Indeed, I found it a tad strange that URL redirecting to 
https://signup.netflix.com/global which sayeth:

"Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country... yet

Enter your name and email address below
and we'll email you when Netflix is available."

Interesting box alright.  Hope it wasn't Top Secret in my country, and 
that I can ask my (Debian based) ISP when they'll be getting some? :)

Good to see Scott's found something to keep him off the streets too ..

cheers, Ian
