    i want to buy a laptop

    Well they used to be a front runner in the computer market. But nowadays they hardly compare to Dell and custom solutions from places like www.emagen.com.au ... Depends on your needs though and your financial situation. If you don't need financing and you want to do word processing, get...

    i want to buy a laptop

    Well it won't be as good as the live, but I doubt you will hear much difference. I would imagine it's only a 2.1 channel sound card. Seeing as it's a laptop I think the sound is pretty good. :)

    My project is a source safe database..Similar to that of Microsoft's Visual Source Safe software. There are 2 applications, the server and the client. Basically you setup a project in it and tell it the folder where your source is stored. Everytime you log off windows it will remove all your...

    What to do?

    Ok, I'm looking at a UAI of 80 tops. I've screwed up royal. I wanted to do programming, it's the one thing that I (modesty aside) could probably kick anyone in the state in (for this year, and probably will in the software exam) but I've slacked off and lost so many marks for assessments in...

    i want to buy a laptop

    Because it isn't a mobile processor (it's your standard desktop cpu) it will guzzle your power faster so unless you have 2 batteries and are going to be near a powerpoint a lot a mobile variant is a better option. The standard processors are mainly for desktop replacement systems. The mobile...

    Optus speed limit petition

    I bet that it's in the TOS that they may limit your speed, in fact I think I read that a while ago (and I'd do that if I was optus). So petitioning against that is really a lost cause because legally they don't have to listen.. You will be ignored.

    UAI and Ranking question

    Well it depends on the classes. English (Adv) has 20 ish. Math is about the same maybe 18. But I don't think it's possible for me to get first in this unless everyone else just goes crap for the rest of the asessments. No one really get's massively high marks in my class about 80% or so which...

    Of course you aren't trying to save the ASP.NET file clientside are you? Of course not, you know that you need to grab it serverside ( ftp for example ) to actually have the aspx content.
