  • Cracker: Sole Man,

    And, surely, you don't have to like George Bush to wonder what the hell was achieved by (in that cultural context) being as insulting and degrading as possible. Regular readers might have picked up that I have little respect for the government of Iran. But if I had Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pinned down at a press conference, I'd rather take the opportunity to ask a pointed question or two than call him a pig and slap him in the head with a cheap Manolo knock off. (Why waste the real thing?)

    Get back to me when Ahmadinejad has lied, bullied and manipulated his way into an unjust war causing the deaths of upwards of a million of your countrymen, -women, children & babies, displacing millions etc. etc.

  • Hard News: Essay Question,

    There are no shortage of tinfoil hat wearers on the Internet who will tell you that it was never disbanded.

    Why is that so unlikely?

    Only those of a redistributionist mindset believe that someone else has to miss out on medicine when National increases funding for one drug... It must come out of general taxation.

    Whether funding comes Health allocations or from the general fund or from wherever, it can only be spent once; the obligation to spend it most effectively remains.

    ... the actions may be interpreted on the other hand by the electorate as the new government just getting stuck in and more or less doing what they said they were going to do...

    Two-thirds of respondents to this poll seem to feel that way.

  • Island Life: Keynote speaker: Paula…,

    we all suspect that after a week in the job, Paula Bennett didn't know whether it was needed either.

    No suspicion required. She said so yesterday.

    "If I make an original track in Ableton, then the WAV/Flac export is the definitive version"

    You're right, RoO; just looked it up and apparently Flac can handle up to 32 bits per sample, up to 1,048 Khz sampling rate, and up to 8 channels, which is to say (by my rough calculations) about 400 times as much as CD audio.

    I do not feel your "sadness" that this isn't how all workers are governed.
