| nlsthzn | well, if any team can do it you would have to imagine it is the number 2 team :) | 10:45 |
| charl_ | good afternoon | 10:45 |
| charl_ | hi nlsthzn | 10:45 |
| charl_ | hi Kilos | 10:45 |
| Kilos | more than 4 tries and must win by more than 7 points | 10:45 |
| Kilos | hi charl_ | 10:45 |
| nlsthzn | and not let them score 4 tried either | 10:45 |
| nlsthzn | hello charl_ | 10:45 |
| nlsthzn | *tries | 10:45 |
| Kilos | ? | 10:46 |
| Kilos | try's | 10:46 |

| nlsthzn | :p | 10:47 |
| Kilos | hehe | 10:47 |
| nlsthzn | I will again miss the first half :/ as I will be coming from work... | 10:47 |
| nlsthzn | but at least I get to see the important bit | 10:48 |
| Kilos | ai! | 10:48 |
| nlsthzn | I am not in the channel enough these days... so many names I don't recognize :p | 10:49 |
| Kilos | ya new peeps been popping up | 10:50 |
| Kilos | lekker | 10:50 |
| Kilos | tell me about ssd drives | 10:50 |
| nlsthzn | they are fast | 10:50 |
| nlsthzn | expensive | 10:50 |
| Kilos | where do they plugin? | 10:50 |
| Kilos | normal sata port. i googled and it said sata3 | 10:51 |
| nlsthzn | Sound right | 10:51 |
| nlsthzn | *sounds | 10:51 |
| nlsthzn | they will need high throughput or they are pointless | 10:51 |
| Kilos | ian told me he found a site in china that sells 500g sdd's for 15$ | 10:51 |
| nlsthzn | you get what you pay for | 10:51 |
| Kilos | so whats a sata3 then | 10:51 |
| Kilos | another kind of port | 10:52 |
| nlsthzn | you use sata to connect your hdd | 10:52 |
| nlsthzn | and then sata 2 came out which had more bandwidth | 10:52 |
| nlsthzn | and I have to assume sata 3 even more | 10:52 |
| nlsthzn | not sure if there is a physical difference between 2 and 3 | 10:52 |
| Kilos | so that means anoth m/board then? | 10:53 |
| nlsthzn | depending on the age of the old one, yes | 10:53 |
| nlsthzn | you using sata or ide? | 10:53 |
| Kilos | sata | 10:53 |
| Kilos | dual core p4 | 10:53 |
| Kilos | also ian is scared that site is a scam place | 10:54 |
| nlsthzn | may be, or just poor quality | 10:54 |
| nlsthzn | last thing you want to do is loose your data | 10:54 |
| nlsthzn | sata 3 seems to be backwards compatible with sata 2... | 10:54 |
| Kilos | you cant fight someone in china from here if they dont send stuff after you have deposited the money | 10:55 |
| nlsthzn | but there is sata 3.1 and sata 3.2 specifications already too now | 10:55 |
| nlsthzn | yup | 10:55 |
| Kilos | eish | 10:55 |
| nlsthzn | and if they send you crap your still stuck with it | 10:55 |
| Kilos | yeah | 10:55 |
| nlsthzn | I would be weary of the place | 10:56 |
| Kilos | yeah | 10:56 |
| nlsthzn | SSD are still much more expensive than normal HDD | 10:56 |
| charl_ | is there anyone here that knows if/how netflix runs on ubuntu | 11:01 |
| charl_ | on the site they say "pc and mac" but it's never clear what they mean under "pc" - does that mean "windows"? | 11:02 |
| charl_ | after some googling it seems like the best way would be to add a ppa and then you can launch a kind of application | 11:05 |
| charl_ | but in the comments some people seem to be having problems | 11:05 |
| charl_ | i never understand why these people can't just implement html5 | 11:06 |
| charl_ | stream videos over webm or something | 11:06 |
| charl_ | i'm not exactly tempted to pay 8 euro per months for this | 11:07 |
| Kilos | bbl | 11:10 |
| nlsthzn | charl_, I know there was a way... if it is still possible I don't know | 11:18 |
| nlsthzn | as for not using html5 it has to do with DRM | 11:18 |
| nlsthzn | but I just read that the WC3 will start to make DRM a standard so expect it to becoming to everything on the web soon | 11:19 |
| charl_ | that's terrible | 11:20 |
| nlsthzn | charl_, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-watch-lovefilm-redbox-instant-or-netflix-on-ubuntu | 11:20 |
| charl_ | the w3c just sold us out | 11:20 |
