  • Hard News: That Buzzing Sound,

    Russ, I saw Farrar in that video. Therefore the whole thing is suspect.

    Of course sadly from all the work we've done so far nobody has managed to make the scary combinations that you have referred to. Our ambition as evil mad scientists has thus far been a complete failures

    Dammit, I want my frankenmato, Bart!

    I could tell you Mark's answer: nobody's guaranteed a living. Not even transnational corporations.

    No, no, no, ignoring comes before ridicule. Get it right.

    And it doesn't stop it being true.

    I don't normally engage in such arseholery but between the catheter and the prostate I thought it was worth highlighting the trend.

    That's just Don being a dick ;-)

  • Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

    The French reverse themselves, in spite of the EU directive. The HADOPI bill has been passed 296-233 in the lower House. It still has to pass the Senate, but that is expected on Wednesday. France will then have to open negotiations with the European Council.

    Are you becoming my personal stalker, Islander?

  • Hard News: When that awful thing happens,

    It's beginning to sound like the copywrong thread, Sacha, because some are willfully conflating the cannabis issue with the more serious crime. They're actually, more interested in the cannabis issue, just as O'Connor is more interested in trying to claim that tasers are essential, than they are in the serious crime.

    Then there's a hare-brained few that have knee-jerked into thinking a registry will solve things. As Matthew and others have pointed out (Nice post, BTW, A S), they bring no evidence but believe it must be true because of something like "common sense".

    With both parties, facts and citations mean nothing, because they have already determined what the "truth" is, so if you don't agree then really you can't have thought it through, can you?

    The only option is to walk away, and concentrate efforts where they will actually have an impact - with MPs and the media, who are also knee-jerking on this.

  • Hard News: Madness in Mt Albert,

    I'd like to point out that the pedantic comment by "Mark" was not by me, though spookily enough I was thinking those very thoughts...
