  Yup, and it totally lies.  :-D  They've incorporated it, and once
Netflix offers Linux support, they can turn it on.  As the moderator
at their support forum pointed out:

"FOR THE LAST TIME
boxee has never purported to run netflix on linux!

the team was very clear when the released netflix for the mac version
that it did not work on linux--and, they were clear it was a ways out.

the hacks at slashdot mis-reported the story, and never corrected it.
then the jokes at lwn decided to report the slashdot article without
bothering to confirm."
