Back then I did not know how to cry foul. I wanted to see that video was on the sift, and now it is. I have since posted other videos related to the same subject matter.

I know better now, and have worked hard to be able to promote and *quality the videos and discussion I think are worth having. What keeps me around here is the comments videos inspire. I gain nothing by eliminating that. I have no intention of performing such a resurrection, or robbing @supersaiyan93 of votes. I just thought it was an example worth pointing out of misuses of power points. >> ^gwiz665:
The laws of the land were different back then, but that was indeed a wrongful discard. You should have cried foul back then, I think it would be not-nice to resurrect it now to grab the votes. >> ^notarobot:
A while back, when I was new, I posted a videothat was discarded by someone who erroneously declared it to be a dupe without even watching it. That same video has since been reposted and presently has 53 votes.
Now that I have privileges, do I promote my old vid to get the votes dupeof'd onto mine, or do I preserve the comments on the current vid that did not fall victim to mistaken discarding by leaving it alone?

I was in attendance when Randy Pausch gave a dinner talk to prospective CMU Ph.D. students. It was probably the best talk I've ever seen -- driving home the point that computation is the most powerful force for changing the world in the future.

I wish I had a video of that

Pancreatic Cancer may have killed this man, but this *quality lecture will inspire for years to come.

I have two at my desk at work:

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people." -=- Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'Mortality, dreams, cancer, life, lecture' to 'Mortality, dreams, cancer, life, lecture, randy pausch' - edited by calvados

Glad you liked it. You are certainly not alone in admiring Dr. Pausch. I tried a while back to get his Last Lecture on here. I was very happy to see you posting it. It is among my favorite talks on the interweb.

Not sure if you're interested, but I came across another speech by Randy Pauch. This one is shorter.

Thank you very much for bringing that video to my attention. I upvoted it. I admire the hell out of that man.

You can see the real last lecture by the late Dr. Pausch without all the commentary on the sift. It very worthwhile to see.

Dr. Pausch passed away July 25, 2008. You can read about the impact his message had on the world here.

The Last Lecture that made him famous is finally back on the sift.
