  1. WOW! And I thought I was a ham radio equipment geek. This guy is my hero! http://bit.ly/1UvQ54
  2. @buddhake Yes. Agreed. But I dn't think Uncle Barry's & cousin Arnie's plans 2 LENGTHEN the shcool year r the solution! Less off days!
  3. @buddhake It's something I watch. My 5 yr old is in Kindergarten in a Montessori school but she'll be in public 1st grade next yr.
  4. @buddhake Well, I'd say most kids in the USA are behind where WE were at this age. Not sure it's just IL. Edu in general has gone south.
  5. @buddhake Urs is an important comment. It is concerting. But I'm more concerned with time off for things like "Pulanski Day" or whatever..
  6. @buddhake So do u feel ur children are "behind" due 2 IL education? Playing devil's advocate here. :)
  7. @buddhake It's Veteran's Day. All of us should be off honoring those who serve.
  8. @buddhake I've always understood the 30 day window 2 b for digital content. But maybe Netflix IS dumb.
  9. @buddhake Digital rentals/sales are a FRACTION of the revenue of physical rental/sales. If it's for physical then that's DUMB. I agree.
  10. @buddhake We've had these debates and discussions on the Vudu forums for the past 2 years. It's just the reality.
  11. @buddhake OK. but really. Is streaming a video < 30 days after release really THAT important? Are u that up to date on all movies?
  12. @buddhake Studios want all streaming services 2 be treated = unlike the music side of things. This change w/Netflix levels playing field.
  13. @buddhake Well, if u get physical media from Netflix, it should not impact u. If u stream it puts them on = playing field w/compettion.
  14. @buddhake It's a stupid studio policy but it's reality and not that impactful. There are bigger problems with online media than this.
  15. @buddhake 30 day rental window already exists fr Vudu & iTunes. It won't drive piracy. Crap, do u really need 2 rent on DVD release day?
  16. @buddhake That article goes overboard on the effect of the 30 day widnow. Netflix physical DVD's wouldn't be affected so it benefits them.

  18. @davezatz I think you just did.
  19. @scirica Uh, I don't care if they want it or not, I'm not walking any physically capable adult to the bathroom!
  20. To those who read the NYT article on Kiva: RT @Kiva: See @mattflannery response to today's NYT's article here: http://bit.ly/2f0bsc
