Ignorance? Or purely a belief that I cannot know which one is true? I_F

Get a copy of the Physics syllabus, and write out answers for each dot point. The exam will be based directly on the dot points, and if you know them all, you'll be well set. :) I_F

Woah, 30 minutes! The video I made for Year 10 a few years back was only 7. For that amount of time, you'll need 2-3 full songs per video. Try theming the videos - one could be your year at play (rocky music with a beat), another your year at work (not quite so exuberant, but keep the energy in...

Year 10 Maths has option topics that introduce Prelim concepts. Our Year 10 covered some of these at the end of last year (we didn't get time to the year before), and I think it's normal for schools that finish early and have enthusiastic Year 10 cohorts. :) I_F

That's why I'm one too, if one still searching for some path to walk down. I_F

Coldplay's Clocks is quite good. Actually, I find that most Coldplay songs suit these types of videos. I'm probably going to use Nickelback's Photograph for our Year 12 video - that's a nice "memories" type of tune. Green Day's Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) is overused - avoid it. For party...

The UAI results change from year to year, so SAM will give you a good general indication, but it won't be entirely accurate. Also note that SAM uses aligned marks, not raw marks, to calculate a UAI. Say you received a raw mark of 60/120 in Extension 2 Maths. Aligned, this mark would be about...

Perhaps because no one has yet come forward and said "Belief in God is unprovable - it is fundamentally the acceptance of a being whom no one can comprehend, understand, or know to exist". I guess the best conclusion that can come out of this thread is that a God may or may not exist, and that...

This time next year you guys should be doing revision and such since it'll be your HSC year, but for now, take it nice and slow. No use exhausting yourselves this far out. :) I_F

A pager is a little device popular in the US that only carries messages. Pager mode on your phone is similar to this: incoming calls are deactivated and you are only notified for SMS messages and voice mail. I_F

Middle of the holidays and it's urgent? You're dedicated. :) Ethanol can be added to petrol in small amounts (up to about 10-20%) without need for engine modifications. In this case, I believe that the petrol and ethanol are just mixed together and pumped into the tank. Pure ethanol can...

If you use a car for work, or if a car allows you to earn more money at your job, then it could be regarded as an investment, since you're using it to earn money. However, in the general sense of the word, cars are not investments since they depreciate in value and require a lot of money to keep...

It's apparently $689 for the full version, and $289 for the upgrade (source). Seeing as though you already have Photoshop 7.0, you would be best served by buying the upgrade version (I'm pretty sure you can upgrade from 7.0 to CS2). :) I_F

Wikipedia's article on nuclear power plants Quick pro/con summary Those should get you started. For more, try searching Google for "nuclear advantage disadvantage". :) I_F

Perhaps she would be better served by learning how to run the department first. I_F

Most subjects (except for extensions) are worth 2 units. For the UAI, your best 2 units of English (usually your only 2 units of English) plus your next best 8 units are counted, so more subjects does not equal better marks. In fact, more subjects can mean less time devoted to each individual...

This is Applications of Calculus to the Physical World. I *think* the velocity of the particles is given by the derivative of their positions, so you derive the equations and equate them together. You should get two results - two times. Subtract the lower from the higher to get the time between...

WMP can't play .mov files out of the box, so you will need Quicktime (or you can get a codec, like Kid.@dmin suggests). As a general rule, WMP + Quicktime will play pretty much anything out there. :) I_F

Sometimes, you just have to have a break. I had an enormously busy term 3 and 4, with a draining music exam in the holidays between. It got to the point where I almost couldn't be bothered doing anything for the last half of term 4, I was that exhausted. I've been taking it very easy for the...

My hands don't cramp up, but my arm, especially around the elbow, kills me if I've had a whole slew of exams in a short time. I guess playing piano is good for the fingers, though I might need to do something about the arm.... I_F
