    Come back when you've worked in Big Pharma, the man-hating Lesbian-Marxists and the Jooows...

    Well Daniel's got the Jew angle. Big Pharma... well that's so obvious that I don't need to mention it.

    Lesbian Marxists? The virus was released by the Zapatistas!

    I'll have ex-Rangitoto College principal Peachy worked in by the time you get back from lunch.

    Also, if you genuinely have got swine flu/marburg disease/lassa fever and you survive and your co-workers die, it's possible that the natural reduction in headcount might help you avoid redundancy.

    It's the ideal ring wingnut response to the economic crisis. 9 Day working week? Too much overhead. Kill one in ten with a virus? Ideal...

    That would cost a fortune in royalties. (All your threads are belong to Copyright Must Change).

    LOL.

  • Hard News: Veitch,

    They could follow it up.They should keep public order, dammit!

    I can't say I'm impressed that someone misled the people who provided the references and altered at least one of them.

    It's not a matter of public order though. I suspect the police thought about it for five minutes and don't see much point in pursuing it. The opinions that the people put on paper were obviously held by them, the opinions haven't been altered as far as we know, just the purpose to which the letter was put.

    I don't know if it qualifies as altering a 'document' under the law. It's not a legal form or a contract etc. Even if it does, it's got to be right down the end of the scale.

    What would be gained by the police trying to find out who altered the document, and then prosecuting them? Sounds like a lot of work for not much at all. Probably a matter for the law society and the court to do something about rather than the police.

    Yeah, but NYI need all the help they can get. So consider it a donation to the needy.

    This live update of NZ power usage is geeky cool.

  • Hard News: Dear Prudence,

    What do you think? It clearly benefits the lucky punter who gets a PVR, we get a little money, and -- hopefully -- the conversation is worthwhile.

    What Giovanni said. I'd add, be not only upfront to us, but to the rest of the world about how it works. "We" are all familiar with you and your work, but Drinnan can post that story and probably get support from people who aren't us. Probably not a big thing, but there's potential PASers in that group which is part of your business community.

  • Hard News: It would be polite to ask,

    Area size of your shop is indeed a bizarre measure by which to deny someone a licence to sell alcohol.

    Alcohol doesn't even take up much room.

    They still spanked us 5-1. Probably could have afforded to give him some ice time.

    Ahem. This would be the time to talk about my Anaheim Ducks being 2-1 up over the Presidents Trophy winning San Jose Sharks?

    (no I don't want to hear about game four's result, I'll hopefully be downloading it tonight)

    No that's not weird:

    Washington Capitals Web Site producer, who played third tier ice hockey as a college student, suited up and warmed up for the Washington Capitals in their game vs Ottawa Senators last December, and then sat on the bench for the first period as backup. Their #1 goaltender was injured, and their third option couldn't get to the game until the 2nd period. So the web site producer warmed up and sat as backup for the goalie, Johnson, who was carrying a hip injury and was complaining about it as warm up. Sadly (though not for the Captials) Leonhardt didn't get any game time.

    Gareth,

    It sounds like an accounting trick to make everyone pay a bit extra voluntarily for renewable electricity that we already get at the normal price.
