I agree with Diva (?) about the commercials for "Taken." - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:43 4

Holy crap! Good movies on Netflix streaming! Man on Wire and the Other Boleyn Girl. Persepolis, too. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 20:34 3
- I'm baffled by Netflix's criteria for adding films to the Watch Instantly list. The selection seems utterly random. - Mop Jan 9, 20:45
- Figures they'd put Man on Wire on there the week after I watch it. - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:35 1
  - Same here, though I haven't actually gotten around to seeing it yet. -- nm - Jelly Jan 9, 20:44
So, Digsby users...is there a way to make the notifications stay up for longer? - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:33 1
- I'd like to find a setting for that, as well. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 20:38
So, I'm reading the ST/TT/DMac stuff and honestly, I have no desire to post on TT ever again. - Jim Jan 9, 20:26 39
- this is largely how I feel too. I especially see no reason to go there and hate on anyone. I love you guys. they gave me you guys. I have nothing but - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:30 24
  - To add to the nod, I really thought that D.Mac would eventually become an occasional, but welcomed poster on ST. - Inigo Jan 9, 20:48 2
    - I thought this might happen as well. I get that we're sort of two warring factions now, but - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:51 1
      - I'm on Team Salt the Earth. - David Jan 9, 21:07
  - The part that bugs me is that this entire brouhaha is predicated on a big old lie. - Trish Jan 9, 20:43 5
    - yes. - b! Jan 9, 20:48 3
      - I figured that you'd remember it too. :) - Trish Jan 9, 20:52
      - I can't remember what I had for lunch on Monday; women remember stuff forever. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:51 1
        
        i'm dangerous. - b! Jan 9, 20:52

  - *nods* -- nm - Inigo Jan 9, 20:43
  - Same here. - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:34
  - I'll admit that I was a little frustrated that they were prepared to discard us all for THAT. - Jim Jan 9, 20:33 12
    - I think I have a bigger problem with them not listening to the beta testers. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 9, 20:40 3
      - ken k would never do that to me (although I must admit that I still haven't bought a PS2, so...) -- nm - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:52
      - I say again: We were drafted into stability testing, not usability testing. - Mop Jan 9, 20:51
      - Hey, I was just a Senior Consultant. -- nm - Kenny K. Jan 9, 20:44
    - some people seem to blame d.mac for the site badness. - b! Jan 9, 20:40
    - I can't really fault them for that decision, at least on the assumptions I have about how they made it. - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:39 6
      - The decision to change, no. The changes they made, that's another story. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 9, 20:48 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:49
      - agreed. i couldn't be completely critical because they were trying to address dwindling traffic and revenues. - b! Jan 9, 20:44 2
        
        dwindling? how do we know that? -- nm - nubby Jan 9, 20:47 1
        
        ::brain squint:: - b! Jan 9, 20:50
      - FWIW, the orange never really bothered me. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 20:40
- I'm still lost on the whole "DMac's frustration" comments. He's posting stuff on Misc. So what? - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:28 13
  - I'm fine with him posting on the Misc board. He's trying to drum up business. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 20:35 1
    - I think he's just bored. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:36
  - None of it made any sense to me either. But considering I haven't looked at TT before today in weeks...so maybe I missed something. -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 20:30 1
    - me either -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:30
  - I also think that people are assuming too much about his job re: TT. -- nm - nubby Jan 9, 20:30 8
    - pegleg seemed to speak with some knowledge re:d.mac's job. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 20:43 1
      - see below. - b! Jan 9, 20:59
    - Absolutely. I think this is very much the case. Also, assumptions are being made about his involvement and opinion of beta and what he wanted from it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 20:30 5
      - I think his trepidation about it was evident. none of this was his fault. his frustration is understandable. - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:32 4
        
        Totally. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 9, 20:39
        
        (what "frustration?") - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:34 2
        
        I mean his frustration with migrated people stopping in over there just to start trouble. -- nm - school on monday loves mandy lane Jan 9, 20:37 1
        
        ah, ok. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 9, 20:40

        What did I ever do to you? -- nm - Redmond Jan 9, 19:25 15
        
        Nothing, it's perfectly fine to enjoy the gifts of Kathy Bates. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 19:28 14
        
        There isn't enough Viagra in the world to get aroused by Kathy Bates. -- nm - Redmond Jan 9, 19:37 13

    - Yes, we are full of drama. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 19:46 2
      - I thought that was TNT. -- nm - David Jan 9, 20:14
      - Indeed. We are white water compared to the stagnant pond that TT Misc has become. -- nm - Spawn Jan 9, 19:54
  - I would expect he does, and I welcome him (although I realize it would be likely be awkward for him to post here, due to his employer maybe) -- nm - ty97 Jan 9, 19:18 1
    - Considering his general stance toward many of us on this board and his complete untrustworthiness in general - Will Hunting Jan 9, 19:20
