  • Hard News: Where nature may win,

    "Why didn't they just waterproof a robot" is possibly one of the stupidest things I've heard. Especially from the same people baying for instant action.

  • Hard News: Do you like what we've done…,

    Apologies if this was mentioned in previous 13 pages but it lays out differently based on iPad orientation - swank!

  • Hard News: Sunday in Super City,

    I'm trying to work out the path for the rail loop - station at KRd links to Mt Eden so where will the track run under the motorway? Seems the gradients won't work unless the tracks are waaaaaay down

    Edit: Never mind, found map. So basically looks like you have a KRd station at about Pitt St, then one at top of Khyber Pass (Symonds St) then Mt Eden. Goes from KRd to Khyber right under CMJ so yeah must go pretty deep at the stations as the difference in height from the bottom of the CMJ to top of Khyber/Symonds corner is pretty serious

  • Hard News: This is what we have to work with,

    Maybe it's getting lost in text but man Gordon Cambell comes across as a dick in that Werewolf interview

  • Hard News: Behind the Paywall,

    Interesting timing on the Times paywall news - my stepmother-in-law passed away in the UK a fortnight or so ago and was "important" enough for the Times to run a full-page obituary on her.
    So my wife hit the web to read this tribute to her stepmum but even obituaries are behind the paywall. Classy, thanks Mr Murdoch.

  • Cracker: That's Not My Name,

    As I understood it, both

    Equal opportunist then. Nothing like managing to offend everyone in a simple two sentences...

  • Cracker: That's Not My Name,

    I missed Haden's actual comments - did he say that a rugby team does better without so many "darkies", or did he say that the Crusaders specifically limit the number they have?

    One seems offensive to "darkies", while the other is offensive to Cantabs.

  • OnPoint: Budget 2010: What’d you expect?,

    And for all this supposed waste in Govt spending, the major thing they had to cut was early childhood education? Doesn't scream "lots of fat in the system to just chop out" to me...
