still was "slow".... I mean, with the news, my mum has often watched with me, and has commented how they are like 1 min behind what's actually been said etc...

coz they type one sentence, and then press "enter" or watever, for it to appear on our screen, whereas in Aussie, each word appears as it has been typed up... not each sentence or whenever "enter" is pressed...

156405 2003-06-30 09:52:00 i just switched over to csi considering what i just found in the FAQs on the website

Make sure you have registered and downloaded the test application well in advance of the test. That means you'll be ready to go on the night of Monday, 30 June. Then all you have to do is open the test application and log in before the test starts on TV ONE at 7.30pm. You'll be able to log in up to an hour before the test begins. You won't be able to log in once the test has started. If you miss out, you can always do the test on a scorecard or just use a piece of paper.


the main thing i showing is..u cant log on once its started...so guess i missed out...

BUT...

IF I MISS THE TEST ON JUNE 30 WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO DO IT LATER?

Yes, you'll be able to do the test the next day and for at least one month after that.


so i spose i can come back 2morrow and do it myself


stu..hope ur going well if ur doing it

156406 2003-06-30 10:25:00 Well they did do planning, I saw an email that went out notifying the ISPs not to cache the XML file that would be used by the program.

Also it was possible to get the questions before they were on TV B-) :D

156407 2003-06-30 10:26:00 There are many other places that a IQ test can be done. Try googling for IQ test or MENSA. -=JM=- (16)

156409 2003-06-30 10:34:00 Well mine crapped out after the first section - so I'll probably only have an iq of 20.

Stupid thing wouldn't even go again after reinstalling

As I understand this was something done by TVNZ. Just as any other program on their channels. Or how IDG choose to have PressF1.

I suppose we could all stop spending our money and give them to teachers/roads.
