> NZ uses a Direct Current electrical grid rather than AC, so don't go around plugging in a Canadian hairblower;

What?! I didn't think anyone used DC for main power supply! I thought DC was just used for small voltage electronics and stuff. AC is much more power/distribution efficient, from what I can remember. If this is true, does anyone know why? And what other countries uses DC?
