Radio NZ will be simulcasting David Lange's memorial service

Radio New Zealand

Given that they're a radio network, I wonder if they'll be using video?

The rest of the world makes fun of our "Telco"

Yup that's right, rats took out one of Telecom NZ's fibre paths and then just two days later a spade took out the rest of their North Island network. That's right, our major "Telco" only has two paths for it's core "carrier grade" network. So much for their "Five 9's" propaganda.

ComCom suggests Telecom take it's own pill...

The Commerce Commission is suggesting that Telecom NZ take a quick look
at what it's (subsidiary is) asking Telstra (in Australia) to do, and
then apply it to it's operations in NZ.

Heh heh, all rings and round-a-bouts... Telecom is beating up on
Telstra (in Aussi( for doing exactly what Telecom is doing in NZ...

These guys are more one-eyed than a Canterbury fan!

64bit .Net? v2.0 only - nearly...

Came across this interesting blog entry.
By default v1.0 and v1.1 apps will only run in the 32bit mode on 64bit Windows.
And even if you force 64bit mode, using a 64bit loader/wrapper, it will only stay 64bit if there are no 32bit dependancies.
Kinda logical, but it would have been nice if they'd used some kind of 64-32bit glue, so 64bit apps could have 32bit dependancies.
Isn't that how Win9x worked with it's 16bit parts?

When is a crack not a crack?

"When it presents no real threat."
Yeah, right! Some Indian programmer breaks Microsoft's anti-piracy scheme and that's no threat?
