    But, yes, you bet I'll have one by the end of the year.

    Well, duh!

  • Hard News: The Internet in New Zealand,

    Thanks, Matthew; I'll look into that, but I don't think that's the issue since most other things -- YouTube, for example -- are working as normal.

    If I were you I'd be looking closely at my connection characteristics

    I might if knew what that meant. :)

  • Hard News: The Internet in New Zealand,

    My flat is on Big Time (Xtra's replacement for Go Large), and I have to say that we're quite happy with it. Yes they throttle torrents except between 0200-0700

    We're on Go Large with the same heavy throttling, with slightly less heavy throttling between 0200-0700. I don't use torrenting, but they are seriously ruining a number of aspects of my internet experience at the moment. For instance, I can't even download vids from Crooks & Liars anymore, which is pissing me off. There's got to be a way around this.

  • OnPoint: Iraq, from the air,

    I have seen quite a few of these “gun sight“ videos out of Iraq and Afghanistan, but this one is worse because you know there are apparently some non-combatants involved, with the other videos it was very clear that it was insurgents on the receiving end.

    Yeah, they don't tend to want to release those ones as much.

    The US military and Govt. can’t keep secrets of any kind, especially not this kind of information in the resent political/media environment, so if wrongful identifications and shootings etc. were happening in significant numbers, we would know about it for sure.

    Forgive me if I don't just take your word for that.

    I don't know where that creepy little man came from...please tell me you can see him too?!

    Yes, that freaked me too. I should've warned you.

    The credit music was amazing. It's like an electronic version of water sucking down a plughole, which seems to be a universally terrifying sound to children. I still haven't heard a satisfying explanation as to why that is.

    Nice breakdown here, from about 5:20

  • Hard News: The Internet in New Zealand,

    Yo, I need some help with this, fellas.

    Telecom has started seriously throttling me on selected targets. I need some reliable proxy ability or something. Any advice would be welcome.
