Feynman's Messenger Lectures Online
AKA Project Tuva

Bill Gates (a man who needs no introduction, right?) has acquired the rights to seven lectures known as The Messenger Lectures, given by Richard Feynman in 1964.  Microsoft Research has made the lectures available for free viewing online through an interactive video application called Project Tuva.  Check it out!!!

The application requires the installation of a free video player from Microsoft, called Silverlight.  It should install smoothly if yo are running Internet Explorer.  My experience is that it doesn't install at all on Linux and installs with problems using Firefox on Windows XP.  Your mileage may vary...
