  • Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy,

    Remove* the association between the ID and the media and the link containing the ID will no longer work. (The page will display whatever message it is programmed to in that instance.)

    Thanks, Robert, but my question is, how is that *not* considered removing access to content?

  • Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy,

    The police propaganda machine has been in overdrive in inviting people to imagine Mr. Dotcom was sitting in some sort of aberrant fortress nervously fingering some sort of shadily obtained sawn off weapon.

    I'm surprised they didn't say that he had a knife. ;)

  • Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy,

    They provided a tool for the content industry to remove content, but it is alleged that it would only remove one particular identified link, leaving the content (and any other links to it) still in place.

    Right, so how does Megaupload deactivate a hyperlink on a site that is not their own without deactivating the page linked to?

  • Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy,

    They are alleged to not have taken down material when advised under the DMCA that it was present, but only to have removed the reported links to the material, while leaving it and unreported links in place so that infringement could still continue.

    I'm quite familiar with how Megaupload works, but I still don't understand this bit. Anyone?

  • Hard News: #BDOMemories,

    The year some sort of weather bomb hit

    It was almost knee deep in the NW corner of the field. People were making paths through it out of upturned bread trays.

    Iggy & the Stooges, not once but twice.

    Yep, if you'd told me ten years ago that I'd be seeing more or less both the Raw Power Stooges and the Funhouse Stooges in Auckland, I'd not have believed it.

  • Capture: Roamin' Holiday,

    I'd never heard of the other two.

    Not sure about "Merkleworth" in Takapuna. Seems to be Merksworth, more correctly.

    Might be another name for Algies' castle (1926) (don't laugh; it's a bit more impressive from the beach side), but Google does not clarify.

    Well, don't be surprised if Manurewa records an unusually high turnout for ACT in 2014, if you know what I mean.

    Keith, you're dead right about NZ's news media's memory having shrunk to virtual non-existence.

    In the latest example, we suddenly have a govt. minister declaring that Brian Tamaki is "entitled to" millions in state funding for his Jonestown school system. It was only about five or six weeks ago that we were all saying "Charter schools??! where did that come from?", and yet no reporter seems able to put two and two together.
