Woe to the fucking wicked.

They're getting rid of secondary profiles, so there will only be able to be one queue per account.

Ah. Well, that's a shame. It will muddy up the process for people with kids (for example.)

Yes, my sister is not going to be happy about this at all. However, I am because the fact that you couldn't delete a profile once it was created was driving me crazy.

Our wings are not tired.

I didn't get that e-mail! That sucks entirely. Enough to probably have me cancel my account. It's really important for me and my housemate to have different queues.

ETA: I just checked the Netflix site and there is no mention of this. Can someone forward the e-mail to me please?

I recall there being some discussion of pay-as-you-go cellphones in the thread. My search-fu is not working, though, so can someone Nilly me, or can we have the talk again? I am ready to join the modern world and get a cell phone, but I want to go cheap and infrequent-use as I start out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I (and some other folks here) like the Virgin pay-as-you-go service: [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have T-Mobile pay as you go and like it fine.

Hmm, not T-Mobile stores locally, but they have Virgin at Target, one of my favorite places!!1! I am never going to be able to pick a phone just looking at them online.

Dumb question: if you receive calls on a pay-as-you-go phone, do you get charged anything, either the daily access fee or for minutes or anything?
