    the OC

    It would depend on whether her video and sound cards have the appropriate connectors; afaik most generic sound-cards don't have RCA out, but you could connect up the visual signal and just play sound through the PC speakers. The whole thing is probably more trouble than it's worth unless she has...

    the OC

    I know most people just download episodes anyway, but would you prefer Channel Ten just got on with season two rather than this Reloaded crap?

    Seven's new slogan 'GOTTALOVEIT'

    David Koch used to call them "news hits". found that ironic - news shows should have more than just spasmodic "hits" of news. edit: to change 'David Kock' back to 'David Koch' - freudian slip :P?

    American Idol Christmas Special!

    Why do the Americans have to make every song into a gospel / power song? They have no sense of subtlety.

    Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004

    and she didn't look like she was enjoying it if you're going to sing a tarty song like that, you should (a) not be 10 years old and (b) have an "outgoing" personality

    Seven's new slogan 'GOTTALOVEIT'

    Seven never admit defeat... even when everyone is sick of Sunrise and has realised it doesn't actually show any news, David Koch and Melissa Doyle will still be smiling and harping on about how friendly and hip they are as the tell us to 'make the switch' :rolleyes:.

    Australia's Brainiest Kid

    The codebreaking thing (that set the order for the round where they have to answer as many questions as possible in the time limit) was stupid ... the order completely dictated how well they went ... the three guys who went first had the highest scores - coincidence? I don't think so, that...

    Can someone explain this for a foreigner?

    All of the following information generally applies only to New South Wales. The Higher School Certificate, or HSC is a combination of an external examination (like the SAT's if I'm not mistaken) and a series of assessments carried out within your high school. The HSC is administered by the...

    Is there a good possibility the Board will reject the application out of hand, requiring another $30 to be sent off?

    getting exam papers back

    AFAIK, no. The best you can do is getting your raw marks via a Freedom of Information request (discussed in the UAI: Technical Arcana forum); or, as DaRanjed said, seeing your paper used as a sample. But that still won't give you all your marks.

    What's with this pamphlet crap "SO YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO UNI"

    The Science faculty at USyd mailed me their overview of Science courses booklet, because I have science as my first preference. Isn't that a bit counter-intuitive? I would assume that most people would do a little research before actually putting in a preference ... because the uni spams me with...

    What's with this pamphlet crap "SO YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO UNI"

    I went to a breakfast before the last open day at USyd (Live Day in August). Basically they just served us muffins and then sent us in to a lecture about scholarships, which I think any member of the public could see later on in the day anyway. But free food, so meh. USyd sent me some invitation...

    Is this right?

    Definitely not. There is nothing wrong ... Lainee is right in that geography, when scaled, was higher than drama. Basically, a 71 in geography is "worth more" than a 76 in drama because better students do geography than drama. If you want to know exactly how it works, search this forum for the...
