Yep, my post was in response to those articles

Same thing happened with myspace.

has that happened in Australia yet, or just in the US? also, do they do drug testing in Australia when you're applying for a corporate position?

Does anyone know the cut off date/time for adding a unit of study?

Ah yes, should've checked here more thoroughly.

Thanks.

And hooray, that's a week later than I anticipated.

i dunno, but unless it's a blood test (edit: hair test), unless u;d been doing it recently i doubt any drugs would show up (unless your a long term pot user)

i know this as my friend got drug tested for a job in a sawmill and it didnt come up positive even tho he'd had a shitload of pot and some e 2.5 weeks earlier

Re: OFFICIAL Semester 2, 2007 Thread

wait, a urine test detects drugs in your system for longer than a blood test does. also, your friend would have gotten lucky. pot stays in your system for approx. 3 months.

i was just generally interested about the drug testing. i dont really do drugs anymore, so don't have anything to worry about (and its unlikely they'd conduct a hair folicle test).

oh, whoops, meant hair test, blood test just leaped to my mind because it seems more...conventional

pot only stays in your system for that long if ur a heavy user, something to do with how it metabolises or some shit, and fat as well

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread!

yeah i do 1014 unfortunately. god that course is going to be slow. first week and all we did was adding vectors
what tutes are you in?

For MATH1014 my tute's on Thursday at 2pm. MATH1013 is on Tuesday 9am. You?

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread!

Yeah I was tempted to do that actually. But I wanted to do the maths now while it was still sorta fresh in my mind. At least I get it out of the way and I won't have it hanging over my head. But YOU should have kept maths. I checked your original timetable. We would have been in the same tutes I think.

Ooh, I got me a stalker. Are the math courses easy thus far? Easier than life science calculus? I heard matrices were meant to be hard (at unsw).

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread!

matrices are a joke.

yeah, i agree. the first one was good but reloaded and revolutions were shithouse.

9am tute? you crazy bastard. i'm monday 12 for 1013, and wednesday 3 for 1014.
we should all meet up during lectures, i need someone to keep me awake for most of them.

MATH1014 is easy so far, but MATH1013 is proving to be quite the challenge cos I've pretty much forgotten the HSC Mathematics course. I was like, product rule? differentiation? what?! But I get what the lecturer is saying. I don't know what a matrice is though. I didn't do life sciences calculus so I wouldn't know.

Oh and btw, I wasn't stalking. I looked at ur timetable as I'm sure you did everyone else that posted theirs up. I noticed it ages ago, I just never mentioned it.

Yeah I know. Cos for MATH1014 I go to the 8am lectures. Luckily I get to go to the 11am ones for MATH1013. I'm always awake during lectures, yes even MATH.

How can you have an accuracy rate for compatibility? Like how do they say those two people were more compatible than the other two? There would be no statistically valid way of confirming it. Your skepticism is very warranted.

:uhhuh:

Anyways on a different note... does anyone have a break on Monday from 9-11? I'm lonely then.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread!

I think with the compatibility thing, if they do the equation on a couple and they're deemed incompatible, the couple don't stay together, and vice versa

I think Clio said that it was whether a husband and wife would be together in six years time, not just a plain old compatibility thing.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread!

in that case, i would guess that some of the survey questions include things like 'are you happy with your relationship'. maths can't determine whether or not a couple will stay together. carefully selected questions can. even if questions are along the lines of 'when X happens, you want your partner to do Y' have nothing to do with maths (apart from how they are converted to statistical analysis)

i have no idea. born2beplacebo or something like that had that avatar. i edited it and replaced the first word with tranny.

I have a break from 10am onwards on Mondays, but im generally a boring person

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread!

I also have a break from 9am-12pm on Monday's, although I'm generally a weird person.

Re: Semester II Chatter Thread!

^^ You both sound kewl. But I think I might just bring HP7 to read. I'm only up to Chapter 4.
