Oh why mention it? Because the original story mentions it. I quote: "but we'll probably see more with the success of Hulu's exclusive U.S. distribution of Misfits or Netflix's success with Buffy and Doctor Who. On the other hand" Notice that the conversation STARTED with a Buffy mention.

Lies! Lies! They had at least three robots ( Joyce's Boyfriend, creepy guys love 'bot, Buffy 'bot), one Cyborg/Demon villain, aaaaand a freeze ray. If Captain Horatio Hornblower in space ( Start Trek TOS ) can be called SciFi, then I have enough things that go ping! to call Buffy SciFi.

You had me at Buffy. Netflix is producing Buffy? When, how, who? Somebody take my money, now. Please don't suck. A quick search on this subject reveals nothing informative, does any one have any details?

You may believe that you 'get code'. But clearly you do not. there have been more than a few attempts to make common objects flexible enough so that even you can stack them on top of each other to make applications. They are unwieldy and create poorly performing applications.

Yes I have been in that exact situation. I spent 12 years working in the restaurant business.
The last few as an Executive Chef running hotel kitchens in the Bay Area. Trust me the very very worst day anyone ever had in any cube farm anywhere (that did not involve a disgruntled individual with a gun), is better by far than most good to so so days in the kitchen. Try washing dishes at 0400 in the morning on New Years day because you have to get the kitchen pout back together from the NYE parties for the breakfast crew... knowing that your next will last 18 hours and you last one was 24. Try regularly going to work on a Thursday morning and not seeing the outside of the hotel until Sunday evening.

Eeew boring and tedius, you poor bastard.
I am sooo glad I work in IT now, this is the worst IT job I have ever had and it is still better than every restaurant job ever.
