[02:17] <BiosElement> Awesome how many cyber attacks come from china
[02:22] <canthus13> Not really surprising, though.
[02:23] <BiosElement> Suprising, no. Silly, yes.
[02:24] <canthus13> Makes sense. china has the resources and the will to pull stunts like that.. Gotta wonder how many attacks they direect at estonia.
[02:28] <BiosElement> Heh, they attacked wp.com for heavens sake, I fail to see what good that does
[02:46] <BiosElement> Oracle Bad for Open Source: http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh030711-story09.html
[02:46] <BiosElement> ^Breaking news: the sky is blue.
[03:27] <canthus13> BiosElement: Practice.
[03:28] <canthus13> BiosElement: wp.com is a big site, with heavy-duty hardware, but not a whole lot in the way of resources to fight back.
[03:28] <canthus13> It makes a good tackling dummy.
[03:44] <BiosElement> Heh, perhaps.
[05:10] <BiosElement> I really hate working with other coders sometimes
[05:10] <BiosElement> Dude decides to store an admin flag clientside...then I find that even without that flag, any logged in user could edit accounts.
[06:29] <Cheri703> canthus13: still around?
[06:35] <Cheri703> canthus13:

[06:35] <Unit193> canthus13:
[06:35] <Cheri703> hey Unit193 did you decide if you want to go to the skywarn training?
[06:36] <Unit193> Sure, don't really have anything else to do
[06:37] <Cheri703> k, we can pick you up if you'd like
[06:38] <Cheri703> pm me your address
[15:35] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[15:35] <thafreak> Anyone look much into media players?
[15:36] <thafreak> It seems like popcorn hour plays anything on my network or from attached media, even 1080p stuff in just about any format
[15:36] <thafreak> but doesn't support netflix or hulu or anything
[15:37] <thafreak> roku, et al, plays hulu and netflix in 1080, but no support for local media....
[15:37] <thafreak> what gives...why won't some one make a little box that does both?!?!
[15:37] <thafreak> grrr...it's frustrating
[15:38] <thafreak> i guess you just have to buy 2 devices...sad
[16:00] <thafreak> I take that back, it seems there's a roku app that will stream your media over http...
[16:01] <thafreak> now the $59 roku seems very interesting!
[16:01] <thafreak> plays netflix, hulu (with subscription), and can potentially stream movies from local net...
[17:12] <Cheri703> thafreak: my brother just got a roku, really likes it
[18:35] <_bbb> ps3 or wii imo
[18:36] <Cheri703> my brother had a wii
[18:36] <Cheri703> got rid of it in favor of roku
[18:36] <Cheri703> (and wasn't playing it much)
[18:36] <_bbb> i know the feeling
[18:37]  * Cheri703 would be happy to have any of the above
[18:39] <_bbb> best answer htpc
[18:39] <_bbb> but does netflix run on linux yet
[18:39] <Cheri703> yeah, I have one :) it's just...slow and no netflix (though I won't subscribe until it can work on linux)
[18:40] <_bbb> i dual boot.. but i think i like the netflix interface on ps3 best
[18:41] <Cheri703> _bbb: if you ever want to be able to headless-ly dual boot, let me know, there's an EASY way to do it
[18:41] <_bbb> go on
[18:43] <Cheri703> grub-reboot
[18:43] <Cheri703> figure out what position the alternate OS is in on the grub menu (starting from 0)
[18:43] <Cheri703> you use grub-reboot X where x is that number
[18:44] <Cheri703> I wrote a script for it, so I have a launcher to make it easy
[18:44] <_bbb> interesting
[18:44] <Cheri703> it will boot the next time into that other os, then when rebooting, it'll go back to ubuntu
[18:44] <Cheri703> or whatever default is
[18:44] <Cheri703> one sec
[18:45] <_bbb> i just default to ubuntu with 10 sec timer in case i want windoze
[18:45] <Cheri703> yeah, I wanted to be able to vnc in, but be able to get windows, so this solved that for me
[18:46] <Cheri703> transcript from my user days session: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays/01292011/Tips%20and%20tricks%20for%20multi-booters  the stuff about this is toward the end, more in-depth explanation
[18:46] <Cheri703> started around 16:20
[18:47] <_bbb> yeah i can see where that would come in handy for remote
[22:22] <thafreak> well...we have a wii...but it's down stairs...and we mainly watch netflix on the xbox...but that requires a yearly fee..(damn microsoft)
[22:23] <thafreak> but, I kind of want to watch netflix upstairs sometimes...hence I was looking at the roku...
[22:23] <Cheri703> my brother likes his
[22:23] <thafreak> but I found the WD unit
[22:23] <Cheri703> he did something where he can set up custom channels
[22:23] <thafreak> which does netflix....and may support hulu plus soon, AND can play local media from samba share
[22:24] <thafreak> yeah I saw that you can write your own...
[22:24] <thafreak> I dunno...the other thing is it seems that roku currently only supports mp4 files with h264 video...
[22:25] <thafreak> if I'm going through the effort to rip my entire dvd collection, I kind of wanted to use a better container format like mkv
[22:25] <Cheri703> I have no idea
[22:25] <thafreak> so I'm kind of leaning towards this WD unit
