Comment Re:Sounds like a Slashdotter (Score 1) 579

Well put, the part about "if you're interested in increasing the liberty of individuals." I've come to some of the same conclusions myself; that I'm largely against big Government and Government processes because they take away man's freedoms, yet Government is necessary in order to ensure man's freedoms.

Well, the guy has a point that the chatbot blows. I tried it out too, and after about 6 or 7 messages it threw me the dilemma thing too.

And you have a point that AI is definitely improving :) Btw, when are we getting together again, we should do at least once a month no?

Comment We love Netflix (Score 1) 325

At my house of 3 (7 year old plus Mom and Dad), we love Netflix. I do have some ideas to make it better, but I'll get to those in a minute. Here is what we love:

- The ability to pause or stop a movie/show, and then restart hours, days or even weeks later from the same spot. With Hulu through my Blu-Ray Player, we don't have this, and it is sorely missed.
- Instant Queue concept (Again, not nearly as intuitive on the Blu-Ray with Hulu)
- The ability to choose what we want to watch, on demand.
- The selection of older shows and movies is decent, passable.
- No advertisements

Here is what we don't like:
- Having to use Hulu. Just give me the Hulu shows on Netflix with advertisements. I like Netflix better, i.e. the ability to pause and restart.
- Having to use Redbox. Again, just give me the movies on Netflix. It's OK if we have to pay per movie for this!

Cheers,

Jason

Submission + - Circumvention of torrent blocking proxies (dwerg.net)

An anonymous reader writes: It seems to get more mainstream for some ISPs and campus networks to block the downloading of torrent files, in order to try to prevent the illegal data traffic. This should no longer be a problem, as txtor (http://txtor.dwerg.net) offers you the possibility of downloading the torrent file for you and providing you with a text version of it. That is, modified extension and mime type. Seems to fool most transparent (and normal) filtering proxies.
