Watch It Now

Last night I hooked up my old computer to our 42 inch HD LCD.  This old computer has and AthlonXP 2600+ processor, 1GB DDR, and an nVidia 6200 series AGP 8x video card with Windows XP Pro.  It also has wireless Ethernet.

I went to Netflix.com and chose the watch it now option.  After installing WMP 11, then resetting the DRM components, and finally installing a license for the movie (15 minutes total), I was able to watch a couple of movies, LEGALLY streamed from Netflix. 

WOW!  Incredible quality!  Looked like an HD DVD.  I was expecting the usual Youtube garbage quality, but this was clear, no blocking, no stuttering, no freezing.  With the AC97 on-board sound hooked up to our surround sound entertainment center I was able to enjoy Dolby 5.1 surround. Just incredible.

I personally think this is the way of the future.  No more buying DVDs, just monthly subscriptions and instant viewing.

The best part?  Your movie collection is always there, and takes up no space.

Happy Towel Day!

May 25th is Towel Day, so Happy Towel Day all you hoopy froods!

y0himba <3's Wubi

I seriously like Vista, you just need a machine that can handle it.  I also like Wubi because you don't need to partition, and it works flawlessly with Vista.

This is Ubuntu installed by Wubi.  Just click Install, fill out a few questions, it downloads Ubuntu, then you reboot and there is a normal boot menu to select Ubuntu or whatever flavor of Windows you installed Wubi from. 

Boot to Ubuntu, it installs, runs right out of the box.  BRILLIANT.  Then, reboot, choose Windows, once in Windows, just uninstall Ubuntu like you would any other Windows program. 

No mess, no fuss, no partitioning, no boot loader (GRUB Etc.).
