Swine flu fever is gripping the world!
Gripping may be the most accurate word here.
In fact it appears that outside of Mexico the new "flu" causes just mild inconvenience and people recover from it easily with zero deaths reported - even among the very young, old etc. who succumb to most "flu" type viruses.
Could this virus be the first overtly racist virus ever detected?

new PC
Why, when buying a new PC or upgrading damned near everything in the existing one is a simple, daylong process, not even that expensive anymore does it take weeks to find stuff you already had for the new set-up and why can't I bloody find everything I had?

A new low
Stuff.co.nz on Easter Saturday, 11 April, 2009, has managed something no one thought possible.
It has created a new low in reporting.
A headline on Stuff.co.nz reads "Girl loses limb to out-of-control street racers".
The body of the story, once you get past the pure sensationalist bullshit however states that the girl who was hurt was among a group sitting on the road, drinking just over the brow of a hill and the young male driver, driving a typical young male's car, came over the top of that rise, saw the girl too late, swerved to avoid her, also too late, and ran her over.
The police called to the scene obviously noted the true nature of the incident and let the young man go without charge.
Whether he is charged later makes no difference.
While there is a problem with boy racers the problem is small, most so-called "boy racers" being simply young men and women doing exactly what young men and women have been prone to do since clubs as marital tools went out of fashion, attracting like minded people of the opposite sex for the purpose of mating.
This incident had nothing to do with boys racing and by sensationalising the story with such an ignorant headline just proves how pathetic NZ's media is.
Shame in Stuff.co.nz!
