[10:44] we must just win... I don't care about the chamionship [10:44] quite a task set for the boks to overcome the number 1 team in the world hey [10:45] well, if any team can do it you would have to imagine it is the number 2 team :) [10:45] good afternoon [10:45] hi nlsthzn [10:45] hi Kilos [10:45] more than 4 tries and must win by more than 7 points [10:45] hi charl_ [10:45] and not let them score 4 tried either [10:45] hello charl_ [10:45] *tries [10:46] ? [10:46] try's [10:46] them things [10:46] druk n drie wat 5 punte tel [10:47] possible 7 of them points things [10:47] :p [10:47] hehe [10:47] I will again miss the first half :/ as I will be coming from work... [10:48] but at least I get to see the important bit [10:48] ai! [10:49] I am not in the channel enough these days... so many names I don't recognize :p [10:50] ya new peeps been popping up [10:50] lekker [10:50] tell me about ssd drives [10:50] they are fast [10:50] expensive [10:50] where do they plugin? [10:51] normal sata port. i googled and it said sata3 [10:51] Sound right [10:51] *sounds [10:51] they will need high throughput or they are pointless [10:51] ian told me he found a site in china that sells 500g sdd's for 15$ [10:51] you get what you pay for [10:51] so whats a sata3 then [10:52] another kind of port [10:52] you use sata to connect your hdd [10:52] and then sata 2 came out which had more bandwidth [10:52] and I have to assume sata 3 even more [10:52] not sure if there is a physical difference between 2 and 3 [10:53] so that means anoth m/board then? [10:53] depending on the age of the old one, yes [10:53] you using sata or ide? [10:53] sata [10:53] dual core p4 [10:54] also ian is scared that site is a scam place [10:54] may be, or just poor quality [10:54] last thing you want to do is loose your data [10:54] sata 3 seems to be backwards compatible with sata 2... [10:55] you cant fight someone in china from here if they dont send stuff after you have deposited the money [10:55] but there is sata 3.1 and sata 3.2 specifications already too now [10:55] yup [10:55] eish [10:55] and if they send you crap your still stuck with it [10:55] yeah [10:56] I would be weary of the place [10:56] yeah [10:56] SSD are still much more expensive than normal HDD [11:01] is there anyone here that knows if/how netflix runs on ubuntu [11:02] on the site they say "pc and mac" but it's never clear what they mean under "pc" - does that mean "windows"? [11:05] 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] but in the comments some people seem to be having problems [11:06] i never understand why these people can't just implement html5 [11:06] stream videos over webm or something [11:07] i'm not exactly tempted to pay 8 euro per months for this [11:10] bbl [11:18] charl_, I know there was a way... if it is still possible I don't know [11:18] as for not using html5 it has to do with DRM [11:19] 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 [11:20] that's terrible [11:20] charl_, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-watch-lovefilm-redbox-instant-or-netflix-on-ubuntu [11:20] the w3c just sold us out [11:21] drm is nonsense in any case and easily bypassed [11:21] seems there is a modified wine thingy that can be used [11:21] not always sure about easy but there normally is someone clever enough to do it :) [11:21] ooh but the performance is gonna suck right [11:21] on wine [11:22] depends [11:22] video not so demanding [11:22] i can't believe after all the negative sentiment about drm the w3c is actually going through with it [11:22] i know it has been an openstanding question for a long time [11:22] also for your interest - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/10/lowering-your-standards [11:22] video can be pretty demanding if it's high quality [11:23] 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] then i should also add i use an intel hd graphics card so that might have something to do with it [11:24] i didn't want to use nvidia/radeon cause then i sit in driver mess again with linux [11:24] well I don't know why your pc is struggling... [11:24] it shouldn't [11:25] my phone doesn't [11:25] my arm netbook does sure [11:26] * 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 [11:35] 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] but now we are talking high quality video with flac and what not [11:35] like 16gb for 1 hour of material for example [11:36] not an overcompressed low quality 1080p video [11:36] and even then 98% of the time the video plays fine [11:37] but the cpu use is *high* [11:37] i can literally hear the fan in the laptop blowing :P [11:47] great article up on eff - way to go [11:51] you expecting 16gb worth of video from netflix ? :p [11:52] that's a good question [11:52] how good is their overall quality [12:04] dunno... [12:04] never used it as I am not in a country they support... [12:04] ok i should just sign up for a free trial and test it [12:04] but i know enough now, thanks ! [12:05] hope it works out for you :) [13:58] wb Kilos [13:58] ty charl_ [15:29] bah apparently to do a trial on netflix you already need to give them all your banking details [15:29] i think i'll pass [15:30] read a review and the quality of the video leaves much to be desired [15:30] apparently it's slightly better than SD [17:50] night all. sleep tight [19:47] hi Cantide [19:50] hello charl_ :) [19:51] how's it going [19:54] well :) [19:54] just busy packing frantically, so please excuse the delayed responses [19:54] how about you?
