Maybe it exit-polling, or the AP calling it?

OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to andin,
So there is a guy who lives OS is a hacker and is employed by DD, who set up the kiosks.
I thought DD just did a security audit of the kiosks, and they'd been setup internally. That's stretching my memory of things through this & other comments & articles threads a bit though.
Also, wouldn't you want to know that the people you are hiring to assess your security are capable of breaking stuff like what you're trying to deploy?

If that story is the result of a tip from the ministry side, things are getting very shabby indeed.
Ugh, beginning to feel all conspiracy theorist or something but again i'm wondering if a big part of the story is where it came from, just like who leaked Ira's name.

OnPoint: The Source, in reply to Lucy Bailey,
Who outed Ira to the MSM?
That's one of the more interesting questions at the moment, knowing who is trying to spin might help to pinpoint where those people are worried blame might fall.

You'd need to have understanding of the directory structures that are shown to you, and be able to guess which ones had the data you were interested in.
I read it a little differently. Say you have plenty of time on your hands, a reasonable reason for being in the WINZ office, using the kiosks relatively frequently, and an inquisitive mind.
From what I've understood from the screenshots & various comments around here, that'd probably be all you needed. Eventually you'd open something interesting.

Realising that this may reveal my inner & immature 14 year old, but how about Post Mastication Rumination?

I honestly think many people who voted National thought that "nice Mr Key" wouldn't really go through with the sales...
Having spoken to my father - who as far as I know has always been a true rural National Party supporter - I think there may be reasonable support for selling the shares into SuperFund / KiwiSaver schemes amongst his part of the populace.

It really used to grind my gears when friends of mine whose parents had multi million dollar farms would be getting full student allowances,
Except that student allowance eligibility was calculated on parental income, not value of assets held by your parents (or more likely the bank).

the wealthy income earners are actually mostly wage slaves like doctors, plumbers, teachers, nurses, police officers and so on," she told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking
Doctors aren't exactly the sort of people normally associated with being a wage slave are they? I haven't met many poor ones.

And you can watch it, direct, unedited, on the web, every day it sits.
You certainly can; i've got to say I was very pleasantly surprised to see how often Parliamentary TV gets turned on & watched in our office lunchroom.
