Ummm. Not really. I'm a medical student, I'm in the cold part of the South Island. There's not really anywhere tropical in New Zealand, your best shot is somewhere up north, e.g. the bay of islands, Auckland.
Auckland is our biggest city (1 million people), and looking for employment would be best there. Cost of living is quite high compared to the rest of the country.
Laws etc wise, I'm not really sure, as the only laws I hear about are on/. Medicine on the plane I doubt would be an issue, but I'm not qualified to answer that question.
Something to think about is that the prevailing attitude in New Zealand is somewhat anti-american, although this is mostly due to American foriegn policy, and the current president, as opposed to the people.
From what I've discovered of Americans in NZ (exchange students mostly), as long as your open-minded enough to accept a world outside of the US, and aren't to vocal about Americas being superior, people will get on just fine with you. All in all, it's a pretty sweet country to live in.
Sorry I can't be more help in the matter. All the best.
Well, seeing as it was in Australia, which doesn't actually have a law known as the DMCA, and the RIAA is an american company (ARIA is the company you're after), I'd you probably need to RTFA. Different laws in different countries. Weird eh?
That's all well and good for people who are sitting at a desk or doing basic exams. But what about in surgery, autopsies etc etc? You can't really expect the surgeon to make an incision and then walk away from the table and type it up. Dictation always has a place
Or maybe he "upgraded" to WinME. I typed upgraded in quotes, because the only reason I liked it when I tested it was Spider Solataire, what a crap excuse for an OS.
Until they also ask AT&T to whitelist them, spammers work on sheer volume, and could simply ask to be whitelisted en masse. It will either have to be automated and they win, or they'll flood the network with requests and screw it up for everyone else who tries to white list.
Heh. That's what I like about my mum. She's IT Manager for the branch of the company where she works. She administers *nix, Novell and MS OS's all day long. She tells me when to patch my machines long before slashdot.
I would have thought that it would have been more than this. There's a lot of P2P sharers out there, and surely some of them wouldn't understand the ramifications of what they were doing. Then they see this, think "that's good, I won't get into trouble now", and get a clean slate. 838 is ridiculously low.
Rubbish! You've made what (IMHO) are two fundamental flaws with your arguement:
You're assuming that they made the choice. I doubt most of the people who you are alluding to in that statement actually chose windows over linux.
Who's to say that they're wrong? I choose windows over linux for my notebook because itfits better for the needs I have. On my desktop I run Mandrake 9.1. Am I wrong?
You know what. The only time I've ever used a handgun, I did not use it to shoot anyone. I was on a pistol range, shooting at targets. It's very fun and not the slightest bit illegal.
Every single person I know who uses Kazaa, uses it to download music. Go figure.
After visiting Hiroshima on a school trip, and seeing the awesome destruction of nuclear weapons, I have been scared witless of them. It didn't help that I was also in Tokyo when they had their nuclear "accident".
I have no objections to a healthy debate about nuclear weapons, but you have to think that their main task is wholesale destruction.
The medical school where I study is attached to the hospital where I will do my clinical work next year. I haven't done it, but if I wanted to, I could put on a tie, put my stethescope around my neck, and run wild for hours without being found out.
Had to get my notes out for this one. For a start, I have no idea what the song is on about. However, in general, L-Dopa (The L stands for Levo), is a treatment for Parkinson's disease, in which there is destuction of the dopamine producing cells in the brain. The idea being to top-up the dopamine which isn't being produced, therefore reducing the symptoms of Parkinsons.
L-Dopa is not dopamine, but a close relative, which gets turned into Dopamine by a couple of enzymes, one of which is in the brain. The reason that you give L-Dopa instead of dopamine is that you have to give high doses to get across what is known as the blood-brain barrier, so it can get into the brain tissue. Dopmaine in the doses you'd need to give, will make you incredibly sick, L-dopa doesn't do this to the same extent.
Therefore by giving L-Dopa to parkinson's patients, you can get the L-Dopa into the brain, get it converted to Dopamine, and let it work it's magic.
IAAMS (Med Student). Basically what he is doing is showing off. But more to the point.
LSD doesn't normally cause delusions.
Cocaine and amphetamines do. They work on a part of the brain, that has to do with the neurotransmitter (a chemical signal) called dopamine.
The way that most anti-psychotic (i.e. anti-schizophrenia drugs work, is to block a type of receptor (the bit that gets the chemical signal), called the D2 receptor.
From this, it is postulated that the delusions you get with schizophrenia are related to having too much dopamine acting on those receptors.
Therefore, cocaine and amphetamines, which increase dopamine at the receptors, probably cause the same delusions as schizophrenia.
There might be other chemicals involved too.
That probably confused you just as much, but I hope that makes the gibberish make sense.
What are you talking about? He's claiming that he's some websites wont let him purchase items from him, as they won't ship to Hungary. He then wonders what the point of allowing people to reach these sites is, if they only post to the states. I don't think he's stupid, like you are trying to point out.
It seems as if Hungary isn't doing too well out of this. I live in New Zealand and have recently bought a Dell Laptop (although granted, they have a NZ subsidary), and I've bought several items (not just books) from Amazon with no problems, among others.
I have however heard that some places blacklist NZ credit cards for some reason. I haven't struck it, but there we go.

I wish I metamoderated more so I could have mod points for you right now. That was possibly one of the funniest things I have read on /.

Personally, I can't see this working very well.

This guy has posted the same comment twice, and been moderated up (to +3 at the moment) for both of them. New karma whoring technique?

All you need is the stethescope, seriously.
You know that involves data CDs right. In my day, that was pretty nerdy. And multimedia content. I remember getting excited about encarta.

Sounds interesting, but I don't speak German. Can anyone tell me how/why he does it in a washing machine? It seems kinda random to me.
