I have previously been responsible for my employer's GPL compliance.

Others have posted the link the explanation for the offer of source code, please read that. It turns out your understanding is wrong.

Switching to distributing the source code with the binary will make your *future distributions* compliant; very good and well done.

What it **will not do** is make your *past distributions* compliant. There is only one way to make your *past distributions* compliant and that is to honour source code requests *from anyone*, for the source code for those previous distributions.

Mostly I use it to listen to music without having to be tethered to my music device.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's wrong with Netflix Canada. Maybe it's the fact that I use the Wii client? But the website sucks in exactly the same way... I can search by predefined categories like by genres, 'Netflix thinks I'd like this' which is usually wrong, by 'Recently Added' which is only updated once a month or less, 'New Releases' which is sort of okay but not updated very often, 'Popular on Facebook' wtf?, and 'these are like something you just watched' which is only partly useful since the client/website has no way to distinguish between me, the wife and each of the kids, none of us whom have the same preferences. And ALL of these continue to shows things we've already watched, so they are practically and effectively useless.
I can also search by title text (not quite regex but not keyword either, but only gives me the first 16 or so results).

What I want: to be able to search by title text (with keyword, free form and regex modes), rating classification, year of release, actor, producer, etc, and to be able to do all of them simultaneously. To be able to turn on or off the display of already watched items.

What I'd really like to see is this: every item has a link to IMDB, which links back to Netflix. So this could occur: I've just watched Prometheus in the theater and I know Michael Fassbender looks familiar. My buddy mentions yeah, he was in X-Men. When I get home I pull up X-Men: First Class on Netflix and rewatch his performance as Magneto. Then I use the IMDB link to bring up IMDB's page for First Class, scroll down, click Fassbender, scroll throug his movies, see that Fish Tank is available on Netflix, click and stream. This is totally achievable. Hook it up Netflix!

Also, I'd like to be able to rate something 0 stars. The current interface makes you choose between rating at least 1 star and non-rating. Since I use ratings to keep track of things I've watched, 0 stars needs to be an option.

Also, get on that content horse. I'm >< this close to paying for a VPN to get US Netflix, which is money that could instead go into Netflix's pockets.

... Okay, got off on a tangent there. Sorry.

The parent poster wants to get HBO somehow.

On one hand, they could pay a fee to get cable, which they don't already have and don't want and once subscribed can't use for any other purpose but to get HBO, then pay a fee to get HBO over cable.

On the other hand, they could pay a fee to get HBO over internet, which they already have and pay for and use to do many other fruitful activities.

So yes, comparing the full cost of cable+HBO vs the incremental cost of HBO over internet is in fact valid and the actual economic question that exists in real life for many people, myself included. Saying "You can't do that" is laughable at best, at worst makes you a cable company shill/troll.

I can't comment on the eye conditions, but maybe clean your glasses? That works for my glasses anyway.

In 2 decades of BoW vs WoB debates, this is the first reasonable argument I've heard for BoW. OTOH, if using WoB causes you eye not to be able to focus, you need to get to an optometrist.

I've never had a problem with glare/reflections except when in direct sunlight, which hurts both BoW and WoB equally. Also, when I've had a hard-walled office I keep the lights off. More earth-friendly, cooler, and nicer to work in.

Rumours of Sybase's not-much-edness have been greatly exaggerated. Several of my friends work for Sybase. They're just fine.

Dammit. Spoke too soon. See the Teksavvy news post elsethread.

Seconded. It's the only sane decision. C'mon CRTC, make 2011 the year you do 2 Right Things(tm).

Generally true, but there are (rare) exceptions:

• Atria is mostly business but will service some multi-unit residential.
• Wightman has been doing FTTH for a few years, but you have to live in small-town ON.

Please post the name of the CLEC so others may also benefit.

Not going to happen? I did some BOE calculations. In the past 14 years the price of gas has risen at an annual rate of 7%, roughly. Google tells me the average price of gas in Detroit is $3.36/gallon today. At 7% inflation, $7/gallon is 2022, just over a decade from now.

Well, I suppose it is possible that we could run out of oil before then.

I'll take this opportunity to point out that, if this had been a piece of commercial software where the corporation behind it was gone, your options would be:

1.

This is the power of OSS. You still have options when things don't go the way you'd hoped.

You can't. Because they didn't like the look of the big, floor-to-ceiling look of the old XP system, they shrunk it all down so that it only shows 5-6 items at a time and has a scrollbar.

In short, they made it harder to use and less functional than the XP Start Menu

ClassicShell to the rescue.

True, but in some parts of rural Ontario, you get Fibre to the Home.

Viva la Wightman! (And please bring FTTH to KW.)
