| sebsebseb | Oddessy 5 axed after one series | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| sebsebseb | Jake 2.0 with a main guy from the previosu show, axed after one series | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | Terra Nova axed after one series | 00:00 |
| * penguin42 never watched any of those | 00:00 | |
| sebsebseb | even though Steven Speilberg was behind that one and such | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: Terra Nova made it onto Pick TV | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | what used to be Sky Three, and now a Freeveiw channel as well etc | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | they tend to axe Sci Fi that's my point | 00:01 |
| penguin42 | ah yeh I sometimes watch Pick | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | or so it seems, and stuff like that | 00:01 |
| penguin42 | sebsebseb: I caught a thing called 'The Lost Room' on there a few weeks back - a nice odd little series | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: finnished off Terra Nova two years later on Pick, since first itme round when was going to watch it well.... | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: yeah Sky use Pick to get people a taste of Sky 1 shows basically | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | Sky 1/2 | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | and try and get you to get Sky | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: however apparnatly that was also showing the two premiure league games and such earlier, or at least on Freeview etc, when I put it on it just showed normal Pick stuff, but Sky 2 for the games etc | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: I think Sky are slighlty worried about BT Sport, so they did that :d | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | they need some more proper competition in general realy :) they monopolise like everything otherwise | 00:03 |
| penguin42 | is happy for them to monopolise sport; I don't care about it | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | no I don't care much about it either in general | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | ,but even so, they could do with more proper competiton when it comes to that | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | ideally I would like a proper movie channel to compete against Sky Movies, done in a similar way :) | 00:04 |
| penguin42 | sebsebseb: But it's being obsoleted by netflix etc | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: I was just thinking Netflix to though | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | why do people go to DRM's Netflix? | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | simple since they don;t have Sky Movies | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | and that's a lot of people | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | well some might have it that do as well, but if you have good movie channels, your less likely to use some streaming service with DRM | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | surely? | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | why pay for boht? | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: Netflix is annoying as a Linux user, since the Silverlight issue | 00:07 |
| penguin42 | but aren't the sky movies etc drmd at the box/hdmi level? | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | yeah possbily,but that's differnet | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | that's a proper TV | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | your not watching stuff online usauly like that | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: DRM isn't my issue with Netflix realy, it's SIlveright | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | and so as a result not being LInux compatible | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | I do understnad why they would want some kind of dRM on it htough | 00:07 |
| penguin42 | right but I can watch it on a suitably equipped TV - so no worse than any of the other things I need a TV for | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | ,but why does it have to be done with technology that isn't Linux compatible? | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: yep Netflix can be watched on a TV to, if you got what is needed for that | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: oh any point buying an Ubuntu Edge at this late stage? nope I don't think so | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | looks like everyone is going to get re funded | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | unless there are like 20 hidden companies who are waiting for the end to spend money on it or something | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: to be honest I nearly bought one before, but I knew I probably woudn't have been able to , but trie anyway, but knew probably woudn't work, since some Paypal issues | 00:10 |
| penguin42 | shrug | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | that's the other sucky thing about the Edge, but that's the site for it really, having to use Paypal | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: looks like it may not even end at 14 million, have you been following that at all? | 00:11 |
