    Building new PC

    I don't think he needs to over clock at the moment considering the computer won't be used for anything too strenuous. It would be worth revisiting the liquid cooling option in the future, once over clocking is a necessity to maintain performance.

    Am i guaranteed to get an offer in the MAIN ROUND??

    1. You are guaranteed nothing as Rafy has posted above. 2. You only receive ONE offer per round. 3. You must order your preferences according to your own desirability. You can't game the system; it's an automated process.

    pros and cons of doing a single degree instead of a double degree?

    Yeah, the only reason why a dual degree is practically useful is that you have more options when you graduate. A dual degree doesn't add value to a graduate because they have little bargaining power to begin with.

    Paris Terror Attack

    Pretty much. The newspaper intentionally created their material without any tact so I can understand why people would be angry. Doesn't help bridge the divide between religious tolerance and freedom of expression. No reason to resort to murder though.

    Paris Terror Attack

    In Australia, illegally imported arms can be identified relatively easily, compared to other regions, because we don't have porous borders. Any arms used in Australia for terrorism will be either legally obtained (via a gun licence) or obtained through a well-established criminal organisation...

    HECS

    1) You should be all set-up provided you included all the relevant information (including TFN) during your application. 2) Your uni should send you a statement each semester on behalf of the Commonwealth Government. This breaks down the outstanding balance, and how much each unit cost. You can...

    Stockbrokers that accept 16 y/os // where to invest 200k?

    People under 18 can use Commsec provided that a parent or guardian is linked to the account IIRC.

    USYD Econ or UTS Law

    If you really want to do Law, then go to UTS. Keep in mind that you can still do a JD at the conclusion of your undergraduate degree though.

    What is everything that one should consider when comparing universities?

    Pretty much everything else you included on that list looks great.

    Offers

    Yes, just make sure that your preferences are ordered such that the UNSW course(s) are above the offer you received from UTS.

    What is everything that one should consider when comparing universities?

    World rankings aren't a good measure if you are considering an undergraduate degree. The rankings use metrics which are heavily weighted towards research output and funding, which doesn't affect undergraduates, nor the quality of teaching. Using the employment rate can be difficult too. These...

    Question about travel concession for 2015

    Provided things haven't changed since last year, ticket sellers and checkers know that 31 March 2015 is the defacto date for the expiry of concession entitlements for students with 2014 ID.

    2015 NSW State Election

    Prices won't increase because it's all regulated by the Australian Energy Regulator. Reliability won't change because that's also regulated too. Believe it or not, the industry has learned from privatisation in Victoria. Regulatory frameworks have evolved quickly as a result of past...

    So what are you guys playing at the moment?

    IIRC it's just a re-skin. I recommend that you check out Black Mesa instead.

    Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

    For all intents and purposes, a degree is only a set of administrative requirements. For example, a 'B Comm' or a 'B Sci' means nothing unless you know which majors were completed. This is a list of majors available to USYD students studying a B Sci. As you can see, these majors can be...

    Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

    To answer your question about economics being a good combo of maths and humanities, I would say you've got the right idea. Economics teaches students new ways to think about real world issues, but economic theory cannot be applied at face value. With the applied economics units, you'll gain an...
