In what way has it helped having a touch screen? As a recent user of Windows 8.1 with a touch screen tablet, I don't find it particularly useful as most of the applications (Office included) just weren't designed for a touch screen interface making them clumsy to use.

For the guys who use Surface Pro's in a learning/work environment (i.e. not gaming), what do you actually use it for which could not have been achieved on other devices which might've been lighter/more portable/etc?

Surface Pro 3 sounds like overkill lol.\ My BYOD during high school was a nice chunky Dell Inspiron 8600 with a nice big screen and music playback keys on the side. In uni it was a Dell Mini 7 with 3G (yes I'm from the netbook era) and then when the 11" Macbook Air came out I got one of those...

A song doesn't have to have a chorus- a chorus is just a part of a song which is repeated.

I found what he wrote really genuine and something which many people can probably relate to either in the present world, or reflecting on those around them when they grew up (which is how I took this in). It's saddening given how articulate and sensitive he clearly is, but alas, without going...

are they at least paying you as per the award (and you're getting any other entitlements/benefits stipulated)? i'm not very knowledgeable in this field at all but the key thing is to make sure you have accurate records retained.

I'm currently reading a book called "Without You, There is no Us" which is quite interesting - basically a journal of someone who went to teach English in North Korea and what they observed. Inspired me to consider North Korea just to see.

I tried the Surface Pro 3 both in stores and in one which my firm had adapted for enterprise use and truth be told, it didn't really amaze me. It still felt very much like a laptop which you sit at a desk and use with an external monitor. Yes you could undock it and use it as a portable device...

Dedicated. I never really complete games 100% (sorry developers) and particularly for racing games, it's usually about me 'owning' all the cars I like and leaving it at that lol. May not complete all the tournaments/championships/etc as long as I can drive/modify/pay with the toys I want lol.

No time :( was working and studying full time simultaneously (hence how I afforded to buy the Evo 10 brand new in cash)... And when I finished studying, my hours at work soared. Track was always lots of fun but it's a write off of multiple days. Usually go on weekday when less crowded and you...

Uber comprehensive there! I don't think I spent as long as you did on this subject - but I enjoyed IPT as it felt relaxing to study something where I cared about the content. The other thing with IPT was don't let other people particularly on BoS make you feel nervous about your performance or...

Haha I remember SOF... long long time ago. I think at some point I moved away from FPS and preferred RTS. Only now am I getting back into it- started playing Destiny on PS4 last night!

UT runs surprisingly well- I set min framerate at 60 and it looks like it's keeping up. Pity the tablet itself doesn't seem that reliable with the factory BIOS. There's some lists online of what games work well/don't work well with the TA100 and some even have videos- I looked at UT 2004 and...

Back to back tutorials can be hard if you have to do a presentation or something, but reality is, this is unlikely to happen more than once or twice in a semester. There's also nothing stopping you from asking your tutor (who probably takes multiple sessions of the same tutorials) if you can...

There seem to be sales on Wii U every other week but I have to admit, it doesn't look like the console will turnaround to be the big hit Nintendo was hoping it would be. I still like Mario Kart on it though :D

Yes unreal tournament (aka UT99). TO keep things fast/quick, it was always CTF, Instagib, and we'd be a team against a team of bots with at least 50% more bots lol. I was even inspired to buy it again on GOG (even though I bought the GOTY edition on CD too back in the day) to play it on my new...

I never really wrote notes or anything because I had a personal interest in the topics but the key thing is to just do the exercises properly during the year (ie. in class/homework/etc just make sure you're answering the questions). Always try to link through to modern/practical examples even if...

That's pretty good money. And you only just finished your HSC last year so you'd be under 20? (haha when I was your age I was on about $100/day for full time work)

This made me chuckle. I agree with your two observations on logic errors, and I liked you bringing in the analogy to european options, but there are a few things you don't take into account in your analysis: 1. Whilst the options themselves may have an intrinsic value (assuming they yield some...

I just bought a cheap Asus T100TA last weekend for fun and I think in Metro mode Windows 8.1 does pretty well (the slide in of charms bar isn't that great but it's better than when I had Windows 8 on a non touch screen desktop PC)... but in Desktop mode where you have normal interface controls...
