LOL. Sunny is a good bloke and is very good with computers (a bit too good... note to self: kill sunny before next comp class). You probably won't have to change your study schedule or whatever for uni. Honestly guys don't get freaked out you'll be ok. The level of difficulty is similar or a...

*slap* I think we all know this is a rhetorical question. Run, run while you still can!

Not to state the obvious but have you tried pressing the Degauss button on your monitor?

You would need to tell us what firewall software you're using. A firewall is a program that controls access to your computer from other computers over networks like the Internet. Are you using the firewall that comes with Windows XP? Does your dail-up/cable/ADSL modem connect right into your...

Yeh, that's what my old maths teacher said. She said the new 2 unit maths course is harder than the old one before they reformed the HSC.

I think you're talking about me mclake? :) I did 2 Unit maths and rejoiced when I passed both my maths courses in first session because a couple of lecturers told me they didn't expect me to pass and most 2U people failed. I don't think they take into consideration that the 2 Unit HSC maths...

No way! If you try and park right next to the Uni (on High St or thereabouts) then of course there's none there. But 1 min walk from uni there is free all-day parking in the suburbs.

For anyone that's stressing about their choice of uni because of transport issues - don't. You might have to struggle for a little while with public transport, but a lot can change in your first year and you might even move, get a car, or whatever!

And if you guys are comparing the student systems of UNSW and USYD, I can honestly say that UNSW shits all over USYD. My gf goes to USYD and the shit they put up with is unbelievable for a computer-based enrolment system. They only find out their timetable the same week they start uni. She...

I'm doing software engineering at UNSW, yep :). The comps are great. You will always be able to find a computer (there are plenty of computer labs) and it's all run very well.

Nah, I blabbed on about programming I did. He said I'd probably be bored doing comp1701 so he let me in :)

Hey Winston don't get down on that. I did that for the whole year to UNSW (apart from the last couple of months). It's not that bad, and you'll have plenty of time to read or whatever on the train. Just beware on the way back at night of the smooth massaging motions of the train.. zzz...

Sppt. I just did the normal Maths course for HSC, and got less than 97 but I still did comp1711. I had a nice guy at the enrolment day who let me in. Like the guys above said, it's so much better than the normal comp class. It's probably worth it for the lecturer alone! I think just about...

Well, if by west you mean out near Campbelltown, I used to live there and my dad went to unsw catching bus+train+bus to uni nearly every day for a few years. It will be cheaper than a car (depending if you own it or not), but more frustrating. Hell, even from where I live (near Sutherland...

No problem. Tho, I reckon your other proposed feature of checking if their definitions are up to date will be nigh-impossible through executing the binary. Best bet is to see if you can maybe parse some configuration files from the anti-virus programs, if they keep them (like .ini's for...

That's ok except you can't rely on return values for every program being the same. http://www.stat-communications.com/antispam/readme.html Check out that page, they've got anti-virus support for a couple of programs (scrolll down to "VIRUS SCANNING." Or, go here and check out virus.pl...

Luckily for mclake and I, seng1010/1020 didn't have an exam (just assessments), the infs course and exam was over in the first half of the session, and only the maths exam was left for the fateful last exam. BTW, if I failed a course which was on the program of my degree (say, oh, math2400 of...

Lol. I remember to play the latest cool games on my friend's commodore 64 we had to connect the cassette tape deck and press the "play" button. Funny that it was only around 10 years ago!

Or they probably won't even care if you aren't going for a job through a graduate program.
