    I'm sure I'd like an electric car too, I just don't want to pay current prices.

    Badoom-tish!

    By the way.... thats not a forecast on my part... I dont know enough to do that...

    But what I have heard a lot of, is "That wont happen again". "We've learnt our lessons, we wont make the same mistakes"

    It's comforting to hear, and I hope it's true.... but I also know how often statements like that are made by humans and they turn out false. :(

    Why not re-use the name that worked so well last time?

    Oh, that's right, we're all trying not to say it, huh?

    Depression.

  • Hard News: Speaking Freely,

    Lots of great responses to tech-y questions. Great to see the community helping each-other out...

    I'll just ask my one again incase it got lost inside the larger comment...

    Will the $250 Freeview-HD set-top box give noticeably better pictures than the $190 non-HD Freeview-satellite box when viewed through a 29" glass-tube TV?

    Cheers.

    Oh yeah..... the zinwell's had a bad rep when first on the market... has this been overcome with time?

  • Hard News: Speaking Freely,

    That $250 set top box Russell linked to is a web-purchase only offer that ends today! Get in quick if you want it.

    Seeing as I wont be buying a New TV any time soon, (Warehouse 29" glass tube telly) and get a perfect picture on TV1-2-3, close to perfect C4, slightly fuzzy but watchable prime and too fuzzy to watch Maori...

    Will the $250 HD terrestrial signal be visibly better on my (3 year) old telly than the $180 satellite receiver's non-HD signal? (I have an unused dish on the roof, so either will work for me)

    Cheers for any advise...

  • Island Life: The Art of the Deal,

    "... to make it harder for criminals awaiting trial to get bail"

    So, is this measure designed only to make it harder for people already convicted of something to get bail while waiting for trial of something else...

    Or have they just thrown away the whole "presumption of innocence" thing? Your not actually a criminal until you're found guilty right?

    Maybe thy wrote it, knowing that it sounds good to Laura Nauder types but doesnt actually apply in most situations?

  • Hard News: History is now,

    I think we need to pay homage to the political predictive genius that is Giovani Tiso...

    Suggesting a landslide over two weeks ago, when all the rest of us were hopeful but nervous...

    He spake, and thus it came to pass...
