The slide text is on a separate url: http://www.nwcpp.org/Downloads/2007/AdvancedD/index.html

Mental image of Walter _shattered_!  Don't know why, but totally didn't expect him to look like that.

He looks so damn...normal.  At least if you expected Doc Brown from Back to the Future. :p

Awesome.  Solid presentation, although the facts stand for themselves, Walter could stand to give it a bit more flair. He's the guy that created it after all - he should be *excited* to show it off (IMO).

My question: what the heck is that guy in the front row /eating/?  Cheetos perhaps?

Thanks! I was there so the question was more about getting Flash to work in Ubuntu, than about getting the video itself :o).

Anyhow, the hi-res thing is great because it makes the slides clearer.

Thanks; didn't work, but the link suggests a couple of other leads.

I don't know about ubuntu, but in gentoo, flash sound wouldn't work while I was using flash 7. I upgraded to netscape-flash-9 and everything is hunky dory now. The problem is, your sound device is being used by something else (lsof | grep /dev/snd). It's because the old flash used oss, I think, and the new one uses alsa.
