    Microsoft Surface 3 (not the Pro)

    yes you can- it's a normal Windows PC after all. It only has one USB port so unless you are willing to use it up, a Bluetooth one is probably a better option. I did try it with my Logitech Unifying receiver with my old k400r keyboard and it worked well too. But that being said, the Type Cover...

    UT99 (classic/original) vs UT2004 ... and my netbook 2.0.

    Haha you're the 2nd person I've talked to (not counting UT forums) who played Tac Ops :) I did enjoy it more than CS for some reason back then.

    UT99 (classic/original) vs UT2004 ... and my netbook 2.0.

    Just tried UT2004 on my Surface 3 and it was pretty epic. Everything set as default except maxed out resolution at 1920 x 1200 (close to my Surface 3's resolution of 1920x1280) and 32-bit colour depth. Surprisingly smooth with no lag whatsoever. I'm starting to really like this little Atom...

    Microsoft Surface 3 (not the Pro)

    Ended up getting keyboard type cover and surface pen.

    Cadetship 2015

    I feel that based on the descriptions of the video interview experience, it's really more of an application in video form. I think it's similar to other organisations which use this sort of technique to ask for applications and see how well one can present/communicate. It's extremely...

    Presumably there will be a face to face interview after where they can ask the other stuff? Or was your video interview the only stage?

    do you miss your private tutors

    naturally, yes. But there's nothing stopping you from staying in touch/being friends (even if only on FB).

    Again check with your firm's HR. I know some people who missed out on study/textbook allowances because they weren't actually attending uni.

    Cadetship 2015

    Yes it would - not every firm will have capacity for you to start earlier since they have probably planned their resourcing/intake based on normal timelines (you'll want to discuss this with HR) and you may end up financially worse (e.g. you may miss out on a semester of study grant; but this...

    Cadetship 2015

    Shouldn't be too difficult- after all, you don't know anything technical yet so it'll be expected you learn everything on the job from your senior (it may be the person who was in your role a year ago, or it may be an actual senior). Usually first week or two is training of some form, and then...

    Before School Classes (i.e. P0)

    If you've got an official p0 class, why not?

    Cadetship 2015

    Agreed - definitely need to plan ahead for this. Even in the phone interviews, it's not uncommon for an interviewer to ask you to talk about a recent article in the media especially if you say the way you keep up to date on current events is by reading the financial review (c'mon, really?). If...

    iOS gaming - just bought a Steelseries Stratus XL controller for iPad

    This is me munching on food whilst playing on the plane.

    Cadetship 2015

    Have you considered the reason why they would skip over you if you're a double degree student? Remember the point of a cadetship is to get people who are committed to the process and definitely want this career path because it is tough and if you aren't in it for the long term (nor to get there...

    Cadetship 2015

    If you don't understand the difference between a professional services firm and a bank, you shouldn't be applying until you know what you are signing yourself up for. Do some research on the roles being offered and the commitment required before you get too excited about the concepts of...

    Does anyone have ipt past papers

    There used to also be a book available which you could buy which also included model answers. I found that very helpful when I was studying for IPT back when I did the HSC (some ten years ago =__=").

    iOS gaming - just bought a Steelseries Stratus XL controller for iPad

    Whilst waiting for an airplane yesterday I came across a problem when trying to play this in a very very crowded space - I was unable to put my iPad on the seat across from me in the waiting area whilst using bluetooth headphones + the controller and play a game without it lagging on the input...

    iOS gaming - just bought a Steelseries Stratus XL controller for iPad

    Tried it using Airplay (wifi) to my Apple TV and it wasn't smooth even though my router (wireless AC) is fast. It was very playable and I'd estimate FPS would be 25ish but playing Asphalt wasn't great. I don't have the Lightning to HDMI cable but I have the old 30 pin dock connector to HDMI so I...

    iOS gaming - just bought a Steelseries Stratus XL controller for iPad

    At 280g it's comparable to an Xbox 360 controller (265g). Quality is good and much better than some earlier alternate which felt like cheap third party controllers despite not being cheap. This one is the XL which is slightly cheaper than their other older models but it used AA batterie and is...

    iOS gaming - just bought a Steelseries Stratus XL controller for iPad

    Not really, I played Asphalt 8 for about an hour and 10-15mins on MC5 and battery went down 10% or so - and that's with Spotify streaming in the background too to my bluetooth headphones. Maybe the battery consumption varies depending on what game you're playing - I play a bit of modern combat 5...
