Do I need to see a gynecologist?
A therapist would be more appropriate.

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"?

Why not put the videos on youtube? (Score:2, Insightful)
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?
Flash, really? (Score:2)
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...
Odd. (Score:2)
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.

Maybe they want to produce some numbers to demonstrate interest in linux? Why not let yourself be counted and thus be helpful yourself?
And PDT is UTC -0700 (Score:1)
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)
Video streaming link (Score:3)
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 [linuxfoundation.org]

Email registration just to watch a video?
Cool story bro.

Very restricted (Score:3)
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".
they're streaming live, hence the fixed schedule (Score:2)
It's possible that they'll upload the post-processed videos at a later date.

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.
