Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | I couldn't find his talk on the TED.com website (although I would wholeheartedly recommend checking out many of the other talks on that website). But here is another location which has several links where you can hear his talk: http://www.cmu.edu/uls/journeys/randy-pausch/index.htmlI heard that the content of his book is somewhat different and I hope to find a chance to read it in the next couple of months.

Thanks for understanding my grieving about Randy. I am sorry
I mentioned anything else. I just wanted to talk about him and
I was angry that he was gone. My apologies to all others I offended with their wisdom.
Partial mandibulectomy and neck dissection 2/3/07. T2NOMO.
Had 14 hour operation which included reconstruction of jaw.
Reconstruction failed. Some radiation, no chemo.

You unfortunately became the person whose post I chose to answer this urban myth on, that I hear every week. Don't take it personally. And our government, big business interests, and others in power have lied to us in documented ways plenty in the past. It is just that this would require such a large collaboration to hide, that unlike those crooks at Enron, it could not feasibly be done.
We all want someone to blame for the injustices that the world throws at us. It is completely understandable, but not particularly a good thing to propagate and provide a vehicle to continue.
