I hate this damn machine. Why don't I sell it. It does not what I want it to, but rather what I tell it.
Clicked on play button. Buffer got up to 62%, then stalled and started over according to the numbers. Pressed the stop button...kept playing a little bit more, then a little bit more. It should hav stopped when I pressed the more button to download it, and it did not. I pressed the more button to get the download link. Still playing bits. Started download. Download completes in record time. Downloaded five seconds of it according to winamp. Delete file. Start download again. That five second bit in the cache, so the download is at 1000kbps, and I am not on broadband. Dropped the whole page to stop it from playing bits. Called it up again. Pressed title bar to get full description page. 89%, 9:04.

This discussion of World War I social issues is irresistible.

P.S. Shameless plug for an article I wrote. The audio file is a featured sound.

I don't see much of a problem with this, as a comparison implies some sort of value-judgement.
UK primary school history does tend to focus on people a lot, rather than details of historical events.
Probably more recent than my 1950s primary school history, which IIRC,
was
more about dates and events rather than people, and my 1960s history education was more about politics than anything else. Social history
might
just as well have been a foreign language when I was taught. Let's just
say
it didn't relate to my experience of life, and thus failed to light my
fire.
Indeed, history education has changed a lot since then! When I was in primary school (10+ years ago) we hardly learned any dates, it was all about what life was like during that period.
