    And does nothing to stop the damn leak.

    Well, they've announced they're not going to nuke it, so I don't know what's next...

    Has the power now been extended to the proles? Sniff, how will I know I'm special now?

    It has. But you do still have the epithet "Moderator" under your avatar... and I guess that will have to do

    Oh okay. Just doesn't show up in preview. Or something.

    Yep. I think that shows it's working. Or something.

    But now that you can edit a post it doesn't matter all that much if you get it wrong :-)

    So, $350,000 for an artwork celebrating sport? It is about art v sport.

    It's also about art v public libraries, etc. Why is the Cuba carnival more important than books for all?

    Go with tossers. Some of the behaviour this week has been unbelievable.

    And yet the Union represents us, and every other blogger in New Zealand :-)

    I hope they don't change that name for the remake. On the grounds of acknowledging history.

    Should they also acknowledge history by changing the name to Trigger for the American release (as that's what was done for the 1955 original)?

    In fact the Queen is our Commander-in-Chief. (Of course, the powers are exercised by the G-G).

    I refer you to section 6 of the Defence Act 1990:

    The Governor-General, by virtue of being Commander-in-Chief of New Zealand, shall have such powers and may exercise and discharge such duties and obligations relating to any armed forces raised and maintained under section 5 as pertain to the office of Commander-in-Chief.

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    I ... have been quietly waiting for a subscriber on demand model that goes beyond the cable style models I have seen in the past.

    This is an important issue for many conservatives in the US - they object to the bundling of various cable channels, as this means they can't get the wholesome channels they want without also paying for filth.

  • Hard News: The Future of the Future,

    ... the networks do their best to make the show look like a proper (ie US / UK / Aus.) operation, instead of understanding that the purpose is the transmission of timely and relevant information.

    There are live crosses in US news - I occasionally watch ABC World News - but often what would be a live cross here involves turning to the, say, political editor, who is now sitting in the desk next to them - rather than a live cross to wet, deserted Parliamentary forecourt.
