You get a 10% discount when you make large lump sum repayments although that is reduced to 5% come 1 January (government tightening their belts).
I would agree... it is borderline abuse. But my brother and I are pretty resilient. Grew up in country Australia... falling off animals, putting nails through feet, bitten by snakes (spiders, centipedes, catfish, leeches, wasps, bees, [insert anything that bites here]), dropping wood on feet, etc. Too be honest, caning was a bit of a joke.
Caning has been banned in Australian public schools for many years now.
Did you ever have to be taught by your parents? That brought a swift end to the troublemaking. Particularly when my mum marched me down to the deputy principle for a caning cause I smirked.
That's interesting... how long ago did you do this?
I've spent the better part of 4 hours trying to get RiverTrail to compile for Linux with no luck. I'd love more compute grunt for web graphics (online scientific visualisation) and this seemed pretty good.
Usually I use Java but really need access to the xmm intrinsics.
Perhaps I'll forget about parallel javascript if it is really as bad as you say.
There are numerous ways to get superlinear speedup. Turns out that it is not that hard. There is more to parallel programming that just 'cores'. Of course, it depends on the algorithm.
Americans really do not trust their governments. Maybe they have a good reason for it... I dunno. It seems you are happy to trust your government and I am happy to trust mine. Oddly enough, your country and mine are high on a voter turnout list while USA has the lowest voter turnout on this wikipage.
Now, some of my maths might be (a little) off, but...
I've just spent half the day processing financial files... 133KB average file size and processed (by process, I mean every byte is 'looked' at in c++ code) 4000 per second. I did this on a single file (compressed tar.gz) that when expanded is 7857 files and just over 1GB in size. The compressed file is temporarily stored in/dev/shm. The parallelisation is around one thread processing the ram drive file while the other file copies the next file (1GB file uncompressed, 65MB compressed) from a 5400rpm notebook drive (Thinkpad X60) to the ram drive.
Now, this latest in file processing by a giant of the industry has 'achieved' 3.55 million per second files 'processed' (and by processed it is never said what - but I'll assume the same as me) of files that are 650bytes in size (PDF says dataset was 6.5 TB).
I was processing on a notebook that is about 7 years old architecturally and achieved 544MB bytes processed per second and the latest IBM can do is 2.3GB per second.
Is this a *big* step forward? I should log into our cluster and do a test on memory a little more advanced and see how their numbers stack up.
I guess what i'm saying is, there is just no substitute for writing software properly.
What if the course is 100% simulation based? What if you spend the time creating CAD models (or whatever the term is), setting the loads and atmospheric conditions (etc) and then hitting it with various software packages (perhaps even own code for the really good ones) and solving in silica?
Just throwing a modernising question at you, that's all. Still useless?
At first I thought 'Bloody Crooks'... but then thought about it a little (note: a little).
Global computer usage efficiency just increased. Fewer systems are being used by more people to perform more work. Cool.
I realise that they are not compensating owners of the property but, too bad. Learn to secure your machine or just turn it off when you're not using it. And if you are using the machine and don't notice other work being done, what that say about how crap Windows has gotten (haven't used it in a decade) or how minor your usage is?
I'm inclined to call bullshit on the article... particularly to some 'quack' making a post on a blog (read - no scientific backup).
Having written a lot of 3D content 15 years ago, I'd say the issue people are having is more from getting the '3D' wrong. The parallax is not perfect (all sorts of reasons, ranging from poor depth calculation to floating point error) and as such the eyes cross over and other such crazy micro-movements. This is the issue. Not lack of associative movement. I'm sitting in the couch reading and watching TV... no headaches from lack of movement.
I'd say the blog is some medical 'hotshot' trying to be a know-it-all when he actually doesn't know. He had MD after his name... people take his word as gospel.
First step I'd like to see is accountability for incorrect statements. Very stiff monetary penalties for every incorrect figure or statement.
In the half hour I've been watching morning news (Australia) I have seen: Chernobyl has killed tens of thousands of people Japanese reactors are billowing plumes of highly radioactive smoke into the atmosphere

God, I hate that 'functionality'
People sometimes have multiply email addresses; Work and Private. Sometimes I need to know which one was used and the client I'm (forced) using does not allow me to see the whole email header and thus which email address - just the user's name.
The other thing I hate (shakes angry fist at exchange) is that you don't get to see what the link is before you click it. I am in the habit (like a lot of others I imagine) of hovering the mouse over the link to see the domain. Exchange/Outlook have a redirect that you cannot see. My bank may have sent me an email but I'll never know.
Seriously, making it difficult to fire someone is precisely why we have bad customer service from government institutions, higher prices, and crappy quality.
That's a nice, healthy hatred you have there of government. We like ours... it serves us and serves us well. The long term employees are happy and helpful. Maybe you should improve your system.

From The Wiki
The Metre:
"Since 1983, it is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum in 1299,792,458 of a second"
We do define distance in seconds. Although, perhaps not in this instance.

Could be purely coincidental.
I've never used DropBox but when family was wanting me to join so they could share some family movies (Canada and Australia) I set up AjaXplorer
It may not be the same but everyone liked it, used it and found it easy to use.

Somebody could build a name and shame website. The interns post their 'report cards' on the companies. Interns must use their full names.
Just an idea. Play to the fact that companies like to have a good image.
