    But- But- what have cows got to do with supermarkets?? That's where meat is made, isn't it?

  • Hard News: The Casino,

    Hamish is actually a regular commentator on technology for Mora's afternoon show. I introduced him at an event once, when we were both gummint employees, as NZ's only stand-up technologist. I just wish he was on someone else's show, because I can't stand Mora.

    Sadly true, Joe, and my tongue was trying to escape through my cheek somewhat, by I've never been a big fan of yelling incomprehensibly into a microphone and whatever message they were trying to make was lost in the fact that I couldn't hear it. And while the conceit of the video wasn't bad, it wasn't going anywhere by the time I switched it off, so perhaps I missed the controversial bit. Also, might have helped if George had provided some context as to the banning etc.

    But I should have included a smiley, so as not to confuse. (Still crap, but)

  • Hard News: Top of the Populism,

    I would love Garth McVicar to be convicted of something, just so we could agree with him about being hard on crime ;-)

    I think that's the viewpoint of people who never use libraries, and think it's just a place where you store books.

    However, we can hold out some hope that Mr Finlayson's solution will still have to pass through parliamentary process.

    This video, on the other hand... Banned on Youtube.

    Might that not have something to do with it being absolute crap?
    Just sayin'

    Was it even up to them?

    Better question: WHY was it even up to them?

    Interesting though that Telstra cited the displeasure amongst its customers as one of the key reasons for pulling out.

    I did it!

    Me too! ;-)

    And robbery:

    That the Telecommunications Carriers Forum couldn't see their way clear to writing into the code a system for addressing the almost universally acknowledge flaw of guilt upon accusation is pathetic.

    did they even try?

    Yes, they did, having talked to a few that have been involved. They tried very hard.

    You know, not everyone approaches these things the way you seem to...
