I also turn all of the sounds off on my cameras. Apart from the noises being stupid, it also makes it much more possible to take discrete photographs.
James Green: in a bush outside your house, late at night... but the man knows what he's doing with a camera!

You're right- but I recall the relevant issue wasn't about being public, it was that our copyright laws allow creating a new 2D artwork (photo/graphic) from the 3D one (sculpture) with copyright vested in the derivative work as if it was not derivative. Something like that. Must refresh memory when get time.
That would make my job easier, as we have thousands of slides of artworks. Sadly, our legal advice is otherwise.

If you don't want your creations photographed and those photos used, don't allow them in a public place in NZ.
He's got a bad lawyer if he loses that one or doesn't get a deal. Placing something in public doesn't relinquish copyrights, though it certainly opens them up to being used a lot.

Mark, I don't mean to harp on, but the fact that the information itself is not private doesn't entirely resolve matters for me. As I said earlier, what if it was a live feed of your door - still public 'information', but it's use and access are factors also - for me at least.
I am reminded of Michael Moore's "The Awful Truth" who put a web cam across the road of the apartment of Linda Tripp and posted the live feed on the internet.

Or maybe it's just that the dynamic of modern zombie films pushes characters into isolation, rather than population-rich cities, for survival reasons?
As a big fan of George Romero movies (I haven't seen I am Legend) that's just simple Zombie er... physics.
Lots of people means lots of future zombies. Out in the middle of no where, no humans, no potential zombies.
Unless it's Shaun of the Dead, in which case. obviously, a pub with glass windows is ideal!

The Crusaders' jersey? Seriously? A sword on the front?
The Southern Region Ice Hockey emblem (not actually used on any of the tops for good reason) which is a rep region for everything south of Christchurch is a picture of a knight sticking a sword through the head of some other guy on the ground.
He's the Isaia Toeava of coaching!
Not at all. His coaching is fine now, but you can't change a rugby's coaching, throughout the whole sport, or at the top level overnight. You have to change the culture - of players, coaches, officials, and administrators - and that often takes years. Even for minor changes.
If you think about what you'd have to do to change the English rugby team from their typical 10 man game, to a flowing, fast-running, exciting 15 man game. Anyone could tell the team to do that by giving instructions 10 minutes before kickoff. Doing it successfully so that you get a world-class team doing it - probably take a decade.

Of course, it's only a matter of time before one becomes the other. Someone is working out a way to mine saleable data from this system right now - I'd put money on it.
Dear Householder,
I was recently in your area and noticed that your house needed repainting/roof re-tiling/fence re-painting. I hope you don't mind that I've taken the opportunity to offer you our world class service, and if you respond to this letter, at a 25% discount...

According to a head Rebel Sport honcho, in the week they have been available, the grey Crusaders strip is flying out the door. Let's not forget the strip is about sales and not rugby.
Tell that to the officials at the World Cup quarter final who asked the ABs at halftime to change back into their black tops because it was getting confusing.
Yes merchandising of the tops is big, but the primary purpose still remains telling the two teams apart on the field when they play each other.

Am I just being ignorant when I think the hard data points to GH as the better coach?
I'm not sure if comparing the win records of the ABs versus the Wallabies is a fair way to judge the coaches. There's this little thing of the players and their talent. Australia has less depth, lesser domestic competitions bringing up young talent, less successful at all levels of the game - sevens, age group etc.
Robbie Deans is probably the greatest coach we've seen at the level below internationals in the professional era. The test of of Robbie Deans at the international level will be in three years when he's had a chance to have some impact upon Australian rugby. Six months you can't do that much.

Crazy. We should make every team play all their away games in pink until they sort it out.
Heh. I can hear the changing rooms now:
"With all respect to Dan Carter, the new tops look a bit French don't they?"
