Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University died of pancreatic cancer today. He was 47 years old. He was married with three kids.

If you haven't seen his "last lecture" on youtube, do yourself a favor and watch it. The guy is a real inspiration.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

Hmm, thats too bad. 47 years, and then your life ends... Quite sad to say the least.

For non English people that sounds really odd.


Could a Moderator rename me to "Silvester"?(without the Quotes)

This is truly sad, his Last Lecture was a truly inspirational speech. I was just in the middle of watching it a second time around a few days ago. He has contributed so much to computer science, and he was a wonderful person.

A book? I hate book. Book is stupid.
