Did you actually do Am-241? I was expecting to be the only person to write that, but oh well.

Not using Bcc in mass emails without asking first should be a crime ;) I'd assume any decent SDD teacher would know that. This year my school is taking 11SDD, but the teacher is also the sole sysadmin, has fibromyalgia, takes two 9/10IST classes, is evil, and isn't great at teaching the...

Yes, RoR is also a choice. Just remember that not all SDD teachers are smart enough to set up a web app. You could of course use one of those 'server-on-a-CD' apps or mod XAMPP or something, but that's probably overkill.

Can't remember, I think it was 4th or so. Still, I got like 78 in the exam and was around mid-way. I think Karabar tries to scale us down or something by giving easy exams. The ATs Karabar gives us are really stupid compared to the major projects everyone else does. There are two Karabar...

Official BOS enrolment statistics for 2007: Subject: Software Design & Development Units: 2 Females: 147 Males: 1730 Total Enrolments: 1877 So there you have it: 7.83% of SDD students are girls, the rest are guys. For comparison, IPT has 1517 girls, 3744 guys, 5261 total, which means it's...

I like programming, I like designing, I can do the theory part and I understand why the theory is important. That said, I don't think I've come out with any more useful knowledge than when I went in. I've realised the traditional waterfall method of documentation is inefficient, and projects...

At least you get a major project =/ I'm doing it DE and my DEC is crap. I would recommend a decent modern language like Python or PHP. If you're good at making webpages one good way to do a project is to write it as a web application using PHP or one of the many Python web frameworks. It's...

Best question ever! Big marks, and I know about it :) I did Tc-99m, and, I think I'm the only person here to do Am-241. Sure, that's a bit of a stretch, but I suppose smoke alarms come under 'industry'.

I think it was pretty good, my classmates weren't too impressed, they had mental blocks trying to come up with the names of Galvani, Davy, Volta, etc., I believe it was in the shipwrecks option. For the big shipwrecks question I just said iron, steel and sacrificial anodes like zinc and...

I got HCl and Na2CO3 mixed up, if the answers here are correct. Oh well, hopefully I can get one of the two (yes, I'm sure it was two) marks for hopefully getting the Ba and Pb compounds in the right order.

I found it alright. A few questions, notably the Shipwrecks option topic one about the evolution of metals used in shipbuilding as a result of different marine environments, I found quite ambiguous and just had a guess. I don't remember how to do ppm, but I got somewhere around 70,000+ ppm...

Debian GNU/Linux FTW ;) No more antivirus software for me! For all those poor Windows users who need antivirus: 1) Switch to Linux 2) NEVER use Norton. Or anything Symantec. They're simply really crap.

Alpha particles = little penetration, but extremely ionising and therefore really dangerous. Used for things like thickness measurement and smoke detectors. Beta particles = a little more penetration, less ionising than alpha. Not really sure what they're used for, but they are used in...

I'm studying - I've been going to a private tutor for the past few weeks ;) Expensive, but helps compensate for the fact that my chem class as a whole is pretty bad. Anyway, good luck to everyone :)
