  1. Re:Sort of one sided isn't it? on New Zealand Three-Strikes Law To Be Tested · · Score: 2

    Yes you can, and speaking as a New Zealander, PLEASE DO SO. The more things like this happen, the more ridiculous it looks.

  2. Re:Not infringement on FBI Used FedEx To Sneak Dotcom's Hard Drives Out of NZ · · Score: 1

    Why are you linking to a US law? They were in New Zealand, a sovereign nation in the south pacific, which doesn't come under US Jurisdiction. We don't have a fair use clause here

  3. Re:Stupid Law on NZ Illegal Downloading Crackdown Law In Effect · · Score: 1

    Telecom isn't state owned :)

  4. Re:They measure cost of bad press by lost sales on Ubisoft Considers Always-Connected DRM "A Success" · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, H.A.W.X. 2 hasn't been cracked yet. Whether this is to do with the quality of the DRM or the quality of the game I am unable to say

  5. Re:I can see the legislation now... on Playstation Phone "Zeus" Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yo dawg...

  6. Re:Barbarella had it right on Skin-Tight Bodysuits Could Protect Astronauts From Bone Loss · · Score: 1

    I was born in 1986 and still immediately thought of Seven of Nine you insensitive clod!

  7. Hardly a big deal on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've done just under 2tb in a month before, I've heard of other people on the same internet plan as me (Big Time on New Zealand's Telecom, unlmited ADSL2+) before they took it away because of people like me. Most I heard of was just shy of 3TB, this was on a horribly shaped connection too. Why is this news?

  8. Re:Playstation, ask the Xbox how this one turned o on Sony To Detail "Premium PSN" Plans At E3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    When has Xbox Live ever been free? I'm sure I've been paying for it since 2003

  9. Re:Well someone has to. on Is Google Planning To Fibre Britain? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The main problem in NZ isn't between the home and the backbone, it's the international link and the pathetic download quotas our ISP's give us. Every single person in NZ could have fibre, and the net could actually slow down as everyone now tries to access overseas sites, saturating the southern cross cable

  10. Re:No. on Plug vs. Plug — Which Nation's Socket Is Best? · · Score: 1

    Ah, New Zealand. Australia's Canada. Disclaimer: I am a New Zealander :D

  11. Re:1600 x 1200 gaming in 1999? on Console Makers Scaling Back Their Push For HD · · Score: 1

    I used to play TOCA 2 and Half-Life in 1600x1200 in 1999. First on my TNT2 then GeForce256

    http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-meter-foot-cable-1080P/dp/B0002L5R78 Amazon has a perfectly good HDMI cable for 4c

  13. Re:FreeDOS on Getting a Classic PC Working After 25 Years? · · Score: 1

    You had sticks and stones? In MY day, I had to create the universe from nothing! I did it in six days, rested on the seventh, and we LIKED it like that.

  14. Re:Rain isn't causing those accidents on New Zealand Creates Safety Billboard That Bleeds When It Rains · · Score: 1

    I AM a New Zealand driver you insensitive clod! But I do agree with you. I've grown up here, and indicators are optional, people follow about 4 nanometres from your bumper, etc. The roads are truely terrible. The camber is all wrong for most corners, and covered in potholes. At least in the South Island.

  15. Really? on Licensing Issues Shut Down Pandora Outside US · · Score: 1

    I haven't tried in a while, but I used to use Pandora a lot till it randomly stopped working, with that exact same error message in 2006. I live in New Zealand if anyone cares...

  16. Re:There's a saying.... on Researchers Demo BIOS Attack That Survives Disk Wipes · · Score: 1

    Tits tyres and transistors?

  17. Re:Not That Tough on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    I hear you. I have the gameboy pocket (You know, the one with the better size and screen, took 2 aaa's instead of 4 aa's). Got it late 1997 I think, I was 11. I'm still using it daily, runs fine, no problems whatsoever. Never had a game corrupt. It's been overseas, shoved in a backpack every day for well over 10 years. Only problem is I lost the battery cover but that's my own dumb fault >_

  18. Re:Why Blu-Ray? on HD Recorder Can Use Standard DVDs · · Score: 1

    I've got a Philips LX3900SA divx player, it plays xvix perfectly. Reads the subtitle files too

  19. Re:they should get rid of all the seagates on Seagate to Drop IDE Drives by Year End · · Score: 0

    You DO realise Maxtor is owned by Seagate, right?

    What? You're posting on slashdot, how do you know what pussy is like?

    First you'd better stop waving it around like a feather duster!

    It's a Tuatara, not a Tutuara...

  23. Re:Original Sony Street-style phones? on Headphones in Corporate Culture? · · Score: 1

    I have a pair of these, after a few hours they really start to hurt your ears, so I don't really think they're suitable for a corporate environment where they're likely to be work for ~8 hours a day
