Hold on while I get india on the phone.

Its $1m because its fucking impossible to do it.

They must already have like 40 - 50 in-house programers trying to make the system better.

My friend works in a company where they hire just shit load of programers to make the software better. Everyone is working on so its like its max, its really have to improve it.

All I know is Rogers Video recommendations suck monkey balls.

That would be one heck of a program. I bet the FBI has just what they're looking for.

Haha you guys acting like this is easy and a small script make me laugh. Netflix has a number of very smart programmers working on their system already. *Hint* anything a business is willing to pay $1million cash for isnt easy or they'd hire 1 java programmer in banglore to do it on the cheap.

Haha - you guys that think anyone in this thread is being serious make me laugh.

is this for real?

thats going to be one rich programmer :thumbsup
