Comment Re:Any Rabbi worth his salt could have told them. (Score 1) 1014

There are A LOT of people over here who are just to proud to consider that they came from lower level organisms.

You would think that the teachings on pride would help knock them down a few pegs, but those teachings only apply to the other people, "I'm a good christian".

You can't argue with crazy.

That's the big push, Netflix wants to push people to streaming, saving the people and them money.

Unfortunately for Netflix, the streaming side is lackluster at best. They need a little more sugar with their medicine me thinks.

They should ( and maybe will) increase the quality of their streaming service, people who don't want to pay $16 will drop the disks, save $2 and go to streaming. win-win...

Disks are becoming an antiquated delivery mechanism anyway. Hell I'm ripping my dvds to my HTPC just so I don't have to get my lazy ass up to change the disk in the player.

This reminds me though, I should change my netflix subscription, I'm still at 3 disks at a time, should bump that down to 2. Save a couple bucks.

That sounds like you had poor coders, not a VB6 issue if the coders aren't professional. I've written/debug plenty of VB6 code. Compared to VS 2010 Visual Basic.Net yeah, it's not as easy in some respects. But there's a familiarity there to "pre-objected oriented" code that a lot of older programmers are used to.

Just because something is new and shiny doesn't mean it's automatically better than the older version. VB.Net 2002 sucked donkey balls compared to VB6, it took them to 2008 to get it good enough for me. I know a few coders now who are just starting to get into .NET and away from VB6, it's not a simple switch for all.

I'm right there with you, except on the PC side.

Now with a full life, Wife, Child, career, house, etc etc, I'm happy at 8pm (after the kid is in bed) just to chill. I may get 2 hours to actually relax, if I'm lucky.

I loved working on PCs, I still like building my own. But the thrill of digging through a pile of old PCs an stripping out the memory for my use later...meh..thrills gone.

You have to go to History International for hitler now....

Reality-based TV is cheap and easy, and must make them a ton of money.

It's sad, when you turn on the History channel and the only thing they show that I learn something from has Larry the Cable guy on it. He at least deals with some of everyday history.
