| ChinnoDog | Anyone here into downloading their TV shows than can explain to me why The Biggest Loser doesn't appear on torrent sites the same night it airs? | 03:36 |
|---|---|---|
| ChinnoDog | It is popular enough it should be everywhere, yet it is nowhere | 03:36 |
| andrew | meh, they did "rock climbing" on the biggest loser tonight. As expected, it wasn't true rock climbing, but rather a via ferrata | 03:38 |
| waltman | Can anyone explain to me why anyone would want to watch The Biggest Loser? | 03:42 |
| pleia2 | ChinnoDog: I am not sure there it a ton over overlap between people who watch reality shows and people who torrent | 03:42 |
| waltman | ...let along spend the time downloading a torrent of it? | 03:42 |
| JonathanD | it'll be on roku | 03:43 |
| JonathanD | get roku | 03:43 |
| ChinnoDog | pleia2: You think the audience is creating this discrepancy? | 03:43 |
| waltman | Where do these torrents come from, anyway? | 03:43 |
| pleia2 | ChinnoDog: yes | 03:43 |
| pleia2 | waltman: people on the internet who record it from their tv | 03:44 |
| pleia2 | and encode, and release | 03:44 |
| ChinnoDog | I watch epsiodes of House and Stargate Universe the same night they come out | 03:44 |
| ChinnoDog | They are posted in less than an hour, downloaded in 15 minutes, on my TV in another 5 | 03:44 |
| pleia2 | geeks like house an stargate | 03:45 |
| pleia2 | geeks don't like reality shows that aren't documentary-style | 03:45 |
| waltman | Geeks like Mythbusters | 03:47 |
| waltman | Speaking of which, I just discovered that Mythbusters has begun producing a short "after-show" the day after a new show airs, where they spend a few minutes answering viewer questions about the episode. | 03:48 |
| waltman | I realize this is a dumb question, but couldn't you watch House and SGU the same night they come out by watching them on your tv set? | 03:49 |
| ChinnoDog | I don't have cable | 03:53 |
| ChinnoDog | And I'm not going to get it for two shows I can download | 03:53 |
| waltman | So you're basically stealing the shows? | 03:53 |
| waltman | 3. What about Biggest Loser? | 03:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I don't watch that, I am just curious | 03:54 |
| ChinnoDog | Someone complained they missed it, I thought I would find a torrent for it instantly, i was wrong | 03:55 |
| ChinnoDog | TBL is posted on Hulu the next day. That might be why. I found an open source Hulu downloader. I guess that is the best it is going to get. | 04:03 |
| ChinnoDog | PennBot: Open Source Hulu downloader is http://sourceforge.net/projects/tubemaster/ | 04:04 |
| PennBot | Gotcha! | 04:04 |
| ChinnoDog | PennBot knows all | 04:04 |
| PennBot | Wish I knew, ChinnoDog. | 04:04 |
| ChinnoDog | PennBot is just being modest | 04:05 |
| PennBot | I don't have a clue. | 04:05 |
| waltman | Couldn't the person who missed it just watch it themselves on Hulu tomorrow? | 04:08 |
| * waltman wears his luddite hat proudly | 04:08 | |
| ChinnoDog | waltman: They could, but not necessarily on their TV | 04:14 |
| waltman | Yes, I can see why it would be important to watch a show like that on a big screen :) | 04:16 |
| ChinnoDog | Is that sarcasm? | 04:16 |
| andrew | No, he just wants to see the whole picture | 04:16 |
| ChinnoDog | k. I'm done researching shows I don't actually watch. Sheep counting time. | 04:19 |
| pleia2 | hulu_plus++ | 04:20 |
| waltman | I should just accept that I'm a different sort of media consumer than most geeks :) | 04:23 |
| pleia2 | yes, probably | 04:24 |
| waltman | like, I mostly watch live tv | 04:24 |
| waltman | If I started downloading torrents of shows I'd just end up with a hd full of shows that I'd never watch. | 04:25 |
| pleia2 | we plugged our tv into the wall and it gets the discovery channel | 04:25 |
| waltman | what more do you need, really? | 04:25 |
| pleia2 | mythbusters is cool, but mostly their shows are about logging and gold mining | 04:25 |
| pleia2 | it's very odd | 04:26 |
| waltman | they occasionally have different shows on sunday night | 04:26 |
| pleia2 | like attack of the killer boars! | 04:26 |
| waltman | Yay! | 04:26 |
| pleia2 | oh, right now it's deadliest catch | 04:26 |
| waltman | speaking of nature, I have to take issue with your Puerto Rico blogging! | 04:26 |
| pleia2 | yeah? | 04:27 |
| PennBot | Somebody said yeah is it any good? i have one right near the mall, pleia2 | 04:27 |
| pleia2 | @botsnack | 04:27 |
| PennBot | Nom nom nom | 04:27 |
| waltman | PR is *not* the home of the only rain forest in the USA. | 04:27 |
| pleia2 | oh, where is another? | 04:27 |
| pleia2 | maybe it's the only national park rainforest | 04:27 |
| waltman | There are also tropical rainforests in Hawaii, and there are some temperate rain forests along the coast in Washington. | 04:28 |
| pleia2 | oh, nice | 04:28 |
| waltman | HA is home to one of the rainiest sports on the planet | 04:28 |
| waltman | spots | 04:28 |
| pleia2 | I'll have to go to Hawaii some time | 04:29 |
| pleia2 | they also have volcanos! | 04:29 |
| waltman | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoh_Rainforest | 04:29 |
| PennBot | Title: Hoh Rainforest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (at en.wikipedia.org) | 04:29 |
| pleia2 | nice | 04:29 |
| pleia2 | "the only rainforest that belongs to the U.S. Forest Service" | 04:30 |
| waltman | aha | 04:30 |
| pleia2 | there, fixed :) | 04:31 |
| waltman | yay | 04:35 |

| * IdleOne has a cheese steak being delivered should be here around 9PM | 20:56 | |
| waltman | That's a long time to wait for a cheesesteak! | 20:57 |
| IdleOne | worth the wait, my kids are bringing it to me :) | 20:58 |
| pleia2 | yay :) | 20:58 |
| IdleOne | pigs in poop got nothing on me right now :) | 20:58 |
| IdleOne | there is no word to express the happiness I am feeling | 20:59 |
| ChinnoDog | lamalex: What is your reason for being a vegetarian? | 21:10 |
| lamalex | dont have one | 21:11 |
| ChinnoDog | You just dislike meat? | 21:12 |
| lamalex | no | 21:21 |
| ChinnoDog | You don't think you should need a reason to be a vegetarian? | 21:23 |
| lamalex | no, do you need a reason to eat meat? | 21:29 |
| ChinnoDog | No, but I need a reason to not eat food when I am hungry and it is available | 21:30 |
| lamalex | you're missing the big picture | 21:32 |
| lamalex | (hint: it's a sailboat) | 21:45 |
| ChinnoDog | lamalex: what do sailboats have to do with being a vegetarian? | 22:50 |
| rmg51 | there's prolly a female involved somewhere | 23:10 |
