So, where do they go from here? They can't move forward without all member states. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aQ46UqWi6kQU&refer=home TBH I'm glad Ireland blocked it. It's tantamount to a European Constitution a.k.a. the United States of Europe. I could probably be...

Quite disgusting, really... by any stretch of the word, Scientology is clearly a cult. Moreover, a high court judge ruled that it was a cult back in 1984 (rather ironic date given the Orwellian tone of the UK today): Source: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/05/21/0037212.shtml More here...

Since so many people bring up issues in America as some sort of justification either for those of another country, such as China or Iran, or to make a point that such issues are unavoidable, here's a thread where they can be discussed without diluting a thread focused on another country or...

Stick with SDD; learn the stuff. It's actually fairly useless as a HSC subject, but once you get to uni, you'll realise you've already covered all of the design/documentation side of 1st year computing. I reckon it was worth it. I can't say much for it as a scaler, though. I'm a pretty ace...

Does anybody do Bachelor of Education at UNSW? What do you think of it? Specifically science education (maths and chem mostly).

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7264903.stm A rather radical, progressive and astounding move for a 99.8% Muslim country. But Turkey, despite its shady past (Armenian genocide and Invasion of Cyprus) has never been what you'd consider a typical Muslim country. It's both secular and a...

A length of toilet paper is rolled up. In total, the paper is 1m long. The paper has a height of 0.2mm at all points and consistent width. Assume the roll is mounted on a wall and that a person pulls it towards them at a costant rate (say one square of paper per second), ignoring gravity. Give...

For those interested, a few of us on BoS are organising AoE2 games. Post here if interested.

Valve (of Half-Life fame) is working on an Aliens FPS. That should be interesting. More interesting is that Obsidian (of Fallout, IWD, PS:T, NWN2, KOTOR2 fame, formerly Black Isle) is working on an Aliens RPG, with slight collaboration with Valve. It's their first unique setting as Obsidian...

Does anybody here like his books? Can anybody recommend other authors or books like him/his? Or just any good sci fi in general? For those interested I recommend: The Night's Dawn trilogy Pandora's Star (book one) Judas Unchained (book two) The Dreaming Void (part of a trilogy...

Hi. I'm currently a uni student (2nd year) but I'm kind of disenchanted with my degree. I'd like to take a year or two off and do some work and travel. I was thinking that East Timor would be a great place to do some volunteer work. My background is in maths and English tutoring (doing a comp...

Yo, so I need some help editing GRUB loader's commands in real-time. It loads up, gives a list of operating systems, but they're loading at the wrong disk - I installed on the disk when it as hd2 and now it is hd0. I can edit the commands fine but whenever I press escape, it reverts to hd2...

I'll go to the one with the most votes. And if you all intentionally vote Women's college, I'll ninja your arses. Actually, the smart thing to do would be to not include it. NINJA VANISH!

If anybody has any school exams/assessments lying around, scan them up (and attach them) for the good of all! Thanks. :D If you know of any assessments which don't seem to be known of on BOS currently, link to those, too. And good luck in any assessments you have coming up.

I just beat it in like a few hours. Geez I thought it was an actual games. It's just a few levels. Still, it was good fun. Short and sweet, I guess.

Give me some. :(

I suggest that you learn long division but don't use it for linear divisors. Use synthetic division instead: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/synthdiv.htm It's a great time saver, as it provides both the dividend and remainder, as with long division. It works for all divisors, however it's...

Grab it here, kiddies! http://www.graphmatica.com/ It's awesome and free*. A real help for the HSC. *Trial period of a month, then honour-based registration is required. It's a shame it isn't open source and truly free.
