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

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

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 --

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:

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.
just follow this link:
