  • Hard News: Laying Down the Law,

    Russel Watkins was the Libz candidate for Tauranga last election. What's he done...

    heh.

  • Hard News: The drugs don't (always) work,

    My mate used to sell mixed herbs as dope & his mums laxatives as speed at school. All accounts came back that it was good shit.

    Pun intended, I hope.

  • Hard News: The drugs don't (always) work,

    I, for one, have quietly emailed the journalist to suggest he ask his sub-editors to change the headline at least. Given it doesn't hold true to his story or the study, it seems particularly cavalier when dealing with mental health topics...

    It's not just the Herald - I spotted the story earlier this morning on the Guardian...

    Prozac, used by 40m people, does not work say scientists

    ...and a quick Google News search reveals many more.

  • Hard News: A thing that rarely ends well,

    ...but everyone would know the difference, the moment they flamed it and it failed to grasp anything about what they were saying...

    I think that would make it more believable.

  • Hard News: Not so much ironic as outrageous,

    She is making excuses for the police in not prosecuting. See link below.

    Can you please quote the part of that article where Kiro makes excuses for the police's inaction?

  • Hard News: Not so much ironic as outrageous,

    ...arrogance of the left never ceases to amaze me...

    ... paedophile friendly government...

    ... It appears a waste of time to trying to engage the left in intelligent debate. All they are capable of is name calling, distortion and out and out lies...

    It's almost like Redbaiter has popped in to spread his wisdom on all things 'left'.

  • Hard News: Recreations,

    I'm sure that if I'd been watching the game on TV, those modern sages, the commentators, would have been all over it.

    Murray Mexted has never seemed to show any grasp of the rules in the past - I can't see why things would've changed now. ;)

  • Hard News: Another nail in the coffin of…,

    Where else are people allowed to consume the product then decide not to pay?

    Libraries?

  • Hard News: Must Try Harder,

    It's a serious bottleneck anyhoo.

    Yeah, no arguing that. But 'cut off'? I don't think so. Just did a tracert on tehrantimes.com: 15 hops to get to 62.193.18.228.dpi.ir

  • Hard News: Must Try Harder,

    Iran is totally cut off.

    Or not, as the case may be.

    From the slashdot thread I linked to...

    A quick perusal of, e.g., newspaper web sites in Iran [onlinenewspapers.com] finds every one I have tried working fine, including all state-run media. As is the web site of the Government of Iran [www.iran.ir] and numerous other government and press web sites physically located in Iran. See for yourself. [google.com] (And yes, I am aware that simply ending in .ir does not mean the site is necessarily physically in Iran, but you can easily verify [arin.net] that nearly all of them are.)
