  • Hard News: Reasons to be cheerful,

    I've noticed Auckland traffic is mellower

    Might be partly re-learning economical styles of driving in light of petrol prices, and I wonder if the 70s were more relaxed for similar reasons.

    Cool inventions - now there's something it's ok to make up.

    And thanks Steve for injecting some actual evidence into the "discussion" at Chuck's other home.

    To forestall any misunderstanding, when I say "for others here" I'm including myself, btw - people other than whoever provides the info.

    And maybe the level of proof for civil as opposed to criminal cases, which seems relevant. I'd be grateful.

    Thanks for the link to the legislation, 3410.

    given the opportunity to refute

    Can someone perhaps post relevant legal references about presumption of innocence, to illuminate the concept for others here.

  • Up Front: The Missus,

    Fathers - I couldn't think of anything they specifically did

    Encourage their children to take risks, if we're running with the stereotypes.

    Be the bogeyman who dispensed physical punishment, for earlier generations. Kevin Ireland writes eloquently of the wave of suburban beatings that coincided with the return of fathers from work in his childhood. It seems "wait until your dad gets home" was no empty threat.

    the persil laundry powder ad, promoting dirt

    I love that campaign. It's as smart as one of Microsoft's early goals: "a computer on every desk and in every home".

  • Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

    Bruce Simpson talks about the industry making it hard to do the right thing:

    Right now I'm pretty sure I'm watching the recording industry shooting themselves in the foot again. Why complain so long and loud about people "stealing" your intellectual property and using it in their YouTube (or other) videos if you make it all but impossible for them to purchase legal use of that same material?
