Watching Tonight's Presidential Debate Online

farkinga writes "For those of us that no longer have a television, live TV events can be a challenge to watch. Fortunately, tonight's Presidential Debate has attracted the attention of most US broadcasters, many of whom will provide online viewing options. Leading the way is Hulu, a joint venture between NBC Universal and News Corp, who will stream the Fox-branded feed tonight — assuming they worked out the bandwidth issues that came up during the second debate!"

  1. Much easier at 1.5X speed by ccandreva · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have TV. I still set my MythTV to record it, and started watching about an hour in.

    Why ? So I could use time-stretch to watch it at 1.5X speed. They take forever to say the simplest thing.

    Time stretch is amazing. Get done in less time, without everyone sounding like chipmunks.

    Anyone ballsy enough to stream using a more widely available, non-Flash codec?

    Barack Obama supports Linux. I did some freelance work for his North Carolina campaign headquarters, settting up a gentoo box for use as their intranet server. I met BO and talked about linux and modernizing the Federal Government, access to information, etc. He'll probably be a very linux-friendly administration. It may not be year of the linux desktop yet, but it will be year of the linux whitehouse.

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    Mickey increases the number of registered voters without increasing the number of actual voters. This provides an opportunity for disguising vote fraud by adding votes at the end of the night, but staying under the registered total.

    It's not separate from the black box machine, it's complementary to it.
