First, your entire discussion of "dB" is meaningless without an additional "unit". dB, by and of itself, is a baseless unit. It's dBSPL, or dBm, or even the cheat-of-all-cheats, dBu. But NEVER just dB.
You're just plain wrong. In audio plain-jane decibels are useful as a relative measurement of levels. I'm a sound designer and my colleagues and I use them regularly. Even if 1dB and 120dB weren't already defined in an human aural context (which they are, look it up) -- he provides the dynamic range as -90 to 0. All of the sudden the unit-less dB is useful as a comparison of levels in reference to the stated range.
Frankly, I am surprised that so many of my fellow geeks who are presumably my age or even younger are throwing such a fit over fucking DVDs in 2011.
Clue up buddy. That's probably because many people find the streaming selection to be anemic. Also note the constant swapping of available streaming content (not adding to, but swapping). Netflix knows many people will be split between an instantly available (but crappy selection) stream and slow to arrive (but great selection) dvds. They're betting on more than half keeping both services so that Netflix at least breaks even, I'm sure the goal is that more than half will keep both services.
Myself, I'm quitting NF, partially because of the money, but mostly because they blatently lied when they announced the fee hikes. Fuck that, we've got enough to deal with in life without adding more liars to the mix.

...they added firefox sync, which is really nice, other than it doesn't work.
Please expound on this. I have no trouble using firefox's sync across over 5 computers, running debian, os x, and windows 7.
Or I could just sum it up with a [citation needed].

Wow, you're either trolling, or you're a bigot.
