Hard News: The Mega Conspiracy, in reply to Steve Barnes,
This one has been floating round for a few weeks, but I don't put anything in it. They hadn't properly launched Megabox yet and had only started talking about it in November IIRC. If this investigation has been in train for 2 years (and the indictment shows a hell of a lot of research that I doubt even the FBI could pull off in the weeks between Thanskgiving and Xmas), then the timing is purely coincidental.
That the language proposed by Big Content is turning up in legal documents is hardly a surprise. They've been trying to frame this in terms favourable to them all along. (I also think you'll find the word "facilitated" in many other prosecutions launched by the USG, so that's no biggie either)

Nice. Truth was it was annoyingly out of focus, so I fiddled with it. I am not finding the Fuji an easy companion – many functions but we are not yet clicking.
You fuel! Always claim that it was intentional! ;-)

What does the ministry of FAT (bad name) do? What are we trying to achieve? (Best Ceo voice on)?
It tries to upgrade to NTFS

Also, unless you've been so clever with your Flash stuff (which means taking as much time over it as you would with HTML), then Google has real difficulty indexing it.

Hard News: CELEBRITY DRUG SHOCK NEWS! AGAIN., in reply to Craig Ranapia,
IMO it’s part and parcel of the same deeply exploitative, harmful and toxic media culture.
I'm with you on that.

Audrey Young has a story on the Hayes connection.
It's quite possible that the "mindless wasteful admin crap" was simply Finance requiring him to fill in his expense forms properly. McCully and his ilk regard "aid" as "investment" and demand a financial return on it.

Except that a) we don't have civil servants, we have public servants and b) parliamentarians are not public servants, even when they are Ministers. So the same rules don't apply, sadly.

Kim Dotcom granted bail "after new evidence came to light."
As I said on Geekzone, I shall laugh myself silly if he now buggers off to Germany ;-)

Happy Birthday, Doctor President-for-Life Haywood! It has certainly been a big year for you and yours. Once you get to the new place, some rest and recuperation will be mandatory.
One way to get around the *-free issue, is to bake 2 cakes – a big one for the ordinary people and a small one for the special person. That’s how my wife deals with my mushroom allergy (though not in cakes)
