Sir Sadiq Khan has been called a "disgrace" by a former Labour minister after he suggested that protesters who chant 'From the river to the sea' are not antisemitic, despite it calling for Israel to be wiped off the map.

Chomsky on BioLinguistics @ UCD

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Saturday January 21, 2006 23:34author by BPauthor email BlackPope at operamail dot com Report this post to the editors

Audiolink to Lectures - Dublin, 17th + 20th Jan 2006

Good quality audio (MP3) of two recent speeches by Noam Chomsky at University College Dublin:

1. Democracy Promotion: Reflections on Intellectuals and the State

2. Biolinguistic Explorations: Design, Development, Evolution

For all who really wanted to be there but couldn't make it, here it is --

Tue 17 Jan 2006 @ 7pm, O'Reilly Hall, UCD
"Democracy Promotion: Reflections on Intellectuals and the State" - 65min

Q + A - 39min


Fri 20 Jan 2006 @ 4.30pm, O’Reilly Hall, UCD
"Biolinguistic Explorations: Design, Development, Evolution" - 62min

Q + A - 19min

Describing the content of these lectures is a superfluous task well beyond me - so just go straight to following LINK for all four MP3 files - these can be streamed or downloaded in full for offline use --
http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=16147


It is believed that the linguistics lecture will not be made available publicly from the UCD website at any stage.

This relatively jargon-free introductory lecture (highly recommended) will be particularly interesting for those unfamiliar with Chomsky's scientific work.

These recordings are original by the author, NOT from the UCD video webcasts, and are of superior quality.

All UCD video streams ( fairly low quality in .WMV format ) are available here:

It's called FlashGet - an ingenious little prog that can quintuple download speeds:

worthy endeavour, but after an hour of trying, I've thrown in the towel on this one. First thing I did was to download the flash guardk, but it doesn't seem to have worked, and I'm on broadband.

the UCD lecture on Democracy and intellectuals has had 55 hits so far (maybe this unsuccessful attempt has made it 56).

Any chance you could post them on www.radio.indymedia.org BP? for all its glitches, it's very accessible when it's workin'.

but I've spent a total of 5 hours bustin' my banana on the IndyRadio server, both before and after resorting to radio4all, but can safely say that there is absolutely NO WAY it is taking this stuff being upped.

So I recommend u forget Flash and just let it trickle down direct overnight - I know its excruciating - try weeping, that'll take your mind off it, etc.!

Or just crack a 100TB/s server and donate it to both the above outfits. Cheers.