| penguin42 | sebsebseb: Only vaguely | 00:13 |
| penguin42 | sebsebseb: It's not something I'd buy, my phone cost about #80 | 00:13 |
| penguin42 | sebsebseb: But it's good they've gone for a high spec design, it would be nice to see it made | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | penguin42: yep | 00:26 |
| * penguin42 wonders which is faster, a 1GHz celeron or a 1.5GHz Atom | 00:38 | |
| daftykins | hmm | 00:41 |
| daftykins | a modern sandy/ivybridge sort of celeron? | 00:41 |
| penguin42 | http://ark.intel.com/products/56056/ | 00:44 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: In particular one of these: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-c847ms-e33-intel-nm70-intel-celeron-847-ddr3-sata-iii-pcie-20-%28x16%29-d-sub-hdmi-matx | 00:45 |
| penguin42 | a lot cheaper than the mini-ITX I was considering earlier, big heatsink and in a normal PC chassis should cool well | 00:47 |
| daftykins | mmm | 00:47 |
| daftykins | 1.1GHz is wowzer low | 00:48 |
| penguin42 | dual core I think | 00:51 |
| daftykins | just didn't think celery went that low :O | 00:52 |
| daftykins | it's even got VT | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | I don't see anything stating power consumption of the board | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | yeh I noticed that! | 00:52 |
| daftykins | mm 35nm proc too, | 00:52 |
| daftykins | i wish ark.intel would just say which generation something was | 00:53 |
| daftykins | granted you know on the i-series because they're numbered for the gen | 00:53 |
| penguin42 | at that price I'm tempted to just buy it and try | 00:54 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 00:54 |
| penguin42 | can put it in an old PC case | 00:55 |
| daftykins | wow a serial port :D | 00:55 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Designed for shoving in things for control I guess | 00:56 |
| penguin42 | and hey that's useful | 00:56 |
| daftykins | definitely | 00:56 |
| penguin42 | it's the 4 slots which really make i t - 2PCI, 2 PCIe | 00:57 |
| daftykins | some cheaper AV receivers can be updated only over serial | 00:57 |
| penguin42 | so I can use two existing PCI network cards and can just buy two more PCIe ones | 00:58 |
| penguin42 | but then how silent a silent ATX psu can I get | 01:12 |
| daftykins | you're going to want *some* airflow at least | 01:13 |
| daftykins | even a tiny bit | 01:13 |
| daftykins | i think zalman do some passive PSUs | 01:13 |
| penguin42 | maybe one with a very controllable fan | 01:15 |

| * linuxliam is pondering buying a NAS buy i want to be able to run freeNAS on it | 14:29 | |
| linuxliam | but* | 14:29 |
| shauno | sounds like a job for that hp microserver | 14:34 |
| bigcalm | Good afternoon peeps :) | 14:53 |
| popey | yo | 14:54 |
| popey | bigcalm: fancy some mc? | 14:55 |
| bigcalm | Sure :) | 14:57 |
| popey | yay | 15:02 |
| * daftykins wonders why people fail to use the third person in /me's | 15:06 | |
| * bigcalm I do all the time | 15:10 | |
| bigcalm | :P | 15:10 |
| daftykins | how heavily flawed of you | 15:11 |
| * bigcalm has no idea what you're talking about | 15:14 | |
| daftykins | uh-huh | 15:17 |
| DJones | ok. wierdest advert/childs toy/game ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDyOD1C67J0 | 16:31 |
| daftykins | O_O | 16:32 |
| bigcalm | Oh my | 16:32 |
| bigcalm | That's not nice | 16:33 |
| DJones | Maybe if it becomes popular, we'll see gangs of kids chasing dogs around with pooper scoopers | 16:33 |
| DJones | In the "Don't try this at home" type comments you get | 16:34 |
| penguin42 | DJones: That is very odd, I assume you're posting that as a reply to Popey's top trumps | 16:40 |
| DJones | penguin42: Nope, you need to watch the youtube video link | 16:41 |
| * penguin42 did | 16:42 | |
| DJones | Just saw it advertised on tv | 16:42 |
| DJones | Just couldn't believe somebody would even think about turning it into a game | 16:42 |
| daftykins | XD | 16:42 |
| daftykins | it's like something the onion would do | 16:42 |
| * penguin42 bets there is a patent on it | 16:43 | |
| popey | that Plop Trumps was quite fun | 16:45 |
| popey | might bring plop trumps to beer train | 16:46 |
| DJones | I wouldn't be too sure about that, you'd think whoever signed the application would be too ashamed/embarresed, they'd never have any 'street cred' again | 16:46 |
| mungbean | someone has just sent me a 3gp video to my email address by mistake | 18:53 |
| mungbean | unsure whether to click on it :S | 18:53 |
| daftykins | O_O | 18:53 |
| MartijnVdS | mungbean: is it "adult content"? | 18:53 |
| daftykins | could be... risky | 18:53 |
| linuxliam | using XML files to automatically change backgrounds works but the transitions are laggy | 19:00 |
| linuxliam | any ideas | 19:00 |
| moreati | mungbean: are you worried about legal implications or security exploits? | 19:03 |
| moreati | if the latter play it in a throwaway VM | 19:03 |
| mungbean | i dont wanna see something gross/rude | 19:06 |
| popey | moreati: it probably won't play on linux, don't worry ☻ | 19:06 |
| popey | forward it to me, I'll test it for you | 19:06 |
