I would recommend it. Do you have a controller?

The summer is over, classes are starting to reconvene with freshers abound, so it's about time we got this chatter thread started up again. Welcome back to our current students and those who will be commencing their studies at USYD for the first time. Just a word of warning: This thread serves...

Steam is also a bit funny with users buying games from multiple countries. I've heard stories of accounts been permabanned because someone bought a game on Steam while on holidays.

Can't fault them for the download speeds on Origin though. Consistently tracks higher than Steam.

As far as I know, we don't have the functionality with vBulletin at the moment, but we can look into this moving forward. I think it's a good idea.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but this is quite a good read. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/

I'm going to PAX this weekend in Melbourne, and I'm keen to see if I can get into the Forza 5 tournament. Will need to brush on my skills beforehand though.

I saw a ~50% improvement in speeds after replacing my modem/router combo. Was running off a D-Link from 2005ish and replaced it with a new Netgear. Upload speeds are still cack though.

Sounds like it was a success then

Provided that your income arrangements aren't complex, and ATO decides to work, the online portal makes it even easier than e-tax. The tax return for the last financial year took me a few minutes.

And just to add to this, this is one of the reasons why finding work should get easier the further you are into your career, but this depends on the type of work you're looking for. I work in energy and public policy and you're exposed to a relatively tight circle of people so once you get to...

We had 45 days of compulsory placements in my degree (not engo though) and our faculty did not find places for us. At most, there was a database of organisations which had taken students in the past but obviously that wasn't a guarantee.

Yeah do Engineering. Students should never be wedded to what their parents want them to do. After all, it is the student who will have to deal with their own career, not the parent.

Schools are bureaucratic organisations and depending on the type of school (public, private, etc.), they will be required to go through official procurement channels if they need complex issues resolved. It isn't so much that they don't want to help you expand your knowledge, but rather they...

They need to know why it crashed to rule out the chance of a severe design/technical fault in some (or all) Boeing 777. That being said, if the flaperon has turned up at Reunion Island, there's minimal chance that they will be able to find the black box. If the plane glided to sea level, then...

You will. When you first get employed, you're expected to bring all your textbooks as a reference. If you don't, they'll dock your pay until you do. Also, you're expected to use your textbooks for your marriage ceremony if you are an atheist.

Depends on length of the degree. The defacto standard for internships is a student's penultimate year. Typically this will be the summer holidays before the start of the student's final year.

Fortunately UTS and USYD are super close to each other (10 minute walk at most). Just want to make sure that the Engo seminars aren't at the same time. If they are, you can get a friend to go to the other one.

Fat chance of that here tbh haha I recommend you go to the Uni Open Days and attend the seminars that the Engineering faculties present. I know that USYD have their Open Day around the end of August, and most universities have their open days on the same day (unfortunately).

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread IIRC usually happens in that Chem building
