Comment Noooooooo! (Score 5, Insightful) 366

Netflix, gives me, for the most part, exactly what I want in television watching. I pay a reasonable monthly fee. When I want to watch a movie, there is a selection of B-movies and older classics (I use the term lightly) for me to choose from. No commercials. Nice! I pay my cable/internet bill on-time and regularly. I watch on average 1.25 moviews per day. AS far as I can tell, everyone wins. I'll never go back to straight cable. If netlix dies, I'll throw the TV in the trash and be done with it.

Comment Re:Javascript is a disaster (Score 2) 305

Two objects that have always contained numerical values, were assigned numerical values, are treated as strings. You always have to explicitly cast them as numbers. Which is bogus. Just the typing alone hurts my fingers.

Bu-u-u-llshit! Try the following

var i = 1; var j = 2; alert ( "This is a test : " + ( i + j ) );

Comment Sorry. (Score 1) 328

As much as I'd like for this to be true, what they sold you was, "X Gigabytes/Month @ Y Data Rate, consumed by normal usage of the device without tehering an external device." It's in your contract. I you don't like the terms, don't agree to them. Now, of course, it's not like there is actual competition, but, nobody says you have to buy the service. Just forgo it.

Comment Re:Every improvement is highly needed, FF4 sux (Score 1) 306

Typing in slashdot sucks in anyy browser in my experience. Ever since their latest round of updates it is obivious that they areo doing soe heavy and badly optimized JS sutff on every single keystroke. My guess is they are doing really inefficient queries oby class or somesuch using something like JQuery. It is a travesty.

Nice response. I'm pretty sure this guy is trolling because I have nothing like that experience. I bounce back and forth between FF 4 (actually mindefield), Epiphany Webkit, and Chromium. They all prform similarly while FF is much more feature rich. Keep up the good work. Thanks for making the Web great!