| charl_ | drm is nonsense in any case and easily bypassed | 11:21 |
| nlsthzn | seems there is a modified wine thingy that can be used | 11:21 |
| nlsthzn | not always sure about easy but there normally is someone clever enough to do it :) | 11:21 |
| charl_ | ooh but the performance is gonna suck right | 11:21 |
| charl_ | on wine | 11:21 |
| nlsthzn | depends | 11:22 |
| nlsthzn | video not so demanding | 11:22 |
| charl_ | i can't believe after all the negative sentiment about drm the w3c is actually going through with it | 11:22 |
| charl_ | i know it has been an openstanding question for a long time | 11:22 |
| nlsthzn | also for your interest - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/10/lowering-your-standards | 11:22 |
| charl_ | video can be pretty demanding if it's high quality | 11:22 |
| charl_ | i have an intel core i3 with hyperthreading in this laptop and it struggles to keep up with high quality 1080p mp4 video | 11:23 |
| charl_ | then i should also add i use an intel hd graphics card so that might have something to do with it | 11:23 |
| charl_ | i didn't want to use nvidia/radeon cause then i sit in driver mess again with linux | 11:24 |
| nlsthzn | well I don't know why your pc is struggling... | 11:24 |
| nlsthzn | it shouldn't | 11:24 |
| nlsthzn | my phone doesn't | 11:25 |
| nlsthzn | my arm netbook does sure | 11:25 |
| * nlsthzn re-installed windows again on his desktop just because it is a nightmare to get native resolution on my monitor with nvidia drivers and linux... sucks | 11:26 | |
| charl_ | no for most of the time the video plays fine but then when you get a sudden action scene and a lot of pixels have to be drawn it starts to falter | 11:35 |
| charl_ | but now we are talking high quality video with flac and what not | 11:35 |
| charl_ | like 16gb for 1 hour of material for example | 11:35 |
| charl_ | not an overcompressed low quality 1080p video | 11:36 |
| charl_ | and even then 98% of the time the video plays fine | 11:36 |
| charl_ | but the cpu use is *high* | 11:37 |
| charl_ | i can literally hear the fan in the laptop blowing :P | 11:37 |
| charl_ | great article up on eff - way to go | 11:47 |
| nlsthzn | you expecting 16gb worth of video from netflix ? :p | 11:51 |
| charl_ | that's a good question | 11:52 |
| charl_ | how good is their overall quality | 11:52 |
| nlsthzn | dunno... | 12:04 |
| nlsthzn | never used it as I am not in a country they support... | 12:04 |
| charl_ | ok i should just sign up for a free trial and test it | 12:04 |
| charl_ | but i know enough now, thanks ! | 12:04 |
| nlsthzn | hope it works out for you :) | 12:05 |
| charl_ | wb Kilos | 13:58 |
| Kilos | ty charl_ | 13:58 |
| charl_ | bah apparently to do a trial on netflix you already need to give them all your banking details | 15:29 |
| charl_ | i think i'll pass | 15:29 |
| charl_ | read a review and the quality of the video leaves much to be desired | 15:30 |
| charl_ | apparently it's slightly better than SD | 15:30 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 17:50 |
| charl_ | hi Cantide | 19:47 |
| Cantide | hello charl_ :) | 19:50 |

| charl_ | looking at the wikipedia page now, sinchon looks like a nice place to live | 20:02 |
| Cantide | yeah, i think it's mostly students who live in that area | 20:05 |
| Cantide | because of the universities around there | 20:05 |
| Cantide | should be fun :) | 20:05 |
| Cantide | well, depending on the apartment that i get, i might have a space on the floor / couch :p | 20:05 |
| Cantide | oooor, i have a friend that rents out a room for cheap :p i could hook you up :p | 20:05 |
| Cantide | this is the one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinchon-dong | 20:07 |
| Cantide | in case you found the wrong place on wikipedia :p | 20:07 |
| charl_ | yes that's the one | 20:09 |
| Cantide | (assuming i find an apartment there) | 20:09 |
