<0> why are you using gpm and X at once?
<1> furrywolf: uknova.com .. Do you subscribe and sort of download video file or what?
<0> Cognition: yes
<1> are they doing this legally?
<0> torrent files, minimum 0.8 share ratio or you get banned.
<0> probably not. :)
<1> and do they have shows from HBO .. say Rome or Bill Maher .. stuff like that?
<0> although the chances of the bbc, channel4, etc coming after you in kuwait are exceptionally slim...
<0> no. it has uk tv shows.
<2> Arsenios: there's plenty of HOW-TOs about mouse wheel in X
<3> yes and I have prolly flitered though most of them.
<1> what's a share ratio? do you mean you _have to_ upload back to the server?
<0> yes
<0> to other users
<2> there's nothing wrong with running X and gpm at the same time
<1> furrywolf: **** that, I need american TV
<1> damn there should be some legal way of doing this!
<0> bah, things aren't funny unless they explode or get shot at? :P
<0> you're trying to watch something free for free. if the mpaa lets you do that, the terrorists have won!
<1> ok, I think I found something ..
<1> http://www.nettvbroadcasts.com/index.asp?PID=ca0cb18e-3378-43eb-ae3a-f879c5b0868a&gclid=CIDnj7GY2YkCFRFBgQodfF4i4Q
<1> If this works, I'm a happy guy :)
<1> I won't get HBO .. but I'll live :)
<0> hrmm, that site seems... fishy.
<0> and note that the tech support page doesn't list any phone numbers... they're just blank.
<1> it was the top (pre paid google) Ad
<1> http://www.google.com/search?q=streaming+american+TV+on+the+net&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial
<1> Second Link under "Watch TV on your PC"
<0> and the license has weird things like "All recommendations refer to software or video streams that are available without charge to individuals at large for specific purposes."
<1> so?
<0> it all talks about reccomending video streams, and the way it's worded, makes them sound like 3rd parties...
<1> well they are aren't they? they don't _own_ the channels that they're streaming
<0> ok, it looks to me like a scam. but if you want to try anyway...
<0> use a prepaid credit card. :)
<1> ya think?
<1> does google allow Spam sponsored links?
<0> and if you even do get to download something that might play videos (and they don't just clean out your credit card), it sounds like it's full of spyware, adware, and other crap.
<0> and redirected to yet another site...
<0> and that site is identical to about 97 other sites
<0> with different names
<0> http://www.free-satellite-network.com/ for example. (different logo and name, but exact same format, page names, contents, etc)
<0> http://www.directtvnetworks.com/ is even more identical.
<0> I don't know if it's a scam or not, but I know it's fishy. :P
<1> you're right
<1> but i'm so tempted
<1> let's see if that other website has a phone number
<0> I would only consider signing up for something like that with a prepaid credit card, and only install said software in vmware...
<1> no phone
<1> ok, No phone, no deal
<4> just started reading, what is someone trying to do, get the tv to stream over the internet
<2> especially american tv i hear only bad opinions about
<4> or get a internet based tv service?
<1> seavy: streaming American TV and if possible HBO on the net
<0> balrog-kun: yeah, I gave him a non-scam UK tv site, but he insists he has to have american tv. :)
<3> whats the command to make a ext2 fs?
<4> do you already have tv? if so, check out slingbox
<0> mkfs.ext2
<1> furrywolf: dude I don't want to watch some dumb*** British series about the royal family or **** :)
<3> ty
<0> Cognition: ... is that what you think british tv is? lol
<4> do you already have an hbo subscription with you local cable??
<1> whatever it is, I need American news, American music, American shows, and my beloved HBO
<1> uh-huh, but i'm moving away
<5> haha Real Madrid are getting their *** kicked by Real Betis
<4> just you?
<1> uh-huh
<4> is someone still gonna be at the house, with the HBO and cable
<4> ?
<1> no
<0> Cognition: right now, The Simpsons are playing on channel4
<4> there in lies the problem
<4> slingbox works if you HAVE cable
<1> furrywolf: I need most of the shows in Discovery/Science channel (survivorman, how it's made, the physics shows, etc ...)
