Bill Gates Puts Classic Feynman Lectures Online
theodp writes "Okay Tux fans, let's see how badly you want to see Feynman's Messenger Lectures on Physics. Bill Gates has the goods over at Microsoft Research's Project Tuva site. Also, CNET's Ina Fried has an interesting interview with Gates. He goes into why he spent his own money to make a series of classic physics lectures available free on the Web, talks about the possibility of Project Natal bringing gesture recognition to Windows, gives his thoughts on Google's Chrome OS, and discusses plans to patent 'cows that don't fart.' The last is a joke. I think."
While the lectures would be nice to see (I already have the audio of them) - I'm not willing to infest my PC with $ilverlight to do so... Thanks anyway Bill
FIRST POST! WOOT!
Then go and find the papers. The site has the lectures as videos. I don't know about you, but I cannot translate any kind of video format (outside of animated ASCII) in my head. Same for audio formats.
No one was claiming this was "free as in freedom" or whatever nonsense you open sores fucks whine about. These are provided for "free" as in "no cost".
The excuse I would need to buy a Mac would be something along the lines of "I have suffered severe brain damage, and therefore need to buy a computer for stupids."
Because there is Goddamned video, you fucking faggot. Don't want to download Silverlight? Then don't. Instead, stop acting like a bitch and go fuck yourself. It's a win for everyone!
I will assume then that you don't watch anything on youtube either.
Please try to convince me that Flash is more secure than Silverlight. Please.
Or is flash OK because it's already an indispensable standard? Yeah, well we wouldn't want any competition or anything. That's always bad for the consumer...
It shouldn't be. Your MO is very obvious... you're what's known as a "google expert". You RTFS/A a little early since you're a subscriber, then google for some related scraps, then put together a post.
Lots of people have done this. We call them karma whores.
Sure, we all talk out of our ass sometimes ($DEITY knows I'm occasionally as guilty of it as anyone else). But you seem to make a habit of it... and so he called you out on it, and obviously one or more moderators agreed with him.

I don't need a video, dumbass, I can read. Post the goddamned transcript and save everybody a lot of wasted bandwidth.
Jesus, my day is bad enough without a bunch of AC stalkers flaming me. Now go tell your mom I have twenty bucks for her, I'm horney.
Free Martian Whores!
do you also whine like a bitch at the fact that youtube uses flash? or is it only the evil micro$$$$$$$$oft that gets you all worked up into a blithering rabid rage?
seriously, you are the biggest moron i've seen on this site, apart from twitter. if your dick was falling off from all of the vd's you probably have from all the hookers you fuck, and if bill gates funded the research into a cure, you'd probably still find a reason to hate him.
you're a fucking idiot and a fucking asshole. you'll probably rot in hell before he does.
You should try taking that stick out of your ass, though that might leave a hole that could compromise your system.
Whatever, jackass. Your stupidity contributes nothing to any conversation.
