Hotspot Shield
Ok, I promised an interesting solution to the Hulu problem. Like I said previously, I have tested this and it works. Best is that it is a two platform solution, so it will run in Windows (2000, XP & Vista) and Mac (10.4 & 10.5).
Not sure if they will ever do a Linux version but we can live in hope.
It is dead simple. Download the software for you platform by clicking on the link provided by the title in this article or for the challenged copy and paste...

When it is downloaded and you have run it it basically masks your own IP address and gives you a fake one to the outside world. What this specifically does is makes Hulu think you are in the good old US of A and will happily provide you with hours of fantastic programming for diddly squat.
One word of warning is that when trying this in work it confused the hell out of my email client and I could not get email and was wondering what the hell was going on. Once I disabled Hotspot Shield everything went back to normal.
Great wee solution and all the details of how it does this are on the site.
All it means is that you will be having even more information zipping down your internet connection so beware of your download limits and the actual speed of your internet connection. I hate it when you get stuttery stop and start video.
I swear, I am building up to a rant on this. Really I am.
