What a rubbish headline. And to think the owner is quoted in the same article saying ""They weren't in for a free-for-all". Bad reporting.
And I have no idea how this came to be a religious debate. New Zealand is pretty much secular and religion has almost no bearing on the lives of the majority and is pretty much absent from politics. Especially in Hamilton. Go there on a Friday when there is a holiday and petty theft will seem tame!
To add to this, The Steiner system places a lot of value in surroundings and buildings and a lot of time and effort (or is it money?) goes into making the "learning environment" inspiring and stimulating.... Etc etc. Basically the ones I've been to look fantastic.
"forty years of complete absence of nuclear accidents"? The same Wikipedia has a fairly large section on accidents at nuclear power plants, stating "worldwide there have been 99 accidents at nuclear power plants from 1952 to 2009 (defined as incidents that either resulted in the loss of human life or more than US$50,000 of property damage, the amount the US federal government uses to define major energy accidents that must be reported), totaling US$20.5 billion in property damages.[4] Fifty-seven accidents have occurred since the Chernobyl disaster, and almost two-thirds (56 out of 99) of all nuclear-related accidents have occurred in the USA." On a brighter note however, "There have been comparatively few fatalities associated with nuclear power plant accidents"
I know it's easy to suggest as a New Zealander (lots of mountains, lots of rain, and not that many people), but that hydro you mention is ace, wish all our power came from it.
2 incidents in 15 years: 175,000+ killed. Plus they emit methane in huge quantities (from the decay of plant materiel in the reservoir)
I would bet that for New Zealand the best form of energy would be geothermal even though the long-term effect studies around cooling the earth's crust are lacking.
If Google decides, next week, they will stop releasing any of their own source code (or whatever they borrowed from more-liberal-than-GPL licenses) you can always just fork whatever they already released. You the user - even if you also wrote the original code they based their product on - have no right to demand the release of what they built. They release if they want to.
Free Software is about that: it's about your freedom.
"Both RIM and Microsoft "get" the Enterprise. This matchup makes sense for both of them"
Based on what? I'd argue that they "got" enterprise, but are in the process of losing it. Are a very cruse measure, what about share price over time? Or units shipped? or...?
Have you a source for that? I could well believe that the cancer risk is low and obviously is is uncommon for a dose of radiation to be large, but 'comparatively large' doses of radiation are given regularly in hospital catheter labs, CT/PET scanners. And while generally these would be in the 10-20-30 mSv range, for many patients scans are repeated regularly for long time periods, rapidly reaching the 150-500mSv range discussed in the below article. Of course this is a fractionated dose and it would be much more dangerous as a single hit. I cannot find any reference to radiation dose verses cancer risk. Somewhat supporting you is this article which discusses over estimation of dose risk. Interesting discussion too: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc073513
A 'spokesman' has just announced in the last few hours that there are high cesium levels in leaking water that is measuring 1Sv per hour. That going to be somewhere in the depths of the plant, but living about as far away from this ad is possible is a comfort to me.

Edit: a slighty better version of story. Wow they open early. http://www.3news.co.nz/Computer-glitch-opens-Hamilton-Pak-n-...
