Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Jack Harrison,
They are a party so divorced from popular culture that no one in the party understood the music.
As a brief aside, TV3 asked Colin Craig to name his favourite kiwi musos the other day. He chose 'Dave Dobyn' and 'The Police'. Nuff said!

Steven Joyce explains all in the Herald.
"I think these guys are just having a crack and have a bit of an eye for the main chance because it's an election campaign. So good on them, but we'll be contesting it pretty seriously. We don't believe they've got any grounds at all and we suspect its politically motivated."
So that Eminem guy is really a part of the vast, worldwide, left wing conspiracy that's out to get NZ's National Party? Who knew that?
He said it was chosen because it was a "positive, upbeat track."
National had replaced it with another track because it was "a little too positive."
Hey Steven! Unless you have a dirge in mind, this might be a more appropriate track.

Jason Ede is Kathryn Ryan's producer.
Sorry Kevin. I'm calling bullshit on that one.

My impression is that Willams and co are intimating that buying elections is a good thing.
Champtioning? Doller? These people are morons.

Eminem is suing the National Party over the unauthorised use of his music in their election ads.
Oh, the irony. Copyright infringment! Quick... call in the black choppers!

You should find it an Ohm from Ohm.

Hard News: 2014: The Meth Election, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Key is very glib about that, someone should ask him why this super web vigilance system couldn't stop the Spark*DNS attack - what are we paying for ...the goats in the machine?
Ahh... but the "Big Norton" was called 'Cortex' and didn't get off the ground, we're told. Key even declassified documents to prove that.
Speargun? Now that's a different matter altogether.

OnPoint: "Project SPEARGUN underway", in reply to CJM,
Notice that 'Cortex' was all Ryan would talk about in her 'interview' with Ferguson this morning on RNZ. She never mentioned Speargun even though this was the explicitly stated and presented evidence from Snowden.
I was also disappointed with Ryan. She's capable of conducting much better interviews than this. Ferguson is able to trot out the 'nothing like this happened in my time' line with a straight face, because he left the GCSB in 2010.
Nothing to see here, folks. Movin' right along.
And what did happen to Jason Ede?

How do you 'probe' an optic cable, without breaking it to insert a splitter or somesuch?
In this digital age it can't be that difficult when you have physical access and an unlimited budget. Each connection point for the cable will contain digital switches - tapping into those would be the easiest option. And yes, you would need a very large pipe to siphon all the data, but for an organisation which owns its own satellites that surely wouldn't be an impediment.
