    Lets Make a Complaint about the poor scaling of SDD..

    It's OK Sunny, I agree with you. But remember you lost every SDD student on these boards bar 2 when you mentioned Big O. Which exactly demonstrates your point of SDD NOT teaching _good_ program or algorithm design. Let the monkeys to their typewriters return...

    Why Medicine?

    Hrmm they sent us that email the day we found out we passed first year med. They can sponsor the last 4 years of a med degree, providing you give the number of years + 1 service to the Defence Force chosen... (This is with their Undergraduate Scheme btw) But not everyone wants to work for the...

    The Official Pink Floyd Thread

    Does anyone have the album that leaked on the web about a year ago and disappeared shortly after, called: The Complete Zabriskie Point Sessions? Best song: Echoes. But not the shitty cut down version off the Echoes compilation, only the original off Meddle, all 23:32 of it. Best album...

    my monitor

    I wasnt joking... If its likely to be replaced anyway, then you may get extra life by just hitting it nice and hard... I've seen it work. And if you are thinking of replacing... I like this one (for CRT): Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 93SB 19" Flatscreen - at around $450/500 And you can't go...

    Lets Make a Complaint about the poor scaling of SDD..

    Yeah righto. I just didnt like your example that assumed that an ace programmer would also fail the theory. I cant say that I ever did any serious hard work for SDD, and managed to pull out ok...

    Who likes going to uni on Fri?

    Not deserted in medland. But when you walk back to college at lunchtime: pretty deserted... But if you could chose to do you subjects so you had friday off, why wouldnt you?

    ipod - worth it?

    I only have music I like - if i didn't like it, I wouldn't have it. My collection is 40GB already.

    ipod - worth it?

    Winamp plays and rips AAC as standard since v5.04.

    ipod - worth it?

    If you had an iPod, the only format you would rip in would be AAC.

    ipod - worth it?

    Dunno. Just saw the ad in Icon saturday. Try looking at apple.com.au or call them or something.

    ipod - worth it?

    The best way to get a 3G iPod (if you really want one - and i know people who dont like clickwheel, so they like the 3G) is to go to some of the places that sell them (like, i think it was toyworld) and see if they still have them... You can get the 60GB one, and have been able to for a...

    Lets Make a Complaint about the poor scaling of SDD..

    Skywalker: scaling I think... I dunno about all this board jargon... I think for the purposes of calculating a UAI i mean, that a 95 wouldnt be counted as 95... is that what i mean? Meh whatever, its just SDD...

    Lets Make a Complaint about the poor scaling of SDD..

    My mark would have scaled in the downwards direction last year (i suspect)... It was still counted though... What do you think Skywalker? I dont think that our marks could have scaled up at all for UAI calcs though... But back to the topic: complaining is useless. Try encouraging the bludgers...

    Broadband ping

    Not technically. ADSL2 is capable of much greater speeds using exactly the same copper wiring. Like, 26Mb/second. At the moment however legally they are limited to running their service at 8Mb/second. Won't be too much longer. You can get it through TSN in australia now provided there...

    No problems with the following code: With WindowsMediaPlayer1 .Enabled = True .URL = "whatever" End With Which control are you using exactly?

    UNSW Colleges...

    It's 4.5 times more painful than that. To get around that problem: Value the 175mb you get free at the start of every session... There's lots of stuff that you think you want on servers (like the CSE server) internally... CSE also has a mirror for windowsupdate server... Use unimail, not web...

    UNSW Colleges...

    There's a couple of us on the board that live in New College, and if they feel the same was as me (and the rest of the new residents) they'd have no hesitation in saying that it is without doubt the best of the colleges... There's a couple of threads already on the board about the colleges...
