LHC Physics Center bans Powerpoint, switches to whiteboard-only forums

I wish this feature would be available in Youtube and other video sites. I worked through half the Graphical Models course on Coursera at 1.5x and it was very comfortable. This would be a key feature to allow people to learn at their own pace. Literally.

That's one more reason I would prefer that sites provide a direct link to the video instead of forcing whatever plugin or js-thing or other crappy UI on me.

For youtube, I always yget the videos in /tmp and watch using mplayer. I use the speed-up often.

Coursera's "crappy UI" player has a playback rate option built right in.
