This is what I meant a few weeks back about 1 day of democracy, 3 years of totalitarianism.

Go easy on the yoga/outrage Emma, I've got a friend here, who's been laid up in bed for a month with a yoga injury.

seems potentially cheaper and safer not to enrol your child than to risk two cases of truancy.

thanks Russell.
Most disturbing snippet I just read about this bill is this:
"The bill also contains provision for a huge increase in fines for the parents of truants, from $150 to $300 for the first offence and from $400 to $3000 for second and subsequent offences. The penalty for failing to enrol children in school will jump from $1000 to $3000 a year."
in the midst of the alleged greatest depression since 1929?
like Ian said above;instead on support for underachievers. Sad!

if there's an editor in the house, could all this '160@ ...' business be removed?

There have been a hundred great New Zealand music videos? I'd have thought 100 pretty good music videos might be a more fitting title.
my two noms are, obviously not included in the competition, because I lack networking skills, which as APRA and NZMIC will go to great pains to inform us every May are the most essential skill to garner success in the music field:

http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=QdkhRlMpeSsThis education policy is only going to breed corruption. I'm reminded of an instance in 2006 when working for BSFU, having completed the training to become a BEC examiner (the internationally 'standardized' Cambridge University Business English Certification). In final preparations for the exam, the professors (who were concurrently in negotiations with Nottingham University) , contravening the specified procedure, instructed us to remove certain questions from the exam, citing them as being too difficult for Chinese students.
Ultimately the Beijing results were more or less in line with those of other countries.
Being the only foreign examiner, I questioned this and wasn't invited to examine again.
I'm not convinced such corrupt meddling won't be considered by HMs and HODs in the NZ education system, in order to preserve jobs and funding.
and I'm pretty certain, a tolerance for this breed of ideological laxity is what brought Fonterra to their knees here.

You're right, RoO; just looked it up and apparently Flac can handle up to 32 bits per sample, up to 1,048 Khz sampling rate, and up to 8 channels, which is to say (by my rough calculations) about 400 times as much as CD audio.
then you can sell it on itunes at 256k

strangely 'lossless' sounds very similar to the adj my trust manager used before he lost all my money
-
In this sense "lossless" means no loss in relation to CD audio.
in this sense waterboarding≠torture
u helped to redefine 'less loss' as 'lossless.'
disband the ministry of truth."If I make an original track in Ableton, then the WAV/Flac export is the definitive version"
Unfortunately there's next to no original music recorded on digital,
in this sense original 'new; fresh; inventive; novel'
Or even any kind of analog audio.
medals, sincerely.
it's a temporally linear artform, in which tens of albums have been recorded in a temporally linear format.
now reproduced in a temporally sequestered format.
speaks for itself
