Links

Not sure why there's a whole bunch of cs.virginia links in place of original links... In any case I really don't see the reason for them (eg. 'he's been on oprah so here's a cs.virginia link instead of the oprah link!) and I've removed the non-necessary/repetitive links. Please discuss on here before going back and replacing again. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz (talk) 19:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody is trying to give his career a boost, IMHO. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it certainly looks like somebody is pushing the cs.virginia links.. haven't been watching the page long enough to see any trend but *shrug. Hopefully this link pushing won't become too much of a problem in the future. :/ --ImmortalGoddezz (talk) 01:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Pausch had many links to the UVA computer science department, as well as the UVA psychology department (via Dennis Proffitt, among others). It seems incredibly unlikely that the UVA links are malicious in any way. CMU and UVA are two of the most likely legitimate sources of links that you should expect to find for Randy Pausch. Whether it's appropriate for the entry or not is a question you can all decide, but don't question the motives... these people know and love Randy Pausch!76.199.1.207 (talk) 06:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Last Lecture in public domain?

I saw on WSJ's feature on Pausch that his last lecture would be (or has been) released to the public domain. I was wondering about the status of this and maybe if there is some independent confirmation. Axem Titanium (talk) 05:04, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
