    using machinery in universities

    yep, you can use machinery in uni, pretty much like in HS, the general conditions are quite reasonable: * relevant lecturer's permission (i.e. the one in charge of the industrial tech stuff preferably - let them know what machinery you'll be using, what it's being used for and how long you...

    Digital Cameras

    hmmm, currently looking around for a digital SLR, and i've got my eye on that one... it does look good... how much did you pay for it? i've seen it advertised recently for $2,299, is that a good price? does anyone have a Canon EOS 20D? (SLR, about 8.1 megapixels) that's the one i REALLY...

    East Asian Earthquake

    who knows, but i don't think it will stop anytime soon... as sad as it is, i can imagine there would be many thousands more who are still unaccounted for. On top of that there'd be some who survived the tsunamis but may yet die as a result of their injuries, or from disease perhaps... with...

    Come on Art Students! I need your help!! Digital Media vs Graphic Design!

    i'd say start out with graphic design... then try expanding into digital media if you find you're interested in that also. (it does pay to be multiskilled) My degree started out majoring in visual arts (good to develop drawing, colour and composition skills, those lie at the core of most good...

    sims 2

    lol! In sims 1, my sister had this kid she didn't want (as she'd accidentally given him the default name of 'SimChild'), so she made him walk out into the backyard, and put a picket fence around him (so the social worker person couldn't take him away) and left him there to whinge, starve and...

    People who moved away from home for uni!
