I've seen a third type of news lately. I've taken to calling it meta-news. Its news about news. Announcements that there will be an announcement in a few days, and then no coverage of the actual announcement. News that scientists have started work on some research that they hope will result in X, then no further news as to whether anything resulted. Its the rush to beat the other news organisation to the presses gone mad. Its the type of thing that Journalists should find interesting so that they can bring us actual news, but something seems to have gone wrong and the journos now think that we (the non-journalists) are also deeply interested in _when_ upcoming news will happen, and not actually _what_ that news is. Its absolutely pointless, its increasing, and it annoys the **** (insert four letter expletive of your choice here) out of me.

heh
The really funny part will be when the AFP spokesman who referred it to the Fedral Police, gets a polite reply "Tough titties mate, its legal and unless Peter Beattie is a tradmark world-wide, you got nuthin"
I see news in two categories
1. Sometimes its NEWS and informative (60mins at times or lateline)
2. Sometimes its just shouting, no substance just taking the high moral ground (See A Current Affair for details or worse Today Tonight)

well to be fair it said registering and redirecting (It
used the word hacking a lot).
And I also wonder how much difference it would have made to
popularity *before* they published the article (conspiracy theory? ;)
Anyway, sorry to cause a stir but I thought (what I
consider to be) the genuine 'hacking' community (those expert and trying to get more from ColdFusion, for example) might be interested in what it takes to be called a hacker in this day and age ;)
Have a great day hacking people!

James,
I read that article, but it did not say registering a
domain name was
hacking. What it said was that redirecting people from his
site to the
National parties. Although not technically hacking, just
makes the National
website more popular than it would have been.
