    Forum upgrade at midnight tonight

    I don't think that is possible... It's possible for it to look like you're on the same level as others who were previously lower than you, but you can't be lower than them unless they've been repped more than you've been repped since rep came back. Maybe everyone else is just getting repped...

    Forum upgrade at midnight tonight

    No one has lost any reputation. I revised the thresholds required for the boxes though. :) So, everyone is still ranked the same, but the display of your boxes has been scaled back a little. Waf and jumb are gold members because they were at the top of the game the first time around, and even...

    Sticky threads now separated. Also, new tag (omit the space): / me [action] /me thinks he should be working on something other than tags.

    It includes the Extension 1 students as well.

    Explanation of HSC Marks (Moderating)

    Yes, they are taken into account, but they are not always preserved. This is just a side effect of using a quadratic curve to moderate them rather than a straight line (which is only capable of implementing some of the principles underlying the moderating algorithm and not all).

    University offers online?

    I have a complete copy - will post over weekend.

    Am I too late?

    There are no vacancies left for that course so you're very unlikely to get an offer. These IT courses had cut-offs around your UAI and still have vacancies: B Computer Science @ Charles Sturt University (Bathurst) B Inf Tech/B Multimedia @ Griffith University B Engineering/B Inf Tech @...

    A bit of fun, see if you need a tutor?

    I think georgefren and Takuto have reasoned out the answers to both variants of the question. Dealing with the second variant first... We all know: d=st In this case, the distance is the same whether she walks or cycles, but the speeds and times differ, so: d=s_{w}t_{w} d=s_{c}t_{c} Thus...

    Judge Me, Should i do extension 1?

    93 in SC maths puts you in about the top 3-4% of the state. You should definitely take Extension 1! :)

    Received an offer for UNSW LAW even though not supposed to?

    lol It wasn't that long ago. I graduated from UNSW at the end of 2007. :)

    what marks do the unis see

    They have access to the marks reported by the Board and your UAI.

    Explanation of HSC Marks (Moderating)

    The moderating algorithm calculates a conversion curve to convert the raw assessment marks into moderated assessment marks. The curve is a simple parabola of the form: y = ax^2 + bx + c where 'x' is the raw assessment mark, 'y' is the moderated assessment mark, and the constants 'a', 'b' and...

    I've spent a lot of time trying to optimise the server tonight and reduce loading times. Please let me know whether you notice any difference (improvements or irregularities).

    DJ Thread- Equipment

    $50 p/h, usually about three hours I was happy. :) There is absolutely no substitute for practice in a live environment though. Hardest part is reading the crowd. Beatmixing isn't hard to learn (though it can be very frustrating when you are just starting out). Once you get the hang of it...

    DJ Thread- Equipment

    Hmm I initially I did a lot of software DJing - I found MixMeister really easy to use, and it was fun to create mixes at home and give them to friends etc. By doing that in my spare time for a while I started developing an ear for beatmatching and a sense for song selection, what works and...

    DJ Thread- Equipment

    I don't have any equipment (too expensive) but typically request CDJ 1000s if I'm at a club. Got a relatively decent pair of Sennheiser headphones. Genre - fairly standard I suppose, usually commercial house and dance, little bit of electro - and on some nights retro party anthems - though I...

    Received an offer for UNSW LAW even though not supposed to?

    The rule about not having completed more than one year of tertiary study is only a guideline. Exceptions are sometimes made. It's possible that in this case the institution decided to make you an offer anyway. They would certainly have been aware of your academic history. Provided there has...
