Felt in NJ as well.

For Linux users wanting to watching without using browser + flash, using mplayer + rtmpdump:

  rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://livestfslivefs.fplive.net/livestfslive-live/ -y "aljazeera_en_veryhigh?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId=" -W "http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us1.24.04.08.2011-01-14072625/federatedVideoUI/BrightcovePlayer.swf -p "http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ -a "aljazeeraflashlive-live?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId=" | mplayer -

^ Works with vlc too.

just pulled rtmpdump from macports (I already have mplayer, of course) and I can confirm it works on mac too... except their rtmp provider seems to be getting killed right now.

I would recommend switching to Livestation, quality isn't as good, but at least it works (on Linux too).

It works fine on my linux box. Is there anyway to adjust the screensize to full-screen?

Look in /etc/mplayer/input.conf for the keybindings.

[F11]?

The default binding is 'f', iirc.

This comment by coffeemug is the most relevant advice I have every found for anyone wanting to become a competent programmer/hacker : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1747713

Also from http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html :

"So, if you want to be a hacker, repeat the following things until you believe them:"

To follow the path:

    look to the master,

    follow the master,

    walk with the master,

    see through the master,

    become the master.

I find articles like this on how to date a female / male geek very aggravating unless they are meant to be satirical or in plain jest . Analyzing some of the things mentioned in this blog post:

"As opposed to their male counterparts, many female geeks are into hygiene and looking nice for public viewing. But that’s where similarities end."

Really? What is similar between geeks regardless of gender is their geeky interests and hobbies. Some kind of sad generalization about appearance and hygiene is just pathetic.

"Female geeks have very particular needs, and if you can’t meet them, consider yourself pwn3d."

The usage of pwn3d makes it hard to take the author's advice seriously.

"Tell her she’s pretty"

Hard to grasp how the author managed to figure out the golden mantra to woe all female geeks.

In conclusion the person who wrote this blog post needs to change the title to : "How to date me".

These days I find this comment by coffeemug (lists three things) relevant when it comes to advice regarding programming as a career : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1747713

Reminds me of another female virus writer "Gigabyte" who she references in the interview : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte_(virus_writer)

I moved to Mountain View about 2 months ago and paying $1400 for a two-bedroom as well.

I would recommend adding a slide-show or short screencast on the homepage to give users an overview of the features.

Will do. Ironically, we also created SlideDeck.com. So we will be building one as our product tour.
