I have a computer that hasn't been used in ~2 months, it was being a bit of a cunt in regards to starting up 5-2 months ago but I usually left it on all the time which avoided this (most of the time it started up okay but sometimes it just failed and restarted part way through, eventually...

http://dudeyoureafag.blogspot.com/2010/11/heterosexual-matrix.html Came across the term 'heterosexual matrix' and wondered what others think about this. Do you reckon this ~gender is a social construct~ sentiment is a crock of shit or is it a reasonable statement?

So, turns out Palestine has been accepted into UNESCO quite unanimously (107-14). Not long after this the US pulled their funding from the organization (about $80 million annually, aka 20% of UNESCO's entire funding) lol. As a result of Palestine's acceptance into UNESCO, they can enter WIPO...

In Defense of Flogging is set to be published in June, this article written by the books author Peter Moskos talks about the book somewhat briefly. The primary focus of the book is the broken prison system, but it also deals with flogging to some degree as well. Author info Full...

I have been doing an assessment task for the past 2 weeks using Open Office. I have saved it and opened it a number of times without error, however when I try to open it now (that I have finished >>), it comes up as 6-7 blank pages. Despite this the word count is still 917 or whatever...

I am registering for classes and in EDUC1008 it says "Tutorial Secondary Only", does that mean only if the other tutes are full (which they are)? I assume so however would like to know for sure if anyone does.

Just wondering how early you can swap to another course after you have accepted. I didn't make a massive error or anything, I just realised that perhaps a slightly different course may be more advantageous. I would be perfectly happy to stick this one out for a year before changing if that is...

A friend reckons everyones atar is printed in the paper for the state, this sounds stupid to me cos that is 80k people and would infringe some freedom of information poo somewhere. Anyone know if this is true?

Personally I think it is disgusting that it is limited to Asian languages. If they really MUST do it, it should allow for a wider range of languages, but really this is Australia not Asia we speak English. A much stronger focus on English is needed in a childs early years to improve our literacy...

Does anyone think an updated LoD (PS1) should be brought out. It's my fav game ever, best music, scenes, storyline EVER!!!!!!!!! I would pawn everything to pay however much it cost if it was re-released especially as my disc 4 failed when I was about to take on Zeig so I never got to kill...

I was just wondering if anyone else has a ton of asswipes at their school who don't care. People who don't do assignments/assessments on time, are clearly not learning, ask dumb questions making you contemplate suicide just knowing people are actully that stupid and should reconsider their...

I completed our ancient history task (quite well I believe) and only got 13/20 (B). Our teacher didn't mark it and gave us 'general feedback' like it was too short and spelling was poor, irrelevant to mine as I am very apt at spelling and checked it a fair bit. There was only one small thing...

I was pwned in the physics test today. Turns out that Snells law was the only part I really think I got right. Thanks to those who replied at my last minute request. However it wasn't all my fault. I was doing the theory side when the teacher realises that there were mistakes and data on...
