For anyone who is a physics/math/Feynman fan I highly recommend watching a series of lectures he did in the 50's called the Messenger lectures. Bill Gates bought the rights and has put them up online. They're a real treat.

I'm a huge Feynman fan (he's even been my avatar here).  I'll be watching these tomorrow.  I also recommend his books highly.  He was quite the character.

Thanks for the link!

Grr.  My browser is not supported.  Fucking Bill Gates.

Feynman is pretty awesome, so I will probably dig up the win32 machine and install silverlight at some point, but come on, Bill, why the hell do you have to oppress me?

He's not oppressing you, he's just promoting Silverlight, for the good of all humanity! It's not like there's any other technology that MS could have used to make the lectures more widely available.

 Ohhhhh, I see.

Also, fuck off with your "Boohoo, Silverlight doesn't work with my browser" shit. Works on Firefox and IE, suck it up bitches!