<4> so, scratch that, unless you know someone with cable and that will allow you to hook a slingbox up in there house
<2> well, i've seen UK tv sometimes as opposed to american, but i can't say anything good about it either :p
<4> Discovery is my fave channel
<2> but my opinions are biased in this regard :p
<5> Cognition why not come here and get a Showtime TV card
<1> furrywolf: and I need someone with an Accent that I can understand i.e. American reading the news. CNN would be good :)
<0> Cognition: you might just be stuck with isohunt.
<5> www.showtimearabia.com
<4> http://us.slingmedia.com incase you are interested
<0> british accents are easy to understand. texans are the weird ones. :)
<4> g2g
<1> Al-Ashtar: oh that **** is disgusting. Movie I and II and some dumb*** arabic movies channel :) no thanks
<2> what program can create tar archives other than tar?
<1> furrywolf: how about mid america :)
<1> God what should I do .. blow the CEO of comcast or something!
<0> survivorman... I think I caught that at a hotel once. some guy pretends to be stranded somewhere, yet camera equipment magically follows him around?
<1> furrywolf: nope, he carries all the cameras himself
<5> my friend sent me an sms messege saying that the guy who drew all the pictures on prophet mohammed has died
<5> how can I make sure ?
<1> Al-Ashtar: it wasn't only one guy, it was a bunch of'em
<0> you can be sure he's wrong, because every image was drawn by a different person.
<5> yeah, but one guy started it all
<1> Al-Ashtar: and sorry to tell you this, but there is no better place for lies and rumors than the middle east, so take it with a grain of alst
<1> alst/salt
<0> nah, america is bad too.
<1> Al-Ashtar: nope, it was a news editor and a publisher and a few others. It's not around _one_ person trust me.
<0> the difference here is the government pretends not to be involved
<1> In the middle east they still don't know what free speech is, they consider attacks on religion as non-free speech
<0> Cognition: there's several episodes of survivorman on isohunt. you might just have to live with that. :)
<1> what's isohunt?
<2> my tar is linked against old glibc and won't run, maybe i have some other tool on the system that would work..
<1> another site
<0> Cognition: ... you do have an internet connection, right?
<1> yup got it
<0> and you haven't used or heard of isohunt?
<1> no
<0> http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=survivorman
<1> those are free downloads?
<0> free as in beer, yes.
<1> uh-huh, I figured that much
<0> you might try http://www.tvtorrents.com/, but they don't show what they have until you log in, so I can't tell you what's on there.
<6> hey guys whats going on
<0> this reminds me, there should be a new mythbusters today. :)
<1> furrywolf: oh .. speaking of which ..
<1> furrywolf: do you get all the Discovery channel shows on that site too?
<0> 2093 seeds for the latest mythbusters episode.
<0> isohunt is a generic bittorrent search site. a substantial portion of popular tv shows appear on it.
<6> mythbusters , pchh , sounds like a pile of cra
<6> p
<6> ur one walkin commercial arent you
<6> wtf, waht did i do
<7> yo do i need a special burner to do business size type cds
<7> or just any plain old cd-rw will do it
<0> any burner with a tray (not slot-loading) and with a smaller indentation in the middle should work.
<7> ok
<7> cuase i realy am facinated by the business size cds
<7> make me feel professional
<7> lmao
<7> "like heres my resume"
<0> they store very little, and take up lots of room in your wallet. and will REALLY piss people off if they put them in a slot-loading drive. :)
<7> lol
<0> square cd + slot-loading drive = take computer apart to extract.
<8> Serves them right for having a slot loading drive?
<0> whythehell: I've seen a number of new laptops with them...
<8> A large number? A small number? A zero number?
<9> haha, got a 100 on my final
<9> my god
<0> whythehell: dunno, 10%.
<6> `annie`, geee congrats
<10> I had a slot-load DVD... got rid of it for that very reason.
<10> tray-load or die!
<9> i was so distract for all night long lol, reading junks on the internet, thank you drugl0rd
<9> now, i need to think about what should i replace my linux with
<9> with another distribution or what...
<2> AntiHacker: with another linux
<11> furrywolf: Is there any particular company that is using the slot-load style, or have the ones you've seen all been different brands?
