[01:37] Is there any way to watch Netflix streaming video without a virtual machine running Windows? [01:38] I dont netflix. so i cant help you [01:38] ChinnoDog, sadly I doubt moonlight can work on the netflix website [01:38] maybe if boxee found a way in their linux distro [01:38] you could replicate it [01:39] http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/faq.aspx [01:39] Title: Moonlight - Frequently Asked Questions (at www.go-mono.com) [01:39] ChinnoDog, what type of movies do you netflix? [01:39] hmm, moonlight can't do it because it doesn't support DRM [01:54] BeckySanderlin_x: all sorts. The library is pretty big. When my xbox was set up I watched movies on it frequently [01:54] mikedep334: So, VM only? :-( [01:55] hmm [01:55] ChinnoDog, maybe boxee box's variant of ubuntu has something [01:56] ChinnoDog: I'm just waiting for Chrome to support netflix [01:57] (there are rumors of a netflix version for html5 in chrome) [01:57] I saw the rumor but I want to watch TV now, not in the unforseen future [01:57] Ok, forgive my ignorance.. what exactly is boxee? [01:57] I watch netflix on my phone [01:58] and my tv [01:58] both of which run linux kernels, which makes me kind of sad that it doesn't work on my desktop :) [01:58] Where do you get the streaming Netflix app? [01:58] (for your phone) [01:58] android store [01:58] market [01:58] whatever it is [01:58] just searched for netflix [01:58] I searched for "netflix" but there aren't any official apps, and the rest look like queue managers [01:58] came out last month [01:59] https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient&hl=en [02:00] what version of android does your phone run? [02:00] Not compatible with my phone :0 [02:00] aw [02:00] It runs 2.3 now [02:01] Anyway, back to watching it on my Ubuntu desktop... Boxee? What is it? [02:01] PennBot: boxee? [02:01] Wish I knew! [02:02] http://www.boxee.tv/ [02:02] Title: Boxee - Watch Movies, TV Shows and clips from the Internet on your TV. (at www.boxee.tv) [02:02] it's a device [02:02] you can buy them, or make them with hardware you buy [02:02] I'm reading that. But, there is also a pic of a phone with the boxee logo on it [02:05] I could build an ultra low footprint Windows VM for watching Netflix but that seems silly [02:06] oh. Well, my monitor has a VGA cable on it. I could just be lazy and plug the VGA cable into my laptop and play movies from there [02:07] lazy++ [02:07] That will be good for now. [02:10] need food [02:10] * ChinnoDog ponders options [02:13] v/me has chocolate :-[ [02:14] opps [02:14] * teddy-dbear has chocolate :-[ [02:14] that's better [02:16] I have that too but it isn't dinner [02:17] it is for me! :-D [10:37] Not dinner time anymore [10:39] almost breakfast time [11:00] Morning. [11:16] Now, its breakfast time, JonathanD has said Morning. [11:16] :) [11:23] morning JonathanD [11:23] breakfast time [11:23] morning rmg51 [11:25] o/ [12:47] JonathanD: I need to catch a 7:37 AM train tomorrow morning :( [12:50] Amazingly, according to Septa's schedule, they actually run trains at that hour! [12:53] Morning everyone [12:59] waltman: heh :) [13:07] JonathanD: I mean, who knew? [13:39] Breakfast DONE ! and it is still such a fine morning, been outside yet to yenjoy? [14:03] I prefer to get my hard drives curbside, the're free. [14:09] wootoff [14:14] Looks interesting, thanks. [14:14] I should get that TV. WOuld make an ok monitor :) [14:21] I haven't hooked up a computer to a TV since my Commodore 64 days, what would you need to use that TV as a monitor? [14:52] n2diy: why not? [14:52] LCD TVs make perfectly acceptable monitors. [14:55] Hmmmm, 60" monitor ! [14:56] 108" or bust [15:25] JonathanD, because I haven't owned a TV since 2001. What would you need to hook up a TV to a computer now a days? [15:25] n2diy: they aren't just TVs anymore. [15:26] It's not like the old days, where you did some sort of conversion to RCA or Svid [15:26] n2diy: The connection is over VGA. It's a "real monitor" [15:27] JonathanD, so, the TV would have an VGA connector on it, or SVGA? [15:29] 15 pin SVGA. [15:30] You can then use it at it's native resolution (or any other supported res) as a normal monitor. [15:31] JonathanD, Is that a D connector, or the round, yellow PS2 style connector? [15:31] n2diy: thats the blue D connector. [15:31] same as any monitor. [15:32] The other you are thinking of is svideo, which is much lower quality output. [15:33] JonathanD, This is a cool, I'll have to look into it, I'm setting up a computer for my landlord, and he has bad eyesight, so I'm sure he'd rather use is TV than any monitor. [15:33] is/his [15:43] if the TV is suitable, it may work for you. [16:25] pleia2: thanks for the help the other day [16:26] sure thing [16:34] pleia2: Did you see that the Philadelphia Zoo has BABY VAMPIRE BATS?

[16:36] so cute :) [16:36] tiny little fangs! [16:36] for drinking blood! [16:36] (and momma bat milk) [16:37] It's been too long since I've been to the zoo :( [16:38] This time of year I see the Zoo Balloon every morning on my way in on the train [16:42] it's a good zoo, they put in a new big cats exhibit a few years ago that's quite nice [16:42] no more elephants though :( [16:43] :( [16:43] sf zoo doesn't have elephants anymore either, have to go to oakland for them [16:44] turns out they don't do very well in small enclosures, so zoos which are keeping their elephants have had to invest a lot in upgrading their homes [16:44] Wow, not only two baseball teams, but two zoos, too? [16:45] yeah! [16:45] I haven't been to the oakland zoo yet [16:45] but I am going to an A's game tomorrow evening :) [16:45] Yay! [16:47] (even if it is just the Royals...) [17:01] the best A's game I went to was when they were playing the mariners :) [17:02] before Ken Griffey, Jr retired!
