Bill Gates has made it available online. You need to install Silvelight (the flash alternative from Microsoft). It's worth it.

Microsoft on Monday rebuffed a public appeal by Mikhail Gorbachev for its chairman, Bill Gates, to intervene on behalf of a Russian school principal charged with software piracy. -IHT
Many may have noticed this case where Gorbachev asked and Bill Gates declined.
It bears repeating. Personal…
I am talking about Bill Gates, of course.
Most people have read the recent reports that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates's personal net worth exceeds 40 billion dollars. Consider that he made this money in the 22 years or so since Microsoft was founded in 1975. If you assume he worked 14 hours a…
Since I wrote about a man who is arguably the biggest seller of quackery on the Internet, namely Joe Mercola, yesterday, I thought I'd turn my attention to someone who is arguably another of the biggest promoters of quackery on the Internet, namely Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com. If Joe Mercola is…
Blame Comcast, I say.
Blame Comcast for the fact that I don't have a typical pearl of Orac-ian logorrheic majesty for your edification this morning. And there's so much that requires such a pearl to be thrown at it, too, in particular a study claiming that cell phone radiation alters brain…
Sadly, it's not worth it (and I say that as a long time admirer of Feynman). Because, as you note, you have to install Silverlight (unless you are a Linux user, in which case you might try Moonlight - although there are reports that Moonlight doesn't work for this).
Get Feynman here with no hassle:

Silverlight - it's IE6 for the next millenium.
I agree with uqbar. Not wortht the hassle to see a circa 1964 rendition of R.Feynman when the vega.org site has a later, and more exciting series of lectures about 15 years newer!
Also, it not "available" online in the sense that it can be downloaded and used later! Another exmple of MS snapping up copyrights with $ for their own commercial purposes?
I cannot believe Bill Gates got excited about the older version of the talks rather than the newer series. Perhaps they were not copywritable?
