Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I've lived here all my life and I didn't realise this had been passed. "A new offence will now be created of sending messages or posting material online that were intended to cause ha

I thought the gold thing helped too? I always wondered why they didn't set some deals up with places like Teespring or Welovefine to explore other revenue options.

In New Zealand recently, there's been a 'debate' on whether or not we should change the flag. They've spent... $26 million on this so far, and yeah the populace is discussing it and such, but the funniest thing I hear mo

This website is awful. Took forever to load, and when it did I couldn't scroll until some weird stuff had loaded. This article just feels like a fluff piece or something. They're all "Sorry. We'll learn from our mistakes

I think his point is quite obvious, which is basically "don't forget there's a life outside of the tech world". I know that I'll sit here doing nothing on the Internet when I'm not constructive yet the hours st

Yeah that was the part that really put his entire explanation into perspective for me! It's... unnerving for some reason.

I wonder... you could advertise something like this as a health product. Let's say you have Celiac and you need to eat gluten free. Using this AutoMicroFarm, you can grow exactly what your customer needs (some lettuce strains may be ha

You don't have to access Steam's servers to play - there's a thing called "offline mode"[1] Steam does not have region locks. If they did, people still wouldn't complain about the original point of DRM etc th

Steam may have DRM but they implement DRM properly . That's the difference. Most companies who implement and force DRM on their games don't do it right, and causes issues for the end user, and makes their gaming experience rather

It's not that expensive. About $500 NZD for a basic test. Yes, expensive if you don't have $500 but there's many ways to go about it: ask for invoice, get legal aid to pay, do it through lawyer (who adds to their bill), hope

What I found weird while reading this article was that they all said the results would be "nominal" and nothing will realistically change regardless of if the DNA tests were actually erroneous. Uhhhh what? If people were sentenced

by veb 11y ago
I know in New Zealand, you've got the right to redo tests with whoever you want (i.e. private labs). So, if the prosecution has said that your DNA was found at the scene or something, you can then get that test done privately (yes it&#

I'm lost. You say in the end they "fixed" it (quotes included) and you yourself tested it and it did actually seem fixed... but it's not according to OP. I do apologise if I've missed something blatantly obvious her

I'd love to buy Candy Japan! But it doesn't make much sense for me, and I don't have the money to pay for it - but I would honestly put in an offer if the contacts/network for supplying the candy and such was well set up

Would be fantastic if someone put the effort in making this guy a really great website, with amazing UI/UX, and a great backend. Just for those people who can never find an idea, but want to do something ;-)

You basically reinforced his point. People know what they're doing wrong, and when they want to change that part of their lifestyle, then they will and any doctor will be more than happy to help them. There's such a thing as a d

Yeah, you're right that salt is in the water already and isn't technically waste. I just called it that because as a 'left over', it feels like it's waste. However... it doesn't mean much that salt is in the wa

The issue is the waste... the salt that's left over. What happens to it? In the Persian Gulf (I think...) they have basically killed everything in the water from the abundance of salt that's been put back into the sea water.[1] Th

Does it need to be a fine print? (why not something that's easy to see?) Here in New Zealand, some of our taxis have cameras. So even before entering the vehicle, it has "Under surveillance" or whatever on the windows, and ad

Someone who comes out as a "natural leader" should be a good thing, no? It means people who shouldn't be leaders, cannot assume the position without turmoil. (in theory anyway)

Wow, what a read. I am surprised that barely any background checks were done by the investors. Considering how hard it is to get any sort of investment funding from Angels in New Zealand, I can't help but feel annoyed at this wasted op
