Help! I just got done having sex with my boyfriend and my ass is bleeding. Does this mean I just got my first period? Should I buy some tampons to stick up there or what should I do? Do I need to see a gynecologist?
Hey...
Chicks don't like anal cuz' they poop from there.
But regular sex, they pee from there.
WTF @ INFIRIOR LOGIC.
geeez.. do i really have to click on more than a single link and search(!) with my to (not) find the fucking videos? ...is this 2011 or what? why are assholes still hiding videos behind a desert of text? fuck... i hate this time.. i hope the little people, who hate reading, will grow up faster and give me less tl;dr... fuck...
i clicked on two links and found no videos... and i don't even have noscript running since the last firefox update broke it again... (fuck firefox...)
I thought Slashdot's Terms of Service required a snarky comment always be appended to a statement like that. So where's the anti-registration rant - or at least a mention of "bugmenot"?

Many major FOSS conferences post the talks as videos on youtube or vimeo. That allows me to choose when to watch the talks. Why not be helpful?
So well duh !!

At the time of writing it's 19:00 hours in PDT, so 4 hours and 45 (oops, 44) minutes from now Greg Kroah-Hartman and Linus will have their keynote. (23:45)
A relatively badly designed website. It was not obvious (at least to me) but here is the link, and you have to give them your email address: Live Video Streaming link

OMG privacy, they're out to get me!
Statisfied now?
They're on a fixed schedule, available for a limited time, and require registration. You'd think they'd just upload them to the Internet Archive and be done with it. Talks for previous years are on "video.linux.com".
Seems like they are using ustream to stream it, and this is the ustream channel:

Neither Youtube nor Vimeo are the most Linux-friendly way to do this. That said, I have no idea what they chose instead, or why...
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
but does it work on Windows?
It's possible that they'll upload the post-processed videos at a later date.
I wondered what all those ponytail guys in socks and sandals were doing walking around nearby.... That explains it.
That's the least they should do to protect their intellectual property.
Waiting for torrent...

Youtube has html5-support for most of their videos, and they have started enabling it by default for some users.
I don't know what their criteria is, but my desktop with Fedora 15, and Firefox >=4 (not sure which version I had when I visited youtube the first time on the machine) and I was auto-added to the beta.
The exception is videos with with ads, they use the flash player.
Are there video recordings available?
keynote sessions being made available for free public streaming
Actually, the keynotes weren't made available. They escaped, leaving a bloody trail of network engineers in their wake.
8 of 13 people found this answer helpful. Did you?
Well, and Vimeo allows some videos to be downloaded with free registration, so that might be the friendliest...
One weird thing, though. Remember all the fury about Chrome dropping H.264 in HTML5? Just went to youtube.com/html5 with Chrome 13 and found it's supported.
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
