    Wifi and A Macbook laptop

    Actually, my mistake. You really do need to buy one of these to get your wifi working: :p

    Wifi and A Macbook laptop

    It'll work exactly the same on your current setup as any other laptop would, assuming that the modem has a web interface. All macbooks have wifi connections (nice version n ones unless you get a really old one:spin:), even if Apple attempted to make things less complicated by calling the wifi...

    Speed & Stall Pass Test in QLD

    It does seem rather excessive when you think about it. Maybe 1 stall, or perhaps 2 if you're really unlucky, but anything more than that is approaching incompetence. I have to admit I have stalled a car 3 times in a row once though (I was trying to move a clapped out sierra, eventually found...

    Review: Dell 15R or Dell Adamo

    Yeah, I'm going to say get the 15R as well. The slow speed and low RAM of the adamo will eventually make you hate yourself for buying one, particularly if you intend to keep it for a few years. Hardware requirements of programs/operating systems aren't suddenly going to start dropping (or even...

    working proxy sites

    Well, I know they could last year. That was one of the reasons I practically never used my own account. Maybe they changed so nobody could access it :( Oh well, uniwide is so much better than any DET network. It may be unreliable and have unpredictable speed, but at least they don't block...

    iPad.

    Well, having just been playing with an ipad, I can see why you would get one for reading stuff on. Pretty much the right size for it, and decent resolution. Also good to browse the internet on while lying around. That said, I still won't be buying one. If it was around the $200-$300 mark I...

    working proxy sites

    From my memory, that was student accounts only. Find a teacher who'll let you use your account :pirate: and use that instead. Blocked sites are still blocked 95% of the time unfortunately, though youtube was allowed while it was blocked for students (not sure if it still is).

    How easy is it to fail the driving test?

    Here's my tip for you then: Remember that you have to stop at stop signs (like come to a complete halt) even if there's no other traffic around. Pretty sure it's instant fail if you don't... I basically went around town really slowly and made it obvious I was looking for dangers/checking...

    If you had ~$3K to spend...

    Well, it would be 169.8kg (plus the weight of the case etc), given wikipedia's weight for the 5 cent coin :p

    I would put 60 thousand 5 cent coins in it.

    Bludge subjects

    IPT was a good bludge subject. Basically the work was stuff like using excel/powerpoint/dreamweaver along with some idiocy about human relations to IT, so I played Halo against the other guys in the class during lessons (most of the time, had to do work every 3rd class or so :p). Didn't go too...
