Have you seen it's Hotmail counterpart, Windows Live Mail Beta? I've been testing it, and I think Microsoft raided Gmail's javascript library, bastardised it, added some banner ads, and there you go. Thank God it's only a beta... I_F

Firstly, see if the devices are installed: - Right-click on "My Computer", and click on Properties. - On the window that pops up, click on the Hardware tab and then click on Device Manager. - When the Device Manager opens up, click on the arrow next to DVD/CD-ROM drives. The entry...

Go go go! :D I_F

The promotion is also available through the ordinary Google site, Google.com, as well as Google NZ. I think it stays for a few days for each IP address, then disappears. In any case, I hope this means Gmail comes out of beta soon. 'Cause it's a bloody top-notch feature-complete beta that's...

True, true. But by that token, James Ruse might just have a very bad year coming up. I_F

The III, like Templar said, refers to the valency or oxidation number of the metal. Roman numerals only appear for compounds that contain transition elements with multiple valencies. Hence, lead (II) chloride is PbCl2, and lead (IV) oxide is PbO2 I_F

Hornsby Girls might give James Ruse a run for their money next year judging from their leap this year. But jeez, our school nabbed 76th in the state with 27 people in Year 12! 6 students with 90+ UAI. That's brilliant for a school our size... :o :D I_F

Baroque pieces aren't meant to have much emotion. Remember that the baroque period's main instrument was the harpsichord, which did not have the dynamic range of pianos today. Thus, baroque pieces are heavily ornamented to create interest, and aren't meant to have a big range of louds and softs...

The vBulletin board software comes configured with five main user groups: Administrator, Super Moderator, Moderator, VIP (Benefactor), and ordinary member, all of which are currently in use. I guess the BoS admins don't feel the need for any more groups. EDIT: Corrected. I_F

Is this test set by your school or is it a past paper? It's easier to say if we know how well your class does on a potential BoS paper rather than an internal one. But, assuming that the paper you sat is similar to a BoS one, your marks will be pulled downwards due to to overall poor performance...

I play, but I only started around Scourge. I_F

Sneaky sneaky mate, sneaky sneaky. I_F

Extension 2 Maths is not a prerequisite for any uni course. For engineering, HSC Maths and Physics are assumed knowledge, and Maths Extension 1 is recommended, from rusty memory. If you're good at maths and love it, then Extension 2 is your course. If you prefer the sciences however, I'd stick...

English has ruined nothing for me, because everything we studied was pretty crappy to begin with. Thank God... I_F

Economics and business studies have a slight overlap, and I would consider doing one instead of the other. Apart from that, it's down to your personal preference. What do you want to do? To get the highest UAI, you need to be doing subjects that you like. If you like the subject, you'll work...

Is it even possible to send the American President to jail? Impeaching the President is even worse. I_F

I'll pass then. His characters, his locations, his scenes are all mediocre at best. I bet I could re-write The Da Vinci Code, cut out fully half of the 'story' and make a few tweaks here and there and it would be a book you'd actually want to read. Ivy can back me up, she's read my stuff (must...

Iorek the bear didn't have a gun. Perhaps you're thinking of his Texas aeronaut friend, Lee Scorseby? I_F

Brown's style is simplistic, but it works for Angels and Demons. I thoroughly recommend you keep reading. And, as far as similarity goes, I think you can expect exactly the same thing for the third Langdon adventure, The Solomon Key, rumoured to be about the Freemasons and the Ku Klux Klan. I_F
