  1. Re:iTunes in NZ on iTunes Australia to Launch Next Week · · Score: 1

    I don't care about the sports... I just want our internet connection speeds to catch up to yours. That is one thing you definitely do better =)

  2. Re:iTunes in NZ on iTunes Australia to Launch Next Week · · Score: 1

    You can load mp3s onto an iPod from audio CDs... that's the primary method people put music on their iPods over here. I suppose downloading from BitTorrent is probably a big source of the music too =)

  3. iTunes in NZ on iTunes Australia to Launch Next Week · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It will be nice when they finally open iTunes to New Zealand. People here have only owned iPods for what? 1½ years?

  4. Re:Suddenly I like. on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    Funny that. Nobody I've ever meet in real life uses AIM. AIM appears to be popular in the US and nowhere else - I might be wrong though. Yahoo is big in the Philippines I hear, and MSN is popular in New Zealand and Australia.

    Huh? People still use Netscape?

    In New Zealand, approximately 50% of the price of fuel is tax.

  7. Re:One step forward... on IBM Donates Code to Firefox · · Score: 1

    Ah I see... well I've only ever run Firefox on Linux and the evil Windows XP platform.

    Look for an extension called TabBrowser Preferences. Every new link that opens on my machine opens as a new Tab in the one browser window I have open.

  9. Re:Let's listen all the FUD... on MS05-039 Worm in the Wild · · Score: 1

    ...despite the fact that SP2 doesn't work on all machines. My machine breaks whenever I install SP2, so I've stuck with SP1. All the other machines I own run fine with SP2, so my guess is hardware incompatibilities...

    Not to mention a spouse.

  11. Re:Dick Smith in NZ on Using Computer Stores to Spread Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Since when? I've never been given an OSS cd, and I've bought DVD drives, graphics cards etc. Also, I haven't seen Linux distros for sale. Is this only at specific branches?

    Wow, he has to install Firefox twice (3,6)? ;)

  13. Re:Springer show. on Lawsuit Says GPL is a Price-Fixing Scheme · · Score: 1

    Maybe the "ie" is a subliminal message to tell us he hasn't embraced Firefox?

    WinZip is your friend.

    I thought the whole "destroy all sentient life in the galaxy" would raise eyebrows in Al Qaeda.
