Royal Institute Christmas Lectures

Posted by Hemos on from the interesting-reading dept.

category9 writes "One of the best xmas tv highlights for us chaps in the UK is the RI Christmas Letures. Once broadcast by the BBC, Channel4 now have the helm. Past lecturers include the world renowed cybernetics engineer, Prof. Kevin Warwick. This year Sir John Sulston, of Human Genome Project fame, will be talking about genetics and the building blocks of life over 5 lectures. This is a must see for anyone interested in artificial intelligence. The lectures are presented in a format which allows technical detail, but in a way very accessible to those outside the particilar scientific fields. The website has transcripts for anyone not able to receive Channel4, perhaps with streams coming at a later date (lobby Channel4 if you must)."

    is it your fault *every* fucking territory once under british control annexed themselves? These weren't professional armies we're talking about, these were rednecks and indians.

    Maybe if your women would brush their teeth every once in a while, I would visit.

    the UK is a great ally though, unlike alot of other western european nations.

    So you're saying we're the stupid, passive ones because a smaller percentage of us get murdered?

    10 children are killed by handguns every day in the USA. This is a small price well worth paying for the right to defend yourself. If an armed gunman breaks into your house in UK you have no way to defend yourself and will surely die.
