just lessened to it via Ember's link.

It was a nice program. They should do this more often :D They even went to the Netherlands to visit the European Go Center.

Yeah, it is. Jordus, please take down those. The BBC even let you listen to it for 7 days afterwards, so no need for those except for private archiving.

It was a nice program, a fairly standard Radio 4 affair. No specifics on how to play Go, just tasteful introduction to the culture and the surroundings. The only thing I'd quibble with was the impression that computers can't play a decent game of Go. Out of date talk! Overall - an impressive program.

Wrong !!

It just means it hasn't been caught (or reported) yet.

If it is hosted on youtube, there is no copyright violation of linking to a youtube video.

It is the video hosts (youtubes) responsibility to check for copyright violations, which if they find it as such, they will pull the video from their site.


It's probably preferable to grow up instead of playing word games with oneself.
