Except a subprime loan was one that didn't meet the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac criterion.

Uhuh. So you know that there is more issues then Israel in the world? Given that only a small fraction of the American population are Jewish (Hispanics are a lot bigger fraction and they are generally supporting Obama over McCain even ignoring the traditional Black-Hispanic rivalry), it won't...

Obama. Lets see: McCain has no problems spying on US citizens. Apparently he can cut taxes across the board, have large increases in defence spending for slight decreases in space exploration and arts He doesn't know what is in the constitution Roe v. Wade was a good decision For a...

Re: Rudd to say Sorry on February 12 You responded to a hypothetical with another hypothetical but misread the original hypothetical. There is nothing stopping them suing now. An apology is purely symbolic, it doesn't mean that all of a sudden they can sue, or not sue. If there is something...

Re: Rudd to say Sorry on February 12 No. But there is nothing stopping people affected from seeking compensation now. Having an apology and saying that the law was wrong does not retroactively make the law void. All activities that were legal at the time will still have been legal. Did you...

The UK public universities can now charge top-up fees of up to £3000 a year, as of last year. Which corresponds to about AU$7200 which is between Bands 2 and 3. If you take the maximum we pay more.

Well given my timetable has one permutation where there is only one clash (and only one where I have all labs not clashing), I'm pretty sure that UNSW system wouldn't help me much.

I'm assuming I'll know when I'm happy to die, I'll be a little annoyed if I start dieing when I'm not. But that isn't know, and I don't know when it will be so we'll see.

Umm homosexuality is a desire for the opposite sex? What do you mean by desire? Desire to be the opposite sex? In which case wouldn't you have everybody going for more manly gay people?

Assuming that we are above a critical density. If we aren't then one of two things could occur, a big rip, or continual expansion. At the moment it looks most like continual but ever slowing expansion. Not a big crunch. Also why does gravity exist before the big bang? It didn't exist until a...
