    Bush's Creationism in schools remarks

    I'm happy with Intelligent Design being taught as part of the Religion or Philosophy courses, but I'm flat out against it being taught in the science cirriculum. Evolution is by no means the ultimate answer based on the evidence we have, but it has far more scientific backing to it than...

    Subjects- 'What not to pick...'

    23 is a large class. I have two classes that are bigger than that, GMaths and English, and Chem if you count year 12. Our school doesn't run things unless they're an Ext course or has about 13+people, so I was annoyed I didn't get Legal or Business, glad I got IPT Our school is that small...

    English Study Thread (for HSC 2006)

    There's displacement reactions, redox reactions, galvanic cells, electromotive force and electrode potential. Electrolysis was written out of the syllabus, I'm pretty sure. I_F

    "remember me" not working

    Make sure you're allowing sites to set Cookies. Open up the IE Tools menu -> Options -> Privacy tab. Then make sure the slider is set to Medium or Medium-High. See if that helps. I_F

    Hey how on earth do u find the focal length? *embarassed*

    The focal length is equal to a in the equation x² = 4ay. If you're given a question such as this: You divide the coefficient of y by 4 (from the equation: 8 = 4a, therefore a = 8/4), and then you get a (in this case, a = 2). If you get a question like this: The focal length is equal to...

    Handwriting

    That's a lie. I've seen Year 3 writing and it's beautiful. They haven't figured out that the teacher was lying when he said their teeth would fall out if they wrote outside the nice straight lines. Year 6 writing though... *shudder* I_F

    Upgrading Hardware

    wat i mean by in sync, is why i thought getting from dell is better. i thought dell gets hardware that works well together, eg some brand of harddrive and RAM work best together, so then if u build it urself, u might buy brands which arent best together. or does dell just get any hardware...

    speed of graphics card

    Most importantly in my opinion, ATi has struggled very hard to ensure this time round the new card on the block isn't just a paper launch. It's a pity that they haven't been as successful as NVIDIA - the 7800 GTX and GT launches were superb, with product ready to go on launch day. The R5-...

    speed of graphics card

    For graphics cards, clockspeed really isn't that important. More important are the number if pixel and vertex shader pipelines and the particular architecture (some games just like NVIDIA cards over ATi, and vice-versa). Example - the current NVIDIA 7800 GTX is clocked at around 430 Mhz. Its...

    Mr. and Mrs. X

    I think the answer's wrong as well. Your reasoning works out, so in all likeliness it's probably a misprint in the answers. I_F

    Mathematical Induction

    When you assume the formula true for n = k: 5+10+15+...+5k=5/2 k (k+1) ... you're saying that the equation is true for all numbers up to k. When you prove for n = k+1... 5+10+15+...+5k+5(k+1)=5/2 (k+1) (k+1+1) ... your assumption of 5+10+15+...+5k=5/2 k (k+1) equals the part in the...

    BoS sending spam?

    I got that email. I assumed that some spammer has simply lifted the boredofstudies.org URL, which is very well known to students, and used to to give their spam some more legitimacy. It's not too hard to fake the address line in emails these days (i.e. the noreply@boredofstudies.org), and you...

    Bird Flu

    There appears to have been outbreaks in Europe, with cases in chickens reported in Turkey and Romania. The EU is now scrambling to ensure that there isn't an outbreak. Experts say that a pandemic isn't likely, but if one does occur, it could kill 700,000 Britons in its first few months...

    Apc

    Average Propensity to Consume = Amount Consumed for Certain Income Level/That Certain Income Level. Basically, it's the percentage of your total income that you spend on goods and services (i.e. don't save). As a general rule, for low income earners, the APC is high, and it steadily decreases...
