    How do you start off a discussion topic for a musicology aural?

    Slightly O/T, but if you can play an instrument, I recommend learning short phrases from songs that relate to each other that connect common techniques from different eras and play them in discussion as part of the viva. Examples help a lot.

    Earrings on guys?

    Haha, all the guys saying no and pointing to it being effeminate... He asked for girls' opinions, did he not? Plus, I know plenty of girls out there that love piercings on their partner, so have at it I guess.

    Abbot ignoring energy regulator to scare communities, ( is he just getting dumber ?)

    Re: Abbot ignoring energy regulator to scare communities, ( is he just getting dumber No it's not. Retailers using it as an excuse to raise the rates and not be blamed, is.

    Abbot ignoring energy regulator to scare communities, ( is he just getting dumber ?)

    Re: Abbot ignoring energy regulator to scare communities, ( is he just getting dumber Question mark placed because I myself am not entirely confident with my knowledge of the Carbon tax (I never dealt with the specifics at work - elaboration/explanation welcomed), but a (kind of vague) extract...

    Abbot ignoring energy regulator to scare communities, ( is he just getting dumber ?)

    Re: Abbot ignoring energy regulator to scare communities, ( is he just getting dumber The infrastructure has been poorly maintained, especially around some of the higher using suburbs around Sydney. Old, poorly maintained infrastructure = higher operation costs (though, this is mainly the fault...

    The game u r excited for the most

    And even then, from its resting place, the disc stares you in the face whispering, "Play me! Play me!" Not too much of an RTS fan, though.

    The game u r excited for the most

    Kind of agree about Halo, I enjoy it mainly for the storyline. 4 should (hopefully) have new game-changing content (think of the difference between Halo and Halo: Reach - the game evolves. CoD just seems to get more guns/different levels and that's it). Tekken, yeah, sameish - it's Tag though...

    The game u r excited for the most

    Don't know how people can keep buying CoD incarnates, they're all practically the same. Borderlands 2, ArmA 3, Resident Evil 6, Tekken Tag 2, Halo 4, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Carmageddon: Reincarnation... Yeah, a few.

    Talking to girls outside your subjects

    One day, just walk up and be like, "Hey :)." Then converse. Easy. (Caution: Confidence is a prerequisite to pulling this off).

    A revelation...

    One question, if society said it was wrong for you to be attracted to girls and tried to change your 'chosen' sexuality to homosexuality by withholding rights given to pretty much everyone else, you'd be pissed off. Right? I acknowledge the above is vague, possibly exemplified, but the point is...

    Photographic memory?

    Photographic? Doubtful. You'd most likely just have a good memory. Also, I don't think you can have a 'degree of photographic memory'. You either have a photographic memory or you don't. There's no grey area in this. Everyone can precisely recall certain images from memory. It doesn't mean you...

    So my piece of shit laptop died.

    I run my computers a lot harder than this. I'm guessing this is a tower machine as well? I was talking about laptops (yes, I know this seems irrelevant, but laptops are treated much more harshly with typically worse specs). Plus, a desktop doesn't suffer from constrictive keyboards or poor...

    So my piece of shit laptop died.

    OS-X, by the nature of the OS and the way it's been designed means that it is very stable and does away with most maintenance related issues like fragmentation. It is a very low maintenance operating system - and ~98% less viruses lends to this (note: statistic pulled out of my ass). I'm on a...

    So my piece of shit laptop died.

    A laptop at around the same size and weight rarely incorporates the same or similar tech/features, or is rarely as comfortable to use. Someone who is oblivious to computer maintenance and the like benefits from OS-X etc. This is where the premium comes into it. Don't think as someone who is...

    So my piece of shit laptop died.

    ... This thread... Low end MacBook Pro or the Air would probably suit you the best. I'm against the smaller netbooks, and even a lot of the 13" models as they tend to be... Horrid. Slow, clunky and the keyboard + pad are horrible to work on. The Macs are far more functional for you in this...
