The wife and kids have had theirs at the quack - don't think we've had them here yet - but I've been away a fair bit in the last few months. Thanks for reminding me to look it up!

Months ago, but I work in the medical sector so might not be a valid comparison.

Hmmm... no sign of flu vax at work yet. May be yet to come, but what's the bet they're trying to save a few bucks.

Did you go to the aeroplane bit? The Lancaster was cool, I thought.

Pepsi · 10th May 2010, 23:40

Nah, the kids were over it all by the time we had done the main part so we skipped the tram ride to the aeroplane bit..

Thomas Meatball · 11th May 2010, 00:02

Weak. Did they at least do the tactile maze? I thought that was fun when I was a youngster.

Next weekend you should take them to the museum and make them learn all about war.

I felt sorry for him eh, his knee's a shot and he just can’t take a leg kick ... couple of kicks to the leg and he's done, someone needs to show him how to check.

Now Machida got smashed!

Koshcheck was lucky he got punched after the bell to, takes the attention away from that soccer style dive he took from that knee

I can see the legal age being raised again, course it doesn't bother me that much cos I'm old but still...

Lightspeed · 11th May 2010, 22:37

I'd expect to see research that shows that raising the age limit would improve those statistics if they did change the law. Because I could get alcohol and weed from age 15 without any problems, and I'm pretty sure that scenario was not unique to me.

xor · 11th May 2010, 23:14

My wife doesn't like my South AK gangsta hits cd. Sheeeeeet who doesn't like Ice Cube?

JP · 11th May 2010, 23:46

The problem seems to be like, the only solution that ever seems to be applied are arbitrary law changes.

I mean there's totally a binge drinking culture in NZ, and yes some kids will tragically drink themselves to death. But how does raising the drinking age change any of that? People aren't drinking themselves to death in bars, and there will be ways for youngsters to get alcohol otherwise. I mean the kid in the story took a bottle of vodka, he didn't buy it. And even then we shouldn't be reacting to single events that make the news.

If you don't want kids binge drinking you have to change the culture, but good luck with that.

What about letting 16 year olds buy 4% beer? It's pretty tough to not puke before you drink yourself to death on beer i'd figure. Better beer than vodka. But i'm not a government think tank, surely they can come up with some actual solutions.

Lightspeed · 12th May 2010, 00:06

The kid was from what seemed to be a wealthy white family from what I could tell. It was like a "if it could happen to rich whitey, it could happen to anyone!" bit. I liked how on Campbell Live they repeated the message "what every parent and teenager must see!", which seems like they're talking about the bit on the teen drinking, but what they really meant was the upcoming advertising.

Part of the issue is the assumption that teens drink it up to party and be cool. I'm pretty sure however a lot of kids are using it in the same way as adults do - to dull the pain of life. Get enough people doing that and you start a culture where more functional teens are drinking to be cool.

DuFFeR · 12th May 2010, 06:19

The kid that died was 17 though, not even legal drinking age... I don't see what raising the age limit is going to do. It's about education, like JP said changing the culture.

Just man up and be prepared to suffer a few casualties if you're prepared to sell booze in stores on the streets.

Jesus fucking Christ already. It's only a muppet or two a year. If Kermit karks it, sure people are a bit down but the only one who masturbates to wash away the pain is Miss Piggy.

Warrick · 12th May 2010, 14:54

the tech forum should have a random question(s)/thoughts thread imo ;p

anyways~

excuse my ignorance, but what's the deal with audio on dual display? i was given a 32" inch sony bravia lcd tv yesterday and i have no real use for it so i've got it hooked up to my pc via HDMI(card has two inputs) on a 6m cable so it's WAY across the other side of the room and atm the audio is coming from my comps speakers. do i need a soundcard with dual inputs or something? i'm confused :/

fanx.

edit: i want the sound coming out of the tv, if that isn't obvious!

p01s0n · 12th May 2010, 15:01

Hi Warrick,

Thanks for your letter. I see you are in quite the predicament there! Don't worry, you're not alone and we have all been there before.

Fortunately there is a quick fix! You just need to take a trip to your local dick smith and make the following purchase:

http://www.dse.co.nz/dse.shop/en/product/C1240

Additionally, if you need to span a distance of more than 2m, you will need to buy a product like this:

http://www.dse.co.nz/dse.shop/en/product/C1165

With this you will be able to enjoy your downloaded linux isos in full high definition, with audio!

Many thanks

i think i knew all along, was just curious about the dual-input sound card fingy-majig.

p.s patronise me like that IRL and i'll crush you.
