Re: Excellent episodes
Also really enjoyed the Nathan Lowell episode, I'm a big fan of his audio books. It's a shame that the new owners share book has, according to Nathan's blog , helped to crash the Podiobooks.com website and they need to buy a new server I've already contributed $20 so come on and help out a great sit...

Re: Eating meat made humans what they are
Hmm interesting hypothesis "humans are intelligent because they learned to cook"
maybe "humans learned to cook because they are intelligent " would be an alternative theory.
Still an interesting and thought provoking documentary from auntie.

Re: You're a racist if you disagree w/the president
Maybe a lot of people are pissed because he's quadrupled the national debt in less than one year and simply disagree with his policies? Surely that's the advantage of living in a democracy, you get to say whatever you like about the incumbent president and every four years, if enough people agree w...

Re: Bill Gates seems to hate America.
Seems like one expensive way to ease your own conscience. However when you've ripped off billions of consumers and bankrupted hundreds of business rivals then perhaps you have a large conscience. :twisted: I remember a couple of years back when Bill G. was trumpeting his good deeds in Africa by payi...

Re: TLLTS website redesign just for the World Cup
They even changed the rules at Wimbledon this year, specifically banning them from the tennis courts this year. Not that anyone was planning to take a Vuvuzela on centre court, can you just imagine Nadal serving just as one of those horns let rip? :shock: Still, it's only the vuvuzela that's banned,...

Re: Episode 357 but there is no audio after 22:24
Downloaded from the link on TLLTs home page but this links to a mirror and the mirror still has the broken version on it.
So downloaded from http://www.tllts.org/audio/tllts_357-06-09-10.ogg and this finally works. Third time lucky eh?

Re: Episode 357 but there is no audio after 22:24
I know some people would like Gorkon off the air ( not me, I think he's great) but axing him in mid sentence and wiping the rest of the show is a bit extreme guys !
downloading it all again now.

Re: Episode: 341. The Gorkon Show
I enjoyed the show. It was nice to see Gorkon get passionate about a subject that interests him and Dann instead of his usual, joking, "shut the F* up Gorkon" decided to sit back and let him run with it. A wise choice as it made for a show with a difference, fresh and entertaining. OK so he did talk...

Re: Doug McIlroy interview in ep. 321
Seriously, I can't remember a podcast item that I enjoyed more! Hugely interesting subject mater (Interesting to me anyway) and really a great interviewing technique from Pat. I doubt that many professional national TV or radio presenters could have conducted it better. Like Pat mentioned in ep320 a...

Re: M$ profits down 29% for the quarter
so M$ only made profits equal to the GDP of a medium size country instead of a quite bigish size country.
Still more money than I can comprehend.

Re: Why I wouldn't own a Kindle besides the DRM
Yeah! Thought you bought 1984 didya? Thought ya owned that copy of Animal Farm didya? Well think again pal 'cos Amazon just deleted it from your Kindle. Now if you'd bought the paperback version, would they send some ninja cat-burglars to repossess it from your bedroom at the dead of night? Hey it's...
