Guess someone found a perfect movie predicting algorithm over on Netflix. If someone likes a movie, tell them they'll also like that same movie.

Does anyone know if Anthem plans on releasing Rush's Through The Camera Eye video on DVD? It was released on VHS and Laserdisc back in 1985. I saw it once in a little independent video store in middle-of-nowhere Iowa, but they wouldn't sell me the VHS copy they had. Every other video release is available on DVD now and I'd sure like to see what is on this video with my own eyes...
Netflix:
- Make your "online movies" available to users of all computer platforms (including Linux.) All the cool video sites are doing it. Notice that YouTube never tells me "sorry your computer platform is unsupported." Make it work, period.
- I need tool to manage moving movies from queue to queue (even if it is only from the "main" account queue to the subordinate account queues.) It's ridiculous that I'm basically reduced to jotting down notes and re-searching and re-adding to move a couple dozen movies from one queue to another.
- Allow me (as the "main" account holder) to view when the same movie is duplicated on multiple queues in my account and resolve the situation by choosing which queue I want to remove it from.
- Please allow me to provide links to individual Netflix inventory (note: as of September 2008) (a particular DVD, for instance) so I can refer people to a movie on your service directly. Ideally, tie this to a affiliate program where I might make a couple bucks to cover my subscription fees. Your current affiliate program, a "Subscribe to Netflix" button, adds no value and was worthless to me.
- Similarly, provide an affiliate button that lists popular movies that are currently low in demand in your system to help drive demand on these movies and possibly even gateway people into a subscription. This could also be done on a geographic basis to drive regional demand.
- I may never watch all 500 of the movies in my queue, but why limit me to 500? The longer my queue, the longer I'm a customer of your service...
- When I add a movie to my queue, let me pick a queue position for the movie to be inserted into. Now my only options are at the bottom (default) or at the top, why nothing in between?
