I just sent off an email to the Turkish ambassador to the USA requesting clarification. Let's see what they have to say.

Re: Comment #13607.

No, you're not the only one with that issue. The URI to the mp3 in the post is based on a provider provided path including hosted server and access port(8080). If you're using a proxy server to access the net that only allows communication on port 80 (http), this may cause a problem.
Removing the provider server suffix and port (.nyud.net:8080) from the path fixes this.

This was a tragic and unnecessary loss. More reports such as these are likely to appear in the future if politicians and people in general continue in failing to appreciate the responsibility we all have as the most purposefully influential species on this planet.

5. Richard Dawkins: You Ask The Questions Special

You know, at first when I started listening and watching Richard's speeches I would imagine him spontaneously coming up with his witty answers, but the more I listened, the more I watched and read, I came to the rather humorous conclusion that he's so good at what he does and has done it so many times and heard such similar and circular arguments and questions in so great a number that he need not do more than quote extracts -sometimes literally by heart- from his books, and it will suffice not only in context but also in content as answers to people's questions.
