    Nanotechnology/Materials Science/Chemistry

    Haha good to hear! Well the nanotech degree at UoW has a research subject each year starting first year, so in that specific case, research seems a bit more intertwined with the undergraduate degree. I'll have to have a think about it all. I want to finish my comp sci degree as well, but I...

    Yeah. Eh, ah well I don't give a shit now. I'm starting a new degree and it'll be like a gap year that lasted 3 years where I actually learnt stuff! See you at UoW!

    China banned Ugly girl and forced cute girl to Lip Synch

    Somebody remind me again why they gave the 2008 Olympics to China? Yeah, for some reason China avoids significantly more stable and secure free software like Linux and Firefox. It would appear to be about 'prestige'; Microsoft seems more glamourous to them. Which is funny because they...

    Chemical?

    Civil engineers are typically public servants and they get paid a very decent sum. On top of that, they get a bunch of perks like a car and accommodation, I think. Because they're public servants, they're pretty much always guaranteed a job, and as well as good financial security. But compared...

    Nanotechnology/Materials Science/Chemistry

    Well that shakes things up a bit since UoW doesn't have a chemical engineering degree. It does sound interesting. Still, I was hoping by now the notion that nanotech is for researchers would have changed. If that's still true for nanotech, what about materials science engineering? Where do...

    Does God exist?

    Asian Guys dating White girls...

    Pretty brave of you to admit that champ, but I hear the first step is always the hardest, and now you can be proactive about your situation. The majority of prostitutes will probably still accept you. Just remember: it's not your fault you were born Asian.
