Nah.. you get broadband, you get all your surfing done faster, therefore you're off the computer and ready to study faster.. theoretically. Okay, you're right. :( If you want unlimited downloads as in 'the highest possible speed' - go for cable, if you can get it, since it's quite...

Re the computerfairs, try http://www.computerfairs.com.au/ (i usually go to the one at unsw) http://www.computermarkets.com/index.shtml

What operating system are you using? Windows XP home/professional, Windows 2003? Worse? (just kidding) Is your battery old ? Was it just replaced? maybe get a new one from the manf.

Okay, this is mine. I started in 2003, Comp Sci Co-op. I'm also female. * how many people do your degree - who you spend the most time with There are a lot of compscis. Computer Science takes a lot more students than SENG, Comp Eng or Binf, which is one of the contributing factors to a...

We get a lot of queries about the differences between Computer Science, Software Engineering and Computer Engineering (Nobody seems to care about BINF) I'm going to leave this thread for those of you who have studied or are studying one of the above degrees to give everybody else a little...

Of course they're not the same - in compsci you are given the choice to build up your electives as you wish, whereas in seng and comp eng you can focus more on the detailed work of software (design and project work) and computers (hardware). It depends whether you want to specialise in a...

Your chance of transferring is high given you do well in your first year subjects. Chances are you can probably create a timetable very similar to Comp eng in first year - from memory, all the subjects are the same in first session and there are few differences in 2nd session. In fact, comp...

We weren't the originals, Asquithian :p

Optus cable is faster than my 512 connection - if you live in St Marys, anyway :) My adsl (iinet/ihug) drops out occasionally and requires a modem reset - this usually happens when I'm downloading through bt or something (will have to figure that one out). If you're a hardcore leecher you...

Be more specific with what exactly you want to do with it. If by uni work you mean 'COFA graphic design' then you'll definitely need something with a bit more grunt. If by games you mean 'minesweeper, nethack and sometimes (when I want to push the limits of my new machine) commander keen'...

I have a few points to add.. How you study English is dependent on what kind of person you are (ooh, how Dr Phil). Essentially English isn't a skill on its own - you have to understand it in context. What other subjects are you doing? How do you normally study? What do you like / don't like...

If you use mirc (and probably other clients .. but i don't use features on other ones) you can set up auto-op lists, provided you are an operator on the channel and the channel is not op-protected (ie only people on a bot's op list are allowed to have +o) it's somewhere in the options, just...

Try the buy/sell forum, and be more specific with which subject areas (and texts) you're studying. :)

The rollover can be achieved using a spoiler tag [ spoiler ] and [/ spoiler ]

Maybe they want to hire the 'hacker' (haha.. I laugh at the term) to prevent future site compromises ;) Go on! Turn yourself in!

I wouldn't use any texts which are currently in the syllabus as it's often seen to be frowned upon. However, if you do your own research into Skrzynecki poems you'll find many of them have similar themes *hint hint*

I agree, 10 char limit is just as annoying :p I'm happy to delete spam copy and paste posts if they're reported as such, by the way.. (it counts as spam if it's OT - NCaP is different if it's sourced) Yeah, I have. PM me about it rather than go OT on this thread ;)

I think their problem is trying to put too much on the screen at once .. when I do HCI I can tell you whether it works or not :p

Those phones (from what I've seen) cost more than their non-flip counterparts and if you're going on a plan then chances are you'll end up paying the same price eventually due to the plan itself..

IBM has been in talks to sell off PCs.. I wouldn't really want to buy one in the future seeing as we don't know how well the new vendors will support old machines. See http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,65916,00.html for details.
