Nope. Cities rely on rural, the opposite does not apply. What I am saying is that to work out the resource usage of a city you need to factor in the rural area that supplies it.
To quote RNZ,"New Zealand's target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 11 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 remains conditional on aspects of the Paris deal that have not yet been nailed down, namely that there are functioning and transparent carbon markets in place."
Add that to our the recent Morgan Foundation report labelling New Zealand a climate change cheat for dealing in dodgy Carbon Credits, the utter failure of our government to rein in our dairy industry and the widespread degradation of the environment here we are not really doing anything except making the rich richer.
What I don't get is that they are still, local bodies included, happily building infrastructure on land that their own people tell them will be be flooded or underwater in fifty years. They don't care, they don't believe, and they don't want to deal with it.
Thursday, April 21....where? Can't we just do it in UTC. It is Thursday, April 21 in New Zealand (18.23% PURE and dropping) already but there is no release. Is the date based on South Africa? U.S.?
This looked like a planned advertisement for Apple.
They have now proven that any company smaller than Apple (the largest company in the world?) that wants to fight them will lose millions of dollars.
This should be an abuse of the law. In that, if I don't like the precedent I am setting I can drop the case while waiting for better circumstances.
There is a weird double standard going on where previously they needed to rewrite every law for the Internet and now they are happy to use 19th century law.
This has been another example of Lawfare and, if it isn't stopped, it will destroy our legal system.
"There is no explicit right to privacy to be found anywhere in the Constitution or amendments." There is no explicit right to breath either. There is, however, a pre-dating right of trespass and that is exactly what privacy was back then. You had land, you didn't want anyone on it then you could throw them off or stop them coming onto it without permission.
The original term was 14 years, are you saying that in a time where the market is insanely bigger, the cost of creation is insanely smaller, and worldwide distribution is almost free you believe you should have a longer license to control your creation? That's insane.
You do point out one of the problems though, that copyright has become a trade-able commodity. If you are a creator, then copyright should always be held by you, for your life, but shouldn't be able to be passed on or sold off in my view.
Another problem is who really creates? You are releasing a trilogy of novels. Without having read them, what have you created? A new language? A new technology? A relationship that hasn't already been written about before? There are roughly 129,000,000 books in existence. What have you created that someone hasn't before?
Futhermore! It is not the governments duty to secure the network of a private company through coercion. Whether military or otherwise. If Sony can't secure their own fucking system then that is Sony's problem.
Anonymous should just email this idea to the Obama admin.
The proportionate response to North Korea hacking Sony Pictures (Assuming it is an American based company) is not to put them on the terrorist sponser list as no-one has been terrorised. The proportionate response is to release the movie.
Prime Minister John Key has said that there would be a full public disclosure before signing, also that he feels the left should also be involved as it is very important to have across the board agreement on these polices, also that he has already signed it, also that it has no affect on snapper quota............
I tell ya, living in New Zealand is a little like living in Night Vale at the moment.
Unfortunately, this would accentuate one of the flaws in the democratic system. More people will move to the cities for the work and will be on mains power whereas the rural areas will be cut from the mains. That's one group with the food and one with the vote...not good.
do not think there is a single law on the books that makes it illegal not to know something. All knowledge is op-out-able, as far as I am aware, no one is likely ever going to force you and everyone else to know something.
"LMAO, you don't know how evolution works, do you? What possible advantage could autism provide, when it renders most afflicted persons unsociable and awkward and therefore highly unlikely to pass on their genes?"
And neither do you. There are mutations, but they are not garanteed towards survival. They are just mutations. There is also no law that states a good mutation (eg; allows survival) in the short term will be a good mutation in the long term. Take intelligence. It may have allowed us to explode in population but it also means that a small group of people can wipe us off the face of the Earth.
If it looks terrible then change it. All I usually do is change everything over to oxygen, but thats just the way I like it......IMO it wasn't really usable until about 4.6 or so but that was a problem the distros/me caused by using a desktop that wasn't ready for what we wanted to use it for. It was my choice to install it. I could have just stuck with KDE 3. If I want to go back I still can in fact.
Try using a media player like SMPlayer for your copying to/tmp woes. That has worked for me. Kaffiene has never appealed. VLC I like, but SMPlayer just seems to be better for me.
Unsure about the kde.org comment. If I want to look at other desktops I go menu/Configure_Desktop/Workspace_Appearance/Desktop_Theme and then click on Get_New_Themes.
As for updating the codebase. Well, if they didn't do that then our desktops would still look like this. Which is fine but I prefer this.
As for usability. I use it every day and I am not a linux guru.
Somewhat true to my current understanding. But, it seems to me that the current situation was brought about by not following the Treaty of Waitangi. For instance which version (language) was signed first? If the Maori version was signed second then we should take the Maori understanding of words, if the English version was signed second then we take the English version of the text (eg; later supersedes former). If only the Maori version was signed then why are the English (who obviously didn't speak Maori properly) bound to it if the tribes aren't bound to the English as well. At the same time this is the sort of legalise bullshit we need to avoid.
Yes, I agree that the whole "I sold my land.......errr, that wasn't enough", stuff sucks. At the same time there are large amounts of land that was taken illegally that the government doesn't want to give back because it is in private ownership and would impact on peoples believed ownership of land. Probably both Maori and British. The whole thing is a screw up. It is a lie. It is insane. All human ownership is. But, it is a screw up that has stopped the population of NZ from being at it's own throat more than it already is.
In my opinion both Maori and...others (sorry, I loathe the word Pakeha) should come under common law. If it was stolen (Auckland for example) the it should be given back to the people it was stolen from and the government should reimburse the people of Auckland for selling them stolen land. If it was sold cheap then hard luck. As for traditional rights, I have no idea without plunging into the racism (IMO - depends on your definition of race which is an outdated concept to start with.) we have at the moment.
In the end, look at NZ, and then look at Aussie and if you don't like NZ then move there. Thousands of Mozzies have. At least it rains here.:)
Really? I was thinking more of dressing as a gay hispanic female carrying a baby (fake) showing obvious symptoms of cancer or something, with maybe an I love the USA hat on, or a mickey mouse T-shirt. Now that's defence through political fallout.
Yes, but... only in New Zealand....at the Australian embassy. Along with a pair of velcro gloves, some lipstick, a picture of Kevin Rudd, and a bail of hay. The government released a statement saying they would no longer be spying on the embassy.
This was on the radio the other day. Basically the guy sailed a yacht race from Melbourne to Osaka ten years ago and lived on fish and rice the whole way. Now he does it and he's calling it a dead ocean.

It's a feel good scam.

Cocaine. It's a hell of a drug!
The person who had the idea? You can have hundreds working on a project but ideas aren't thought of by hundreds of people, they are thought of by one.

It has been removed from the environment.

In the same way you have separation of powers, you need separation of information............least it be used against you.

Not knowing the law is no excuse for breaking it.
LlL!

No. I think they would concerntrate on the sheep.

I have thought of building one of those. Can you link the plans?
