    F.e.a.r

    I just finished the game. Anyone seen the ending ? @#%$##^%$@#$#@$ I agree with a lot of people here that this is one of the scarist games I've seen, the only ones that comes close are the AvP series and Doom 3. The scary parts are almost instantaneous, though you get some warning, it appears...

    Help with essay question

    How to stop CAD from growing? The only possible way without major reprocussions is the Harrodian way - high-tech/high-skill export oreintated manufacturing = high export earnings. Its very unlikely that this will happen if neo-liberal ideology dominates the political arena, unless the CSIRO...

    Balance of Payments

    Net foreign liabilities increase as CAD grows. Simply said, we owe them money, so we sell our own assets to cover the debt. So far 51% has been sold.

    The Howard Years

    Its better to have a CAS rather to have a CAD, investors would even have more confidence if the economy wasn't riddled with such a high CAD, infact, hell, we don't even need them if we end up having a CAS, we can fucken finance our own projects you fucken idiot. Did I say anything about...

    Okay, as for impacts of high CAD: - Debt sustainability/debt trap - "Golden straight jacket" - the limitation of government policy to suit the needs of foreign creditors - reduce growth/standard of living (you can link all the bad stuff of low economic growth) - major fluctuations within...

    The Howard Years

    Ok, I may have been over the top in the last post. I am not saying Howard is crap, infact he's pretty decent, but he can do a lot better. I disagree with Pitchford, even though, assuming that Pitchford is right and we have nothing to worry, why not make a decent attempt to fix it up...

    The Howard Years

    There hasn't been any real attempt to remove the main constraints on the economy - the huge current account deficit and inflation. So at the moment, any means to alleviate unemployment, the most direct means of raising standard of living, would simply mean the RBA pushing the red button called...

    Help with essay question

    For the first part, go to the RBA site, find the figures for CAD, put it in excel, turn into the graph, interpret the trend. Then go to a textbook and leech everything out from there. For the second part, checkout the economic notes under biki. Just wondering, what textbook you guys use? this...

    $453 There are some small books which aren't really worth spending money on, just make raid to your library course reserve, and photocopy the sections you need :).

    Whos nervous about the first day back?

    First year students, please arrive about 10 mins early, a lot of people are enthusiastic about their first day and arrive heaps early, you don't want to come on time and have 40-50 devoted students staring at you while you try to find a spare seat in a packed class or end up sitting on the floor...

    Braces

    I had a metal wire inserted at the back of teeth instead of retainers, I can't feel a thing, you're suppose to have them for a few years, but the Doc said you can have them on for a life time. Yea, the real pain is when you first get your breaces and when they tighten them. You can't eat...

    Woes About understanding CAD

    1. Net foreign liabilities is how much we owe to foreigners as a means of paying off a high CAD. Everytime we run a CAD, we sell a little bit of Australia as sort of a security 2. How bad? By IMF standards, anything over 3% is something over a concern, anything over 6% is redlining. It's not a...

    scaling at UWS

    When I got some certificates for UWS it showed that for a popular unit (with about 150 studnets), its usually top 10% for HD and top 20% for D. For a less popular unit (with about 75 studnets), its ususally top 10% for D and top 5% for HD.
