[00:00] Oddessy 5 axed after one series [00:00] Jake 2.0 with a main guy from the previosu show, axed after one series [00:00] Terra Nova axed after one series [00:00] * penguin42 never watched any of those [00:00] even though Steven Speilberg was behind that one and such [00:01] penguin42: Terra Nova made it onto Pick TV [00:01] what used to be Sky Three, and now a Freeveiw channel as well etc [00:01] they tend to axe Sci Fi that's my point [00:01] ah yeh I sometimes watch Pick [00:01] or so it seems, and stuff like that [00:01] sebsebseb: I caught a thing called 'The Lost Room' on there a few weeks back - a nice odd little series [00:01] penguin42: finnished off Terra Nova two years later on Pick, since first itme round when was going to watch it well.... [00:02] penguin42: yeah Sky use Pick to get people a taste of Sky 1 shows basically [00:02] Sky 1/2 [00:02] and try and get you to get Sky [00:02] 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 [00:03] penguin42: I think Sky are slighlty worried about BT Sport, so they did that :d [00:03] they need some more proper competition in general realy :) they monopolise like everything otherwise [00:04] is happy for them to monopolise sport; I don't care about it [00:04] no I don't care much about it either in general [00:04] ,but even so, they could do with more proper competiton when it comes to that [00:04] ideally I would like a proper movie channel to compete against Sky Movies, done in a similar way :) [00:05] sebsebseb: But it's being obsoleted by netflix etc [00:05] penguin42: I was just thinking Netflix to though [00:05] why do people go to DRM's Netflix? [00:05] simple since they don;t have Sky Movies [00:05] and that's a lot of people [00:06] 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] surely? [00:06] why pay for boht? [00:07] penguin42: Netflix is annoying as a Linux user, since the Silverlight issue [00:07] but aren't the sky movies etc drmd at the box/hdmi level? [00:07] yeah possbily,but that's differnet [00:07] that's a proper TV [00:07] your not watching stuff online usauly like that [00:07] penguin42: DRM isn't my issue with Netflix realy, it's SIlveright [00:07] and so as a result not being LInux compatible [00:07] I do understnad why they would want some kind of dRM on it htough [00:08] 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] ,but why does it have to be done with technology that isn't Linux compatible? [00:08] penguin42: yep Netflix can be watched on a TV to, if you got what is needed for that [00:09] penguin42: oh any point buying an Ubuntu Edge at this late stage? nope I don't think so [00:09] looks like everyone is going to get re funded [00:10] unless there are like 20 hidden companies who are waiting for the end to spend money on it or something [00:10] 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] shrug [00:10] that's the other sucky thing about the Edge, but that's the site for it really, having to use Paypal [00:11] penguin42: looks like it may not even end at 14 million, have you been following that at all? [00:13] sebsebseb: Only vaguely [00:13] sebsebseb: It's not something I'd buy, my phone cost about #80 [00:14] sebsebseb: But it's good they've gone for a high spec design, it would be nice to see it made [00:26] penguin42: yep [00:38] * penguin42 wonders which is faster, a 1GHz celeron or a 1.5GHz Atom [00:41] hmm [00:41] a modern sandy/ivybridge sort of celeron? [00:44] http://ark.intel.com/products/56056/ [00:45] 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 [00:47] a lot cheaper than the mini-ITX I was considering earlier, big heatsink and in a normal PC chassis should cool well [00:47] mmm [00:48] 1.1GHz is wowzer low [00:51] dual core I think [00:52] just didn't think celery went that low :O [00:52] it's even got VT [00:52] I don't see anything stating power consumption of the board [00:52] yeh I noticed that! [00:52] mm 35nm proc too, [00:53] i wish ark.intel would just say which generation something was [00:53] granted you know on the i-series because they're numbered for the gen [00:54] at that price I'm tempted to just buy it and try [00:54] *nod* [00:55] can put it in an old PC case [00:55] wow a serial port :D [00:56] daftykins: Designed for shoving in things for control I guess [00:56] and hey that's useful [00:56] definitely [00:57] it's the 4 slots which really make i t - 2PCI, 2 PCIe [00:57] some cheaper AV receivers can be updated only over serial [00:58] so I can use two existing PCI network cards and can just buy two more PCIe ones [01:12] but then how silent a silent ATX psu can I get [01:13] you're going to want *some* airflow at least [01:13] even a tiny bit [01:13] i think zalman do some passive PSUs [01:15] maybe one with a very controllable fan === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [08:53] good morning everyone, [08:59] does anyone know if it is possible to see the linux "console" in an amazon ec2 instance? [12:06] myfastforum is down :S [13:36] Afternoon [13:37] hey Popey === KrimZon_ is now known as KrimZon [14:29] * linuxliam is pondering buying a NAS buy i want to be able to run freeNAS on it [14:29] but* [14:34] sounds like a job for that hp microserver [14:53] Good afternoon peeps :) [14:54] yo [14:55] bigcalm: fancy some mc? [14:57] Sure :) [15:02] yay [15:06] * daftykins wonders why people fail to use the third person in /me's [15:10] * bigcalm I do all the time [15:10] :P [15:11] how heavily flawed of you [15:14] * bigcalm has no idea what you're talking about [15:17] uh-huh [16:31] ok. wierdest advert/childs toy/game ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDyOD1C67J0 [16:32] O_O [16:32] Oh my [16:33] That's not nice [16:33] Maybe if it becomes popular, we'll see gangs of kids chasing dogs around with pooper scoopers [16:34] In the "Don't try this at home" type comments you get [16:40] DJones: That is very odd, I assume you're posting that as a reply to Popey's top trumps [16:41] penguin42: Nope, you need to watch the youtube video link [16:42] * penguin42 did [16:42] Just saw it advertised on tv [16:42] Just couldn't believe somebody would even think about turning it into a game [16:42] XD [16:42] it's like something the onion would do [16:43] * penguin42 bets there is a patent on it [16:45] that Plop Trumps was quite fun [16:46] might bring plop trumps to beer train [16:46] 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 [18:53] someone has just sent me a 3gp video to my email address by mistake [18:53] unsure whether to click on it :S [18:53] O_O [18:53] mungbean: is it "adult content"?

[19:03] if the latter play it in a throwaway VM [19:06] i dont wanna see something gross/rude [19:06] moreati: it probably won't play on linux, don't worry ☻ [19:06] forward it to me, I'll test it for you [19:07] \o/ weekly shop has arrived [19:07] it's a hard job but someone has to do it [19:07] No longer mother hubbard [19:08] i watched it [19:09] popey: fancy not having gone to assist :( [19:16] it was footage of some baptism service in the states.
