Re: New Left wing party to be launch before next election - 17 days ago

admin, It's a distinction made superfluous by the fact that the relevant people are named. Whereas, at times, it's arguable as to whether or not some parties are left or right and, in the minds of some people, you are who you climb into bed with. Does this mean that Winnie and NZ First are now centre having been both left and right?

Re: New Left wing party to be launch before next election - 18 days ago

Just what will be the measure of 'left wing' be? It seems to me that there is absolutely no need for a reference to 'left wing' at all, leaving the short description to read "Short: New party to be registered before next General Election." as the long description takes care of the rest.

Re: Mine.Survivors - 4 weeks ago

Just imagine, being a parent, partner, son, daughter, close friend or for anybody being close to one of men trapped in the mine and then finding out that others were punting on that miners survival. Personally, if I were in such a position I would be seeking the closing down of iPredict. Lets not go there folks.

This link may help settle the issue of time. After reading it I now firmly believe that 11.59pm is preferable.

Re: Pansy Wong to remain MP for Botany through 2010? - 6 weeks ago

It is clear that the Judging Criteria needs correcting however, the error shouldn't invalidate the contract as the title and Long Description are abundantly clear. What is critically important is that the correcting is done urgently and, for that matter, it should have been done already. If anyone entered this contract under the misapprehension that it paid $1 if Wong departs then they should

Re: minimum bids - 6 weeks ago

I can't believe there is any serious suggestion we should get rid of decimal point! Lets face it, get rid of a decimal point and we automatically loose our centipenny. For goodness sake, we've only just got it. The consequences of loosing our centipenny are, in my most humble opinion, shocking beyond the point of belief and possibly, even of human tolerance. A disaster of epic proportion

Re: Reset Average Cost... - 7 weeks ago

This is an issue that is, obviously, causing quite a bit of vexation for a number of members. A single, user definable column would remedy this very well. As I have no experience in the development such things, I have no idea of how easy or hard these issues are and have no idea of the cost as well. My personal preference is for a single, toggle enabled column, so the user can switch from aver

Yes bkd, it's a great free-wheeling environment and because I believe that the type of bidder maxb is referring to, stifles such an environment, I supporting his suggestion.
