Re: Google + Davinci Code prizes 50 words is too few... :( Here's what I wrote: Genealogy charts have surfaced which suggest that the world's elite athletes, spiritual leaders and masters of the arts and sciences are all genetically linked. The true extent of the Merovingian dynasty is...

You could try writing to Professor Robert King, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). But I wouldn't be surprised if he says no and asks you to submit a formal FOI application instead. It really depends on who you ask... bureaucracies are riddled with inconsistencies... sometimes you get lucky.

The attached PDF sets out the grade distributions for all UNSW courses taken by law students in Session 2 of 2005. For those courses that have two rows of statistics, I believe the top row is the distribution for all students, and the bottom row is the distribution for law students. If a...

It's there to encourage forum participation... and you remove it by participating. :)

I haven't even heard the end of that quote myself... :cool:

Is this perhaps a prime example... ? It's very easy to say that they're "just words on a screen" and that you shouldn't take offence. But how often do people actually have a choice in the matter? You're either offended, or you're not. If you're offended, the damage has been done. Even if you...

Hi all - I'd very much appreciate your comments and feedback on the following and whether bullying is prevalent in these forums (and if so, to what extent).

I am... but no, I don't really think it's worth it.

Just email it to your lecturer and apologise for the small error. So long as you footnoted everything he or she will know it's all authentic and you won't have to worry. Certainly not a guaranteed fail.

They're being added progressively. If you'd like your courses to be prioritised, email premium [at] boredofstudies.org from the address associated with your premium account, and we'll see what we can do. :)

It was to point out that for the purposes of the moderating procedures that are applied to your marks, you'll benefit more by being ranked second than by being ranked third? Not to point out that second is simply a better rank than third, which is obvious.

The closer you are to #1, the better off you will be. Whilst being ranked first is always the best, second is still better than third, etc...

Yes, absolutely. :)

Currently it's the baby blue colour... but we might change it periodically, etc. You never know. Could probably even let premium members vote for what they want.

There are different usergroups; e.g. "Registered Users", "Administrators", "Premium Members". If you're a member of more than one group, you get to choose which one governs the appearance of your profile.

Currently, no. However we are investigating the possibility of a direct debit or NetBank transfer option and will know whether this is feasible early next week. The only information that SAM used to provide to non-premium members and which it no longer provides to those members is the state...

What about at x = 0?

You may see some official Bored of Studies podcasts appearing in the very near future. :)

It is possible that their avatars are no longer available. Without an example post, I'm unable to suggest any other reasons.

Just so you know, I think the problem was this line: while (endingInteger >= 1) 'endingInteger' never changes, so if it enters the loop, it's always going to be greater than or equal to 1. You do have a 'break' statement at one point, but it's nested in yet another loop, so it will only...
