  • Hard News: The Civility Code,

    I am too busy giggling at the blutters proudly announcing that they love the CoC

  • Hard News: Oh Dear ...,

    hokay, so I've done a chunk of googling re: tamihere scandalous gossip. are we talking the psychokiller brother and the fact that he grew up in a big poor family?
    i know black and white supposedly gives a heart rending account of his woeful childhood trauma, but finding a review that actually goes into any detail is pretty tricksy. i suspect i will just forgoe the gossip as its not worth reading a whole book of dreck just for that small background info.

    meanwhile, re: outsourced smacking (way back in the dark ages a couple of weeks ago) fleshwound is being remade as exactly that service...

  • Hard News: Sunday newspaper prints…,

    I thought ross f went away?

    Meanwhile, am I the only one that immediately balks at claims like '$20m per life saved is too expensive'?

    Maybe I'm just being a big wuss lefty.

  • Island Life: A Special Public Address Message,

    He also uses 'Gary's Mod', which opens up the Half Life 2 engine (ironically, all the interesting stuff is in the shooters) and lets the user create stuff.

    lies! neverwinter nights (1&2 - RPG), total annihilation, and as of last week supreme commander (the not-sequel to TA - both RTS) are thoroughly mod friendly and interesting to tinker with.

    TA/SC especially, as apart from 3d modelling and physics stuff, you can get right down to the nitty gritty AI creation.

    FPS schmeff-pee-ess.

  • Hard News: That's Entertainment,

    So I unblocked PA in the adblocker (as per the earlier commnet - i had no idea you could do that).

    Except that then work servers promptly blocked most of the externally reffing ads as non-business. Oh well.

  • Hard News: The Arguments,

    Well I was gonna offer you some candy

    But that's a bit predatory now isn't it?

    Oh dear. And now we'll have someone claiming that because paedophiles use positive reinforcement, parents can't possibly (along with campaigning for a restriction on the ability of male primary teachers to purchase candy).

  • Hard News: Testify!,

    (e)To excite such hostility or ill will between different classes of persons as may endanger the public safety.

    Wow. If the sedition laws weren't almost entirely abused for evil purposes, they might almost be worth keeping just for that clause.

    The number of people liable over the last few years of political campaigning would be enormous.

  • Southerly: Great moments in Prime…,

    Anarchy the only answer.
    I don't mind that, but we could look into nuclear power as well.

    Nuclear Anarchy sounds like so much fun.
    Wait, I've played that before.
    So where do we keep the power armour in NZ?
