Vaio's are an expensive waste of money. The only 'premium' PC laptops worth purchasing are the thinkpads...

Friedman was a post-Keynsian too. RE: Rudd v Abbott: Abbott is well and truly the lesser of two evils. He thinks aloud and says silly things, but I see this as very genuine and a nice change from Rudd's ability to talk for hours and say nothing. Rudd's also more insidious, insofar as he is...

How did WorkChoices affect you, Neil? EDIT: If there is one thing an increase in workplace flexibility does not do, it's destroy jobs. Yes, some people may have been sacked because the business was tanking, but they would have lost their jobs in the long run anyway when the auditors came in...

Parma's supposed to be great

I'm not throwing words niggah, I'm throwing concepts. If you're subsidising product A to decrease the use of product B, then you're leaving the producers of product C in the cold, because you should just be taxing B more.

That's as dumb as Slidey's idea. Read up on Pigovian taxes. Nuclear power does not possess a positive externality, neither does a well built home, except insofar as they avoid the negative externalities associated with fossil fuels. Ergo you tax the negative externality, you don't subsidise...

The second point is overcommitted tosh in the same vein as the insulation subsidy. If you make energy more expensive then people will choose to build such houses (or convert their existing ones) as an economic imperative.

It's a prisoner's dilemma, but also one where everyone else can see your hand. China absolutely spacked at the idea of developed countries unilaterally lowering their emissions because they knew if this happened then in a few years they would look really bad if they were the only ones not doing...

Climate change is a negative externality. The onerous cost of pursuing compensation through the Courts, and the long term nature of the carbon release indicates that it is infeasible to regulate this behaviour through the tort system alone. There is a market for appearing to be green but that...

Do HCI if you want easy marks.

Is that Internet Software Platforms? It's ok if you get a decent group (I didn't), but there's much better stuff on offer by SIT.

The casual segue into colonialism at the end was ridiculous. "Bumper crop this year boys, this opium will buy some fine slaves!"

ssh into SIT ~yo~

Lab 2 attached, lab 1 too large so I'll ftp it up somewhere.

If you're using windows you can also put System("PAUSE"); before your return statement and the "Press any key to continue..." dialog should be displayed.

These things exist for a fraction of a second then disappear completely.

sudo apt-get gcc

Why would you lump science in with arts instead of engineering or med?

It's really not. 6mb is a couple of journal articles. Tunnelling through the school of IT gives me another 10MB though, and they don't cut you off straight away when you reach your limit, they just check it periodically, so you can feasibly download a couple of gigs before you're caught.
