Firewhip! That's all I can say.

I agree with a lot of what the reporter is saying, yet I can also understand what the Netflix rep is saying. He's just saying it very poorly which reinforces TWB and my points that they need a better PR person. Perhaps they should have done something like this: *************** We understand that some of our customers want DVDs only and do not want to take advantage of our streaming service. We also understand that some of our customers want streaming only and do not want delivery of our vast collection of DVDs. Many of our customers, however, wish to take advantage of both of these services. In order to better meet our customers' needs, we have decided to separate our services into a la carte bundles. 1 DVD/month - $7.99 2 DVDs/month - $13.99 3 DVDs/month - $17.99 Streaming only - $7.99/month Or, bundle streaming with any DVD package for half off - only $3.99 extra! 1 DVD/month + streaming - $11.98 2 DVDs/month + streaming - $17.98 3 DVDs/month + streaming - $21.98 We understand that these new a la carte options do create a slight price increase for our customers. For example, 1 DVD + streaming has increased from $9.99/month to $11.98/month. Without our bundling discount though, that same package would be $15.98! So, for less than two dollars, you are saving more than twice as much! *************** There. That's something I whipped together in less than 15 minutes. Give me more time to play with the wording and it'll sound great. If Netflix wanted to increase things even more then they can wait a while and do it incrementally. Any strategy is better than hitting us all at once.

Yes, that's one of the reasons, though I think this one is my favorite: Also, check out her Alice: Giselle: Hermione Granger: And some other random cosplays: I mean, she's just gorgeous! And she's Tinkerbell! (I was wrong when I said that other one was my favorite. I was thinking of the second one here. That is my favorite.)

I'm not happy with this decision, but I do want to give Netflix the benefit of the doubt. I don't know all the backstory behind this decision such as profit margins, licensing fees, costs, etc., but I do know enough about business to know that this decision probably did not come lightly for Netflix. They probably had a team discussing options for a long time before they came up with this plan. So, I support Netflix in their doing what they feel is best for the business. However, I do not like the way they handled things. As TWB mentioned, they definitely need a better PR rep and they should have handled things in stages so the consumer can more easily handle the transition. I bet if you gave me a couple free days to think it over, I could come up with a plan where the end result would be the same, yet I'd have you feeling okay about it instead of sour. Then again, PR and creative marketing strategies are my specialty. Hmm ... maybe I should apply at Netflix.

*crosses fingers for Detroit*

Clefchan <-- I'm totally in love. That's all I'm going to say. I'll let you do the work. Too tired right now and ready to go to bed. Maybe tomorrow I'll post some pics.

Netflix is unbundling its services. Now instead of getting streaming for free when you get any of the DVD delivery packages, you have to pay for DVD delivery and streaming separately. Boo. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43729443/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/?GT1=43001

Iris - I agree and applaud everything you said except your first sentence: That is true from one viewpoint. But Plato had another viewpoint that we are a couple by default, and it's Zeus's fault for our singledom. Here it is summed up by Hedwig (and the Angry Inch): (In spoiler code to save space)

I should've participated in that one. Back in high school, my best friend and I were the best hackers in school. We made a fire hack at his house once and were pretty good with it. I wonder how I would've been with the Manfast one. I thought I saw a good one on a webstore somewhere, but the one I was thinking about didn't have it. I'll have to check some others. It was crocheted out of kevlar wicking and filled with BBs so it looks, feels, and acts just like a regular hack, just on fire. I thoroughly enjoyed the time we all got to spend together. I concur. Calix and I have a HUGE tent. It has a big main room, a porch, and two separate bedrooms divided by privacy screens. One even has its own door. So you could've stayed with us if you wanted to without actually having to stay with us ... unless you wanted to of course. I do thank you for coming to tell me goodnight. I was so happy to see you there but then I got hit with that killer migraine and had to seek solace in bed and just rest and recover. Getting a hug goodbye totally made my day.

I miss Mephistos. I haven't been out to Mars Bar yet.

Hey, that's almost my name. She loves me. You're friends with Nocker and you like other things more than just the music? (Yes, obvious troll is trolling Nocker again but only 'cuz I like ya bro.)

15+ years ago, we didn't have personal computers and the internet like we do now. 15+ years ago, kids went outside and played. Now all they do is sit around all day interneting and video gaming.

I use Firefox almost exclusively. I have to use IE to deposit cheques with Michigan First because their interface won't work with Firefox, though when I deposit cheques into my USAA account, I can use Firefox with them. I have Chrome and used it a few times, but I have so many plugins and add-ons with FF I'm too lazy to switch now.

I'd say I was just yanking your chain, but that sounds too BDSMish.

Psh, screw the music. It's all about the fashion and fetish aspects. *runs*

I tried playing SC2 again recently. First, it took close to an hour for all of the updates and patches to finish. Then the game took forever to load. When I finally got my single player vs. computer game going, it simply froze. I had to shut everything down, restart my computer, and try again. From hitting the power on button to finally being able to play the game took about 20 minutes but at least it worked this time. But, the whole time the game ran fairly sluggishly. I really need a new computer but just can't afford one at the moment.

Phee has the hots for Pedo Bear! Why else would you be posting his picture in the "So who do you have the hots for" thread?

DGN?

Emma Watson in Goth Attire works for me too ... If she was a few years younger of course.

You again?!

How well do you know your colors? My Results: Your Score: 80% - B Very good! You win a shiny new box of 64 Crayola Crayons. I bet there's a sharpener on the back of that box! ***** The only reason I did as well as I did is because many years ago when I was learning HTML, I made this page to practice creating tables. The two I got wrong were Crimson and Ecru. I answered Mulberry and Bone, respectively.

*face/palm* I'm moving to Vermont.
