For the first time in a while, I actually want to buy a full season of a TV show that I like. Normally, I'd find some other means of getting it that didn't involve money..
The problem is, and I may be blind, but I can't find a single place to purchase and download TV shows. And by download, I mean actually downloading AVI (or some other friendly format) files, for me to do what I want with.
I can't use Amazon because they only support Windows. I can't use iTunes because I use Linux and despise most Apple products. I don't want DVDs because they're pointless, and I want files for the obvious benefits of them (no -- I have no intention on "sharing" them). I can't use an online streaming service because I intend to watch this season on a long flight I'll be taking in a few days.
Am I forced to obtain this season in an unlawful manner, or is there something out there that fits my (basic) needs?
How do you make a web browser that doesn't work with your web services?
Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm looking for some third-party software/service for offering an affiliate program for my product. The product/service I'm offering is irrelevant. Just to note, I'm not looking for a network to join. I want to offer the affiliate program myself.
Thanks for any info
But, I'm posting this question because of one main thing. I've come across a large amount of ads that rank very high (position 1-3 consistently; which means they much have a good QS), that feature landing pages with little to no text at all.
How could adwords possibly assign them a high QS for a page that is 95% images?

..you get the point
I know this topic has come up a million or so times on this site, but I couldn't think of a better place for advice on a web application that is in need of hosting soon.
I've used Liquidweb's dedicated servers for most of my previous applications. They're powerful, come configured ready to go (apache, php, mysql, mail, panel, etc), and the support is by far the best. My main concern now, is scaling, server power, reliability, etc (who's isn't, right?). The webapp is built on Drupal. When clients sign up, they automatically get a private copy of the application, available via a subdomain (single codebase, separate DB). Because of that sort of system, and my desire for a massive amount of clients, scaling and server resources are a big issue (having a hundred or so subsites operating together, big cron jobs, indexing, etc). I first considered getting two dedicated, one for DB, and one for everything else. But Amazon's, GoGrids, and Rackspaces cloud offerings seem worthy of a try.
I have no experience using any cloud-like services so I don't really know what to expect. What worries me a bit, is that I don't want to have to install and configure everything needed by the servers (mail, web, db, panel, etc). I'm pretty sure none of these services come preconfigured like that, and I don't know how well any of their support is (and monitoring is probably non-existent). They also seem a little expensive to be running 24/7/365. Most of the wording on the site place emphasis on the service being for temporary server power, computation, etc.
I greatly appreciate any feedback, thoughts, advice, etc..
Thanks as always
