Has no-one put Trademe up on TradeMe yet?
Sorry dude. I just assumed you would.

Try adblocking everything and/or uninstalling flash. A lot of those animated ads grab CPU.
True that. In the past the problem at the Herald site has been with DoubleClick's ad-serving code, which conflicted horribly with Safari in the Mac and some other configurations.
"Rich media" ad creative in general is a problem. It just tends to break things.

Whoops ...
Citing the impracticalities and complexities associated administering with a three strike policy, the UK Minister of Intellectual Property, David Lammy has been quoted by the BBC and in The Times as saying that the British government is no longer interested in making ISPs police file-sharing or disconnecting users as part of a three strike policy, similar to the laws soon to be imposed in New Zealand.

It all seemed very sensible and well run compared with the 'Hug - "Wow, they have an actual health and safety policy!" "Wow, they do performance reviews!" "Wow, the boss isn't insane!"
Ah yes. You missed the boss-is-insane era at Xtra.
The boss then would've been Bill Birch lookalike Bob Smith, who brought the "sensible and businesslike" after Chris Tyler departed like an out-of-control skyrocket over the horizon.

I was working at Xtra back then.
You realise that this obliges you to make at least one substantial and amusing post to this thread about the crazy old days @Xtra?
I look forward to reading it.

I'd choose 'Know Your Product' by The Saints.
Or the Flaming Lips' version of 'Seven Nation Army'.
But the kids probably want some Pendulum, right?

I kinda liked X-ville. It was 3d, it was cartoony.
It wasn't entirely original ...
Yeah, it was of the behemouth, which has always been an easy target. But visually, it was ahead of its time.
No, it was behind its time. DVP was a CD-Rom developer, and that's pretty much the style. Designers stopped using client-side image maps like that years ago.
A web site - a portal, no less - which dared to eschew the conventional banner cross the top, headlines down the middle, nav marks down the left side.
And which looked exactly the same every single day. The Second Coming could have happened and it would be just another day in X-ville.

I kind of feel bad for saying that now. There's no reason a radio programme where people call in to share their experiences can't be good. Gordon Dryden did it 30 years ago. Unfortunately, things have slipped a bit since.

Never has a single person been so wrong so often and so egregiously about so many things.
Krauthammer.

But are you doing talkback?
In Hell.
