    How slow is the internet in New Zealand? who is this for apart from gamers?

    Rod Drury's Securing Our Digital Trade Routes is a good starting point.

    Speed isn't the most critical factor, but rather it's the monthly data caps and global connectivity that are the issue, which the Kordia-PipeNet project could address if it goes ahead. A very big 'if'.

    Speaking of reality TV did anyone hear the brilliant CEO of the Italian cruise ship attacked by pirates describe the event as the next level of reality TV, with priates wanting to be stars of their own reality shows

    Sounds like we're closer to the Running Man and Series 7 than we think.

    BTW the Stuff article on the fibre plan seems to be working normally.

    PS. Image embedding, as it works for YouTube, would be nice too, as long as the image is auto-resampled down. Now that would take a bit of number-crunching...

    Speaking of vile people, I was reading a story at the Herald Online about Ryanair thinking about charging a fat tax. I made the mistake of looking at "Your Views". And it was a mistake.

    Shudder. I can feel the waves of Haterade from here.

    If the Your Views mob really want to practice what they preach, they might as well form a militia. And hope against hope they'll be Ruatoki'ed - or better still, Waco'ed.

    and isn't it annoying when at last there's two good shows on telly, on different channels and, of course, they schedule them for the same timeslot. Utter contempt for their audience.

    I haven't had a TV for the past 4.5 years, and I'm glad I made that choice. There's always OnDemand...
