    help me pick a laptop!

    i question the build quality of them, and their relative chunky-ness compared to toshiba, hp and compaq's, aswell as appearance. fan loudness? reliability, weight? people think that laptops are all about the specs.

    help me pick a laptop!

    wireless quality? i dont get idiots that fork out double the price for a 108mbps router when the 54mbps works fine, it has a range of like 50 metres, which is like 2 neighbours down. furthermore, most adsl connections have a maximum capacity of 8mbps, usually less. thats like 800kb/s or...

    Intel to buy out NVIDIA

    yeah, intel is already the worlds largest maker of gfx cards. thanks to shitty intel gma (or whatever) integrated graphics cards being prevalent. especially in low-end dell-type pc's that sell to consumers who've never heard of a graphics card before.

    help me pick a laptop!

    i do this day in and day out as a computer salesperson at work, but its a lot harder on the net. laptops are as much about the specs as the look and feel of them. whathisface above is right in saying a desktop would be better for performance etc. but then you couldnt play with msn while your...

    Male and female attitude to HSC Economics different?

    that's because its your hardest subject, by a long mile. yeah, we should go back to bartering things, let alone interest rates, credit, international trade, bonds, hedging, and private equity. you're just happy as long as you can spend money on another dress or whatever with no concept of...

    Male and female attitude to HSC Economics different?

    that there are like 2 girls in my friends advanced maths course at usyd.. was more of a general statement, of course there are plenty of females better than males at economics, but females tend to like the "economics and social sciences" type-economics, rather than macroeconomics, on the whole.

    Stupid Ipod !@$@#@#^3

    all creative zen's have a higher SnR than ipods = higher sound quality. they have better tech specs. sure, the software isnt as easy to use. but it also transforms your whole music collection, renames all the file names, and fucks up your existing folder structures. id get a 3 year...
