Media 7 tonight at 9.05pm on TVNZ 7.
Yee haa! I hope they got your best angles, Jack. ;-)
Media 7 is a great show.

Up Front: Something Chronic, in reply to Emma Hart,
Haven’t seen him around lately either, have you?
Taking a leaf from your own book? ;-)
Really sorry to hear you're feeling crappy though. Take care of yourself. I recommend my toyoharist for keeping one step ahead of collapse...but you know that.
Hugs!

Capture: Howling at the Moon, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Wowee!!
Reminds me of my first time camping at Lake Ohau, it was cloudy when we went to bed; when I got up to answer a call of nature in the night, I stumbled blearily out of the tent, and then stumbled again, because of how the sky was packed with the most brilliant stars I'd ever seen.

Antymatter
Looks like Joyce is finally getting some use out of his (free?) Zoology degree
Joyce ups the anty? (the opposite of an anty depressant)
Does that make him an agony ant? Or perhaps an ant-agonist? -

He said it 3 pages back.
Yes, I realise that. I'm just trying to understand what he's arguing.

OnPoint: Student Loans are Loans (Duh.), in reply to BenWilson,
many people can have input into the decision, including the shop floor scientists, the scientists who are somewhere up the chain towards management, the specialist managers, and the people who have to pay for it all decide. Also, the books have to balance, or it’s unsustainable, so accountants really do need to be involved.
You're saying that several people, and several types of expert, need to be involved in funding decisions? How is that controversial? I don't think anyone here would disagree with that.

Presumably, then, we should ignore anything teachers have to say about education policy
No, same comment, they’re a part of the decision making process, but not the only part.
How have teachers have any say in recent educational policy decision-making? Apart from saying they won’t do what the govt wants, and being threatened by the govt.

OnPoint: Student Loans are Loans (Duh.), in reply to Matthew Poole,
such a strong culture of anti-elitism has a strong culture of intellectual snobbery
I have an Arts degree from Canty and a BDes from CPIT. When I started the BDes it had just become a degree programme and there was a strong feeling in the department that we had something to prove. Boy did they make us work hard!! Far harder than I ever worked at Uni. Not apples with apples, I know. But I reckon I worked 2-3 times harder, at least. In a largely practical course, there is no coasting along and making it up at the end.
