24. It just posts a link ...

The problem she's having is that Hulu, through an agreement with the media companies, blocks access to their content to people without US IP addresses.

And Hulu has found the magic formula for obfuscating the real URL to the video file itself so that it's hard to find. If I had the real URL, I could just stream rip it like with Youtube video. I could throw a packet sniffer at it and get the URL, eventually, but I haven't gotten that desperate yet.

Anyway ... this is one of those things that feeds my obsessive/compulsive gene. I have a project I have to figure out now. Just ignore me. I'm mostly harmless. :)
