I canceled my Netflix because of two main reasons: 1) I never really used it, and 2) it stopped working on my PS3.

I started years ago with the 3 discs at a time plan, then gradually went down to 1 disc at a time. Then I used streaming a few times. Then I canceled the disc delivery. Then the Netflix app on PS3 would always require an update, and a system update, and my password, and an activation ... every time it started (once a month or so). And even then it didn't work. Technicaly difficulties. Bummer. Oh well.

I cancelled my Netflix account because their movie streaming variety was horrible. All of the movies I was interested in was only available by DVD. Upsetting.

I'm not canceling Netflix because, despite the wackiness that's gone down in recent months, it's still the best value for my entertainment dollar. I might reconsider if Hulu ever becomes any sort of viable contender, but so far it's not really looking like that's going to happen.

And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

I watch TV Series's more than I do Films

Agreed. I find it much more engrossing to devote 17 hours to a story and its characters, rather than trying to care about characters who I can only watch for 2-3 hours.

(Lost) lol! (i'm finally in the middle of the 6th season)

I finally finished watching the end of LOST a few weeks ago.....I'm not going to ruin it for you, but I did not like the way it ended on the last 2 hour episode. I did like the show in general all the way from the beginning, but when I saw the final episode, I was a tab disappointed. My lady liked it, so it could just be me, but I just felt that particular ending was boring and made me feel I wasted my time watching it from the beginning. Again, that's just me.

Lost is really good, if your the series watching type. ( Although that doesn't really hold true for me because Lost is the only series I've watched more than little of, and I love it) LOL

1.) I have personified my mind and giving him (he's a he because I am male, not being sexist :D ) a name. His name is Eugene and he was 'born' sometime in February 2007.

2.) I hate February because I hate to spell/write/speak/type this month, therefore I might legally change Eugene's 'birthday'.

You just crossed the line pal!! February is my month & I don't like you offending it! *spits boltbait.mad.png

In other news, Pyrochild you also disgust me! If you think Lost is.... that.. way, then keep it to yourself!!

NMD - that post is like how old? February here for us is like hell, only hell is cooler. We also have the February dragon. After drying to a crisp, the countryside is on extreme or catastrophic fire alert & we have had some truly tragic bush fires. Personally for me it marks the end of the silly season & a return to normality after all the endless holidays & empty festivities :mrgreen:

So sorry NMD & BB, pyro is right for once... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I messed up my computer by accidentally starting a drive restore and then deciding it was a bad idea about 3% of the way through, so I made an Ubuntu live disc on my flash drive and have now been booting with it for almost a month haha

Ubuntu's never held much appeal for me. Nor has Linux of any flavor. I'm a Windows guy.

Mac OS X is neat, but it's really not any better than Windows, in my opinion. I like Windows 7 a lot more than the latest OS X (Lion? 10.7, I think?).

I'm a bit biased, having used Windows since 3.1, but I personally find Win7 much more usable and user-friendly than OSX. Maybe I'm just a "power-user," but every time I've ever used MacOS, it reminds me of a conversation my friends Mike and Avery once had:

Mike: You're still using Mac? Windows is so much more full-featured.

Avery: Oh, whatever. Name one thing your Windows machine can do right out of the box that my Mac can't.

Mike: [instantly] Right-click.

He was met with complete silence. I laughed, but it seems to me that it's an endemic problem with the Macintosh platform: it's easier to use because there's only one way to do anything, but that sacrifices a lot of conveniences. Context menus are one of those conveniences. I can't stand it when I'm trying to do something and it takes three trips across the screen with a cursor to perform an operation I could do with a single right-click on a Windows install.

tl;dr: Windows 7 is more convenient than OSX.
