  1. High Priest of the KLF on Jedi == Religion In NZ · · Score: 1

    A workmate got his census form returned titled "incomplete" when he put his occupation and religion down as "High Priest of the KLF" here in NZ. Be proud! vote Kuthulu! (we only need 8000 votes to make it a real religion!)

  2. What about us Kuthuluans? on Jedi == Religion In NZ · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about the great Kuthulu. He will reign above all. Remember, and vote Kuthulu!

  4. Re:Neet video - bad compression on LOTR Internet-Only Trailer · · Score: 1

    Don't blame us... blame Newline. Sure we do the effects and the movies, but they converted that!

  5. Re:power mac cases on The Ultimate PC Case - Continued · · Score: 1

    Sgi workstations (eg 330's) have nice cases, Hard drive bays are mounted horizontally to the cdrom for easy access for example. and unlike Mac hardware, isn't Proprietary.

  7. disappointing... on Undernet In Serious Trouble: Any Suggestions? (Updated) · · Score: 1

    Undernet brings new people together everyday. Ive lost count of the aquaintences I made over IRC/undernet. The people who DOS top quality free public services like this are nothing more than scum. There should be some kind of black list made to prevent ISP accounts being opened for these jerks. The NZ server was permanently taken offline for this reason, and now connecting is more difficult than ever. Thanks a lot guys.

    Unfortunately, Car thieves use this method with car alarms frequently...

  9. Re:More and more computing power... What for ? on Intel RoadMap with P4 Stats To Boot · · Score: 1

    many situations REQUIRE as much power as you can throw at them. Next time you watch a Sci fi movie, think about how much processing is required to produce the special fx. if an Artist had to wait 2mins for a screen to refresh, said artist would get upset and then beat the crap out of said screen... while YOU may not need performance, others Do. Im in a situation where if a computer doesn't have 512Mb ram, then its useless. Anyway, just opening your mind.

  10. Re:Pentium4 on Intel RoadMap with P4 Stats To Boot · · Score: 1

    Id buy an Onyx to impress my mates... If I could afford the power bill...

  11. AMD on Intel RoadMap with P4 Stats To Boot · · Score: 1

    I think AMD is going the right way to start trying to produce SMP for everyday consumers. As later on in the future, Parallel processing will become more and more important. I expect to see some exciting development come from this. Where I work, the standard Desktop is a SGI 330 with dual 733 or 800 PIII's, and I eagerly await the Dual Athlons!

  12. HP-visualize-fx^10 on 3dfx Drops Video Card Division · · Score: 1

    anyone know where there are some benchmarks on this card? Im staring at one now, its in a Dual proc 1Ghz P3 system, and this video card looks more impressive than any other card ive seen. http://www.hp.com/workstations/products/linux/grap hics/index.html

  13. Re:Mozilla on Netscape 6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    runs well on an Onyx2 too:) but I dont like the standard Window manager much. Im using Gnome - Sawfish. which is quite nice, and it even keeps the settings constant when I use linux boxes!

    im using 6.2 anyway. (still using 6.0?)

  15. Re:GPS becomes mandatory in USA for mobile phones on Authentication Via Geographical Location? · · Score: 1

    I sympathise! Keypad works fine for me under irix...

  20. Mozilla on Netscape 6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Does RH bundle Mozilla yet? if so... I can't see much point in sticking with nutscrape. Under Irix, ive had no problems. but under Linux, Ive had all sorts of bugs, eg stability issues with +4 windows, bus errors when sending email etc...

  21. Nutscrape on Netscape 6.0 Released · · Score: 2

    I personally believe that netscape is the worst piece of software thats ever been ported to linux. Id much prefer IE in windows, but Im not a windows user! Here at weta we have lots of linux and lots of irix boxes... and I can say that Netscape is far more stable under irix. Anyone else noticed that Netscapes Javascript dies even at Netscapes own webmail page? weird huh?

  22. give Passwords? on NZ Government Pushes For Wide Spying Powers · · Score: 1

    Hell no. wakeywakey, I personally can't believe that the Government of Good'ol Aotearoa could maintain a secure network. Imagine having a database of everyones ISPs and Passwords hacked? I prefer to look after my own security thnx.
