    Damn that open source movement and their Christmas wrecking capabilities!

    Damn you pretty Nelson types...It's free as in anti-slavery not as in beer.

    I too have to pay for Xmas.

    So much to work with, where to begin...

    Personally I'd like to know how "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" fits into the Christian political programme.

    Actually, this was Jesus' prescient response to a version of today's cry "it's our money". Ceasar, IIRC, was not of Judeo-Christian persuasion.

    Judeo-Christian

    is a neo-Con term to disassociate with Islam. In evolutionary terms is Islam not more "advanced" whilst Judeo-Christians represent the dinosaurs?

    The self riighteousness of any group is dwarfed by the self riighteousness of the political left.

    Yeah riiight. I thought "the left" were supposed be craven, guilt ridden, apologists.

    Finally to Danyl and an attempt to tie it all together:

    I have trouble with all the capital letters mid - command. Good thing biShop taMaki never learNed to code.

    God Save Us from Biologists who think they can program. That was always my problem reading "The Blind Watchmaker" - I kept wanting to scream - that program is so fscked.

    Re- the Apple patch. It's a bugger isn't it. They took a perfectly decent open source OS, added some eye candy, closed it up, made it proprietary and screwed their customers.

    Way to go Apple.

    Still, if you like shiny over everything else (think iPhone next) rinse and repeat.

    See, there's the difference - Bill finding cures for Malaria and Aids and you...you want to buy the NZRFU.

  • Hard News: Get a Clue,

    Those MediaDefender emails contain some useful tips:

    Team,

    Please make sure you take your lunch from the refrigerator HOME.

    A salad was disposed to garbage can do to mold on food. Some molds can cause allergic reactions &/or respiratory problems.

    Thanks

    There was talk at OSCON 2007 by Rick Falkvinge, the founder of the Swedish Pirate Party is pretty interesting on Copyright issues.

    Here is the video.

    And it's not just the All Blacks, New Zealand as a whole benefits, to be honest.

    My nomination for quote of the year.

  • Hard News: The Soap Opera,

    Holmes + ads = the reasons I stopped watching TV.

    TVNZ can't have the Ministry of Culture and Heritage sitting on its shoulder forever.

    No shit, these are the guys that think they should be able to shift SH1's route through Wellington's centre without asking for resource consent. I don't think I would want them on my shoulder either.

  • Stories: Endings,

    you're kidding! you mean there's at least one person i didn't get the spoilers to before the they read the book!!

    It was more the "remedial reading lessons" I was worried about.

    The outcome was never in doubt.

  • Hard News: Not Okay,

    The MO exposed in The Hollow Men, accuse your opponents of doing exactly the sort of thing you are doing yourself to deflect attention from what you are doing.

    I've written more books than Anderton's read.

    Character assassination, Muldoonism, yadda yadda. I wonder whether Basset is ghosting these columns for Moore, there seems to be a certain consistency of approach.
