Rules of the internet, everyone is willing to pay half of what the asking price is. To tell you the truth 0.99c an episode is pretty good for the convenience. If they released something like this in Australia i would be all over it, I find quite often i am out on site somewhere, in Western Australia. We have lots of spare time at night time, lots of spare cash because there is not heaps to do while you are working on site, and a fast internet connection. If i could easily queue up a few episodes in the morning before leaving and have them ready to watch at night i would do it. Its in the price range where people think whats a dollar anyways (probably like $1.50 for Australia anyways)

This reminds me of walking into my local hifi store and looking at buying a stereo. The girl tried to sell me a "high quality" optical fibre cable... Apparently it improves the quality of the music etc etc... I didn't have the heart to tell her what she was full of. Might have been something to do with her being cute and me being meek.

i've seen worse. At my company they moved the CAD software management to drafters and then they broke up the drafting department and just assigned each drafter to a team. I am an engineer and i sit near the IT department. I feel sorry for the poor buggers, now not only do they have to run around like headless chooks. But so do the CAD drafters because before the load level was done by a head drafter allocating work. now its managers running around asking other managers can they "borrow" there drafter, and we have different people running different versions and to sum it up its hell to watch.

And the only reason they implemented such a scheme was that accounting told them it would save money... So instead of having 8 drafter for the whole company we now have 12 (one for each project). Sometimes the world doesn't work with just numbers!

It is when it makes people change there purchasing behaviour to buy more fuel efficient vehicles

Exactly just look at this WSJ article to see how much FUD is surrounding this issue...

Also if it flies between the lines its wingspan could potentially cause a flashover..

Case in point, the Netherlands.

If so i plan on holding a LAN party down wind... make sure you bring nachos!

It would be awesome if the front seats faced backwards and you could have a table in between the seats!

I hope to god all of these things come true!

Exactly money is a big motivator when your talking about billions lost. The problem comes when you try and put a price on things like lives and the environment. How much are those dying birds worth to you etc.

Hallelujah!! I think this every day when i drive to work. Im an electrical engineer, could quite easily sit at home and create calculation records etc. Instead i drive to my cube farm every day and sit at a computer the whole day.. I probably only have about 20 minutes worth of face to face interaction with other engineers which could quite easily be done with teleconference.

I actually spend more time chatting with other engineers on messenger who are sitting in the cubicle next to me than i do spend chatting with them during the day (I know that is a little sad but its easier than standing up and down and i can send them links easily).

wrong i have two 24" monitors on my desk one is mounted vertical and one is mounted horizontal. Works perfectly for all documents. I am mainly working with A3 schematics however.

Good experience i have had with pricing; I was living in Queensland recently and I was able to see $6AU movies with my student card any day of the week. Anyways at six bucks the movies where so cheap i actually found myself going to the movies 2-3 times a week. Now i am back in NSW and the movies here are about $14 except on Tuesdays. Funnily enough i don't even go to the movies anymore as i am not willing to pay $14 unless its looks like a really good movie.

Its funny how a small price difference can change peoples spending habits.

Outside the US this is a different matter. I can get something pretty much equivalent to the 17" macbook Pro from dell (the dell will have a better screen RGBLED) for about half the price of the macbook, as Apple plays funny games with the exchange rate..
