Truly amazing and inspiring. It's 2 hours long, so sit back and enjoy the show, trust me, you will want to watch the entire lecture once he's started so make sure you have time before you start.

I love listening to good speakers, so I'll probably take a look at this later at home. A quick question though - what does he lecture about?

renny · 09-21-2007, 10:53 AM

I don't want to give too much of it away as it may ruin the lecture, but I can tell you that he talks about life.

this is a great program for saving streaming video. It's what I used to download the prospect videos that have since been uploaded to youtube. Works like a charm, but only has a free 30 day trial period

Without giving it away, I thought this was amazing. He has accomplished so much in life, and has touched so many.

2 hours is honestly a lot of time, could somebody perhaps recap using a spoiler in a little bit of detail? Sounds interesting.

I'd be quite interested to view this, but I can't seem to open it. Something about missing protocols and inability to load the souce filter. I've got all the protocols that I know of checked off as active. Anyone know if that's a problem with the link, or a problem on my end?
Any other ways of checking this out?

Another way of opening this would be going directly to Carnegie Mellon University website
http://www.cmu.edu/index.shtml
On the bottom left hand corner it says Professor Randy Pausch's final lecture, click on that link and it will take you to 2 different ways to watch it.

That was absolutely amazing. Best 2 hours I've ever "wasted." Thanks for the link.

corporatejay · 09-21-2007, 08:24 PM

Yeah...When all you get on a regular basis are the U of C's sub par science profs, this was absolutely amazing.

There was some good stuff in there for sure. I wish I could have that outlook on life, but the fact is, not everyone is that way.

NSFL · 09-22-2007, 01:21 AM

Parents have a lot to do with it.
