  • Hard News: Walk the Line,

    The program logged your error rate and blew the whistle if your perception, reaction times or accuracy were impaired, whether it was from alcohol, wacky baccy, various other uppers and/or downers or even just fatigue. All of which should keep you off the road.

    This is exactly it, what you have taken shouldn't come into it at all. If you are not fit to drive you're not fit to drive. Some people are never fit to drive at the best of times. Other people don't get enough sleep, or whatever.

  • Flying Nun Moments,

    I really wish I had some Flying Nun memories of my own, but I don't due to spending a large amount of time growing up in the wopwops (with no tv/radio/outsideworld) and being too young for when FN was really big. It's great reading all of the ones that have been posted though.

    Now I love in the city though, whenever I'm listening to an FN album my stepdad always seems to have a story about being at their concerts, or having played music with them before (he played bass for Expendables/Breathing Cage). I guess what I should be doing is hassling him to put up a story.

    I'm going to have to second The Wiggles in regards to children's music. Will be interesting to see how they handle the disappearance of Greg.

    An album that is quite good is The Underwater Melon Man there's a track listing here, quite a few big name acts on this.

    I found this discussion up on the Apple support site. Apparently it's known that the NZ store is broken and that it's not an easy fix. :-(

  • Online NZ TV Schedule,

    Personally I prefer the TV Now guide. The vertical layout and the way the times match up with each other helps. The problem is that when it loses a feed for some reason it shows out dated data, instead of just not working like TVNZs offering.

    Someone did write a greasemonkey script to fix up the time matching on the TVNZ site at one stage. I'll have to have a look and see if I can crack it down again.

    It's as if someone forgot to flick the switch to enable the other two million songs that the media constantly mentions. Having a look at the Australian store shows a lot more music and the actual ability to browse. To wait or to start using the request page...

    I think the real beauty of buying music through iTunes (or any other online store) will be once record labels have their entire catalogues available. Being able to browse into the Flying Nun category and order chronologically would be excellent.

    I don't see the point in buying it through iTunes when I can easily walk down to the shops and buy it for a couple of dollars more. I can see huge potential in buying either out of print music, or obscure stuff that would cost $40+ to get imported.

    So everyone is well sorted with mirrored disk, RAID configs or at the very least a USB backup drive right?

    Of course I have. I'm sure I've heard that you can redownload songs you've purchased as well. Not entirely sure if that is accurate though.

    I just bought some iTunes exclusive The Flaming Lips EP, it had [CLEAN] beside all the track names but I couldn't find find another copy that was [EXPLICIT]. It's not censored either :D

    I'm really happy with the speed that the tracks download, go to love akamai. I have had better quality music videos for the same file size though.

  • Hard News: Something up with Apple?,

    Here it is
    Should hopefully be the right store.
