    Office 2003 or 2007?

    Oh yeah, another thing, the docx files are soo much smaller...presumably because of better structure using xml or something. No idea. :)

    IPT Scaling

    Oh. Well that sucks. Would I theoretically be better off doing software via distance ed or something?

    IPT Scaling

    Does that mean those subjects can't contribute 50.0 marks?

    Office 2003 or 2007?

    Which do you prefer? The UI of office 2007 is one of the best I've seen, whoever created the "ribbon" should be promoted :) The ribbon is so much faster and easier to navigate than the hundreds of ugly grey menus imo. Too bad they were too lazy to implement it into the lesser used programs...

    So Who here is and/or trying to lose weight?

    Ditto. According to the BMI calculator, I'm pretty much at the dead center/average...yet I hardly exercise at all, apart from walking to places/compulsory school sport.

    IPT Scaling

    So there's a maximum mark IPT can contribute to your UAI? Not that I'm likely to get a UAI of 100, but isn't it theoretically possible to get a UAI of 100 with any combination of subjects? What if you got 100% as a raw or aligned mark? Would it be scaled down then, or would it be scaled to 100%...

    So Who here is and/or trying to lose weight?

    :rofl: Wouldn't it be funny to randomly go up to someone and start talking about "losing mass"?

    Subject Selection question

    Hi, I'm an '10er too, so my knowledge of this isn't great. Are you taking extension 2 in year 12? Because year 11 does not count towards your UAI. If you're taking extension 1 but not extension 2 next year, it is counted on your best ten units; if a one-unit subject (e.g: extension math 1) is...

    So Who here is and/or trying to lose weight?

    Never really tried...parents pretty much decide what I eat, so the diet bit is ok. As for exercise...I spend my days sitting in a comfy chair in front of my laptop, thus the average arms (typing, grabbing things, navigation via arms + wheelie chair) and flabby legs (lack of walking) :uhoh: My...

    DET Portal

    If you guess the secret question, wouldn't it ask you to reset the password and not give it to you? Wouldn't the teacher notice that they couldn't login? But then again, if they write a general knowledge question as their "secret" question, then I guess they wouldn't be using technology much...

    What are you allergic to?

    Some harsher skin products... Sometimes I get eczema & hay fever. I would love spring if it weren't for the hayfever...

    Periods per day

    Our lunch is 5 min longer than yours, but otherwise, exactly the same. :( I want longer lunch!

    Extra-curricular activities in year 12

    What the...I swear there were more replies here. Oh, right...the off-topic ones. =/ I wasn't aware that off-topic replies were deleted...ah well.

    Rudd to ban thin models

    I've noticed all the changes he's making...some are good, but I think he should think about the consequences before agreeing to all those public opinions out there...he needs to understand that not every change that the population wants will be beneficial.

    Periods per day

    2.5 hours sitting on the same chair in the same room listening to the same teacher :o...I feel sorry you techies. As for different times everyday...I would be like WtfWhenDoesThisLessonEndArgh!

    Extra-curricular activities in year 12

    Chess!! Have not played that in years. How good are you? I suddenly don't feel the need to drop anything anymore. You must have some pretty good time management skills...

    Periods per day

    Tell me your secrets? Our system is so simple compared to others, the same almost everyday...yet I still can't remember. I'd rather carry around more books than sit for over an hour, listening to the same teacher drone on and on...that's why I hate double periods. No fair, I want two early...

    Periods per day

    Woah, so many different lengths..it must be pretty hard to remember when the bell rings :O I still haven't remembered all my bell times, even though our only variation is 35min periods on Tuesdays (early day). Hypothesis that our periods are way shorter than others = correct.

    Extra-curricular activities in year 12

    Good advice, though it would be a bit hard to slowly restrict planned lessons. Out of curiosity, what extra-curricular activities do you do?
