    500 - Internal Server Error

    I'm getting exactly the same thing with that server error. In fact, tonight's the first night BOS has worked for me in several days. The speed is reminding me of the days of dial up :vcross:.

    you are at uni and where?

    You know, this would be a good thread for people playing CSE murder ;)

    Hacks for Mac?

    One of these will help:

    Hacks for Mac?

    Do all that ^^ . Also try osascript -e 'set volume 7'; say "You are a fool"

    What car will you get as your first car?

    Yeah, that'd work fine, but I just like the idea of BMW, or some other more prestigious brand :p. I know a Ford would do driving around as well as anything else (and be cheaper to get parts for etc), but they just seem so common...

    What car will you get as your first car?

    We counting only registered cars here? If not, my first car is a 1967 SIIA Landrover, and my second is a 1957 SI Landrover. Haven't gotten anything yet that the RTA would consider roadworthy though :mad1:. Keeping an eye out for cheap old BMWs or something (seeing as two of my criteria for cars...

    Post your desktop screenshot.

    Wow, didn't expect to see this thread come back again. Oh well, I've changed my desktop since last time, so here it is:

    Faking Your 120 log book hours

    I just rounded my times up to the nearest 15 min, (for example, I'd write an hour down if I'd been driving for between 45-60 min). The trip I did the most was the 55 min into town, so it wasn't faking it overly. All the entries I put it are times I actually drove though, didn't just make up...

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Haha, I saw those chairs out there. First thought was 'WTF are those chairs there'. Second thought was 'I wonder how fast they would go down that hill' :tongue: . Didn't try it though, too lazy to take one up to the top.

    Holy Mother Of All Internet Browsers

    Well, I use both Safari and Firefox, but Safari wins out most of the time because it's a split second second or so faster than Firefox :tongue:. Use firefox whenever I want it's added functionality, such as easy downloading of videos from youtube. Safari does use a fair bit of memory though...

    converting laptop from vista to xp.

    Internet Explorer uses Harden! It's not very effective...

    general UNSW chit-chat

    haha, I was just coming on to ask that. That street in front of the Lowy building has been blocked off and everything.

    counting characters

    Yeah, that's pretty much what my tutor said. Suppose there could be a bit of an advantage in knowing how to use the basic commands though, in that you get a little more insight into how to use C. Helpful for people who've never programmed before, or people (like me) who haven't programmed in C...

    Anyone here a Mac user?

    I like the cse labs at UNSW, imacs running Linux (Debian, I think). And the macs in the first year physics labs :) . Think the maths labs are supposed to have some Windows machines as well as Linux, but haven't bothered to check them out yet.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Uniwide doesn't seem bad when it works (well, for free internet I'm prepared to put up with a fair bit), but I've found so far that it quite often will drop out for several minutes. Funny thing is when you see it happen to someone else, and they spend the next 10 min changing settings trying to...

    What you would LOVE UNSW to have

    I think a bigger, faster version of those moving walkways you see at airports, following the major pathways around the uni (converting to escalators when coming to the big stairways). Either that or a tram sort of thing. Save a fair bit of walking.

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Some car drove into a motorbike. Surprisingly, the motorbike didn't look that damaged , while the front of the car was crushed in a fair way. Ambulance people had the rider on a stretcher and seemed to be pretty busy though, so he/she probably got hurt fairly badly.

    importing images into imovie HD

    Just tried it myself, no distortion happening. However, the blurriness you describe could just be the effect of the picture being at a much lower resolution than when you look at it normally (imovie outputs as SD on default settings, so the pictures are scaled to fit 640x480). If that's the case...

    Internet usage

    I'm pretty sure that you can download ubuntu (and other distros as well) from the cse mirror without it being counted as cse quota. Might be the same for uniwide too, as it's still internal uni traffic. Don't quote me on that though, haven't had a chance to try it yet.
