  • Hard News: Media 7,

    i could turn off adblock for public address i suppose...

    hmm i just tried and it hurt my eyes. i hate flashing ads.

    Firefox 33.5 %

    yikes. that must be higher than the worldwide average, surely.
    do you have a figure on how many people block adverts?

    RB, you mentioned the new freeview boxes will have networking capability of some sort?? does that mean they could stream media from your pc? THAT would be cool

    Of course, if everyone opted out, I couldn't justify spending much time on the site ...

    i do feel a little guilty about that (us chardonnay socialists are always feeling guilty about something). i could turn off adblock for public address i suppose...

    just out of curiosity, what percentage of PA readers use firefox?

    ...on the other hand, i was stoked to hear the cornwall accent. everyone told me it was your typical farmer's accent, but i knew they were all pirates

    Honestly, as a non-native English (or Nuzild-ish) speaker I cringe how English is mangled on these shaky isles.

    i cringed when i arrived in london and heard the east lundun accent. sounded like baby talk

    Hacker targets Herald free speech poll

    nzherald.co.nz"s technical team has established that a single hacker managed to vote more than 5000 times in a period of about 10 minutes.

    The hacker was using a dynamic xtra IP address - 222.152.66.116. (The "reverse lookup" is 222-152-66-116.jetstream.xtra.co.nz.)

  • Hard News: The Finance Campaign,

    On Thursday night, both the Veils and Liam Finn sold out their shows

    tell me about it, the kings arms was jam packed - i was about 10 metres back and it still felt like a mosh pit. The Veils were awesome though. Finn sang like he was going to die and their drummer totally kicked ass.

    By comparison, I thought the Phoenix Foundation were a bit lacking in energy. Languid is a nice way to put it i suppose. They're like the dire straits of NZ music

    so, did i miss my last chance to see garageland, or will they be playing again soon?
