Thanks for the upgrade, guys. A few nice new features (mmmm instant posting without a page reload...), but overall keeping BoS working the same way. Top stuff. :) I_F

BoS was updated last night to vBulletin version 3.5.3. That's why the post confirmation screen appears now, and it's up to the admins on whether they want to leave it on or disable it. There are also likely to be a few little glitches here and there as we get used to the new software. I'm not...

I'm using Firefox 1.5 too. Quick reply doesn't work for me either, and the fancy new edit feature (where the edit box appears in the thread itself without loading a new page, check in Internet Explorer if you don't know what I mean) doesn't go. However, on another vBulletin 3.5.3 board I...

When you're rotating about the x-axis, you need to use functions of x and dx. When you rotate around the y-axis, you use functions of y and dy. So for your first question, you need to change the subject of the functions to x, since you're rotating about the y axis. y = x2 x = √y y = 2 -...

Usually, these options are found in the "Advanced Chipset Features" menu in the BIOS. However, if they're not there, your BIOS might not support the features. My laptop doesn't have those two either, for example. I'm not really sure of anything that will get you the features apart from upgrading...

Hehe, for most topics, Wikipedia's an excellent basis for your research. Sorry I didn't cover the real question. For these types of questions, you should write a paragraph answer with examples (examples are always good as they show you can back up your comments with knowledge). My start for...

One of my friends recently bought a Digitalstar (Australian company) PowerNote with an ATi 9700 graphics chip. The laptop plays Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2, etc., and it only cost him $1899 or something like that. I can't track down that exact laptop (they seem to have discontinued it) but a...

Hahaha. A guy in my year actually got permission from the Ancient History teacher to bring 'rations' into class because he gets so hungry. He eats 8 or some insane number like that of Weet-bix for breakfast, so I'm not surprised... :p I_F

Hey there, welcome to BoS. I hope you find the community an enjoyable one to be a part of. :) The molar heat of combustion of a substance is the heat liberated when one mole of that substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen. There's more to the definition, but that's the important...

Sorry to burst your panic bubble, but the current government wouldn't have anything like the tech you'd need to check your IP. At least, that I know of. It's NSA-style stuff. Try a new virus scanner and spyware scanner - AVG Anti-virus, Ad-Aware, and Spybot are all highly recommended by me...

Unfortunately, a lot of people, who then make bad decisions based on their incorrect knowledge. :( I_F

Firstly, if you don't know much about the Table, check out Wikipedia's page on it - it's a good intro. Use Google to find out more info (search for "periodic table groups", etc.) :) Groups on the Periodic table run downwards. There are 8 groups, and all of the elements in each group (the...

There wasn't enough Stewie in this episode... that and the totally random chicken fight. OK, so it's some chaos, but what the hell? I_F

No one in our class did Legal Studies this year - we all stuck to a History, Business Studies, or Economics. They offered it, but no one bit... :p I_F

Ack, that's right, the transformations! I thought there may have been a link between 32 + 42 = 52, but I missed it completely. *hit head on keyboard* It's 2-unit, I'm sure, Keypad. I remember now the looks of dismay and confusion in the class when our teacher went through it. :p I_F

I find it very hard to motivate myself for 4-unit Maths, where I have a class of 3, and Economics, where I have a class of 5. However, I feel there's a distinct advantage to having smaller class sizes because of the extra time you get with the teacher (my largest class is 14). Plus, my year as a...

Keep Adobe, Java, and DirectX. Actually, upgrade Adobe reader to version 7.0 from here. Adobe reader 7.0 is leaner, faster, and less of a resource hog than 6.0. "KBD" is a Logitech utility that allows you to configure the media buttons on your keyboard. If you never use those keys, you can...

Right now, relax and keep your cool. Work hard through Year 11, but don't burn yourself out and don't miss out on enjoying yourself. Senior school is an experience you're likely never to have again, so try not to miss having fun along the way. The Year 11 course forms a foundation for the Year...

UMAT basically looks at how good people are at logically synthesising information and empathically presenting it to people (so's we have nice doctors). Sample questions include: More info can be found from Icarus.edu's intro to UMAT. I_F

Someone's faked a moon landing or major terrorist attack before? I_F
