrong. Apparently it's above-board, opt-in and people get paid in $5 gift cards.
Or better. If every movie loses so much money, how can they continue to afford $100 million budgets?
Exactly. "Justifying my deviant lifestyle" seems to be a big goal for Hollywood.

Nobody cares that you feel good when taking a drug. It's the addiction leading to all kinds of destructive behaviors that causes action.
Leading to 38 VERY happy people, who now feel so lucky that they are going to celebrate at Chipotle.
Not true. The 10 minutes I am given on other sites works for me.

Exactly. If you don't want people to use it freely, then don't share it on a site where the whole point is for people to use the code freely.

I have an HP 28S that still works which I used in high school.
And my daughter actually uses the SAME Casio FX-4000 that I used in high school. Still works great.
He's almost ready for an AGDQ speedrun!
I really hate people like you. You take all the joy out of coding with your crap.
