    Best/Most Useful Textbook

    Why is it that all the schools seem to use Maths in Focus when it is so bad? My school uses it so I went and got myself Cambridge today just to save myself from failure. Surely the teachers realise that there are better textbooks out there? Can someone offer some enlightenment here?

    Saddam sentenced to death

    Isn't Khomeni already dead? I thought he was the one who died and somehow that had something to do with the Iranian Revolution... :confused: Perhaps don't take my word for that

    Saddam sentenced to death

    As bad as he is (or now, was), somehow I don't think execution was the right thing to do... we can probably expect an upswing in violence in Baghdad over the next day or so Bit sadistic to record it... (I know they had to, but seeing someone get hanged on YouTube isn't very tasteful)

    If you had $200 to blow on books...

    Interview Offers for MED at USYD

    Favourite Harry Potter Book

    I wonder if Harry and co. have realised that it starts getting hectic towards the end of each school year... like come on, as much as I like the series, is Harry etc that blind? As if you wouldn't spend your whole year learning various hexes and such in order to prepare for the "completely...

    What are you currently Reading?

    As I am currently having a Kafka craze, I just finished The Metamorphosis yesterday. Its very cool; Gregor wakes up as a man-sized bug, it follows his struggle with his 'condition' in his family's home. I think its a good little piece about isolation and discrimination, and it made me feel a...

    Business Week ??

    God no. Business Week is the biggest waste of time ever. Would've rathered gone to class. Don't see why we couldn'tve done work experience instead. You get in groups (we didn't get to choose), name your 'hotel' and make descisions each 'quarter' (for 8 quarters) as to how you run the...
