Porcupine farm has this to say.
Excellent visuals. Great effort. I'd give an A- if I was the Teacher. :)

Hard News: Fluency, ease of manner - and…, in reply to Tom Semmens,
And let’s face it, how many of us had the balls to stand up to the bullies at school?
ME!
I absolutely agree with you there Tom. Why, just today my good friend said, (after her review at the ADHB) “Why is it the nice peeps always come last?” Because they are polite and considerate, honest with integrity. And they usually have empathy. I don’t believe that the job of a politician should have bully, thuggish behaviour as a prerequisite. Unfortunately National has it in spades.ETA. I was never bullied at school but I saw others bullied, I had no choice but to stand up for them and was quite good at mouthing off to stop any sort of discriminatory behaviour. I have no idea why I couldn't stand it, just that it was wrong. And moi, usually such a quiet wee thing....

It would be interesting to know what the real story is, either way Campbell Live have had plenty of time to prepare.
Well yes, to prepare for the PM's office all questions to be put to him. As I saw it Key wouldnt let him speak at all. JC managed a few questions, that was it. And of any questions submitted ,how many were crossed out?
I personally was more interested to get some info. We got PR spin of which I now feel has become the main discussion point being played out. I fear they got exactly what they intended and anyone in JC's position that night would have been frustrated beyond all. So beside all the bullshit, can anyone tell us anything new other than of course the carrot offered up today and of course as Ian D said makes the law now entirely up for interpretation again. -

A couple of years ago (God! it seems like forever) I remember Key standing alongside the Bennett Bomb and declaring it was all really about stick and carrot, . It appears it is all about slick and parrot. Anything to remain popular, truth fallen by the wayside.
What I saw on Campbell Live the other night was politicking, not any policy interview.
I would suspect that Crosby Textor are still on the National Party payroll and Key's office having complete control of the questions being put was probably a big part of how he was groomed to respond. I'm not sure it was wise to allow him on when as a current affairs show, it seems the spontaneous stuff excites the listeners and the announcement of the impending gloom showing his face was just that for many, thus up the ratings must have occurred, but how can we get common sense when all everyone is looking for is "gotcha" soundbites. -
Exclusive to Herald this morning.....

Hard News: The Real Threat, in reply to Paul Campbell,
I suspect the red spot tagged as being in NZ is really sitting on NZ in general and implies that theres some peering spot somewhere (or some spots) where they have this equipment installed (like the prism in the fibre in the AT&T exchange in SF).
Oh, you mean Spy Valley...?

Don’t trust that to be secure! If you must DIY your cryptography, at least generate your own random keys!
Now, there's a thing. Random is statistically impossible as the input will always out-weigh the output. ie. there will always be outside influences, like... the name of your first dog as a password if you have an obvious affection for dogs.
Codes can only be as complex as the individuals that use them, the people who need to use code are the people that think they should have to hide from other groups of people and, to be honest, V guvax gurl ner gjngf. -
