    Laptop Help

    hmm, yeah my old laptop is a toshiba and they are great. i use a dell laptop at work and no problems in 2+ years. before that i used a dell superduper desktop and toshiba laptop. i went HP this time around because i'd heard that their reputation is getting better, plus it had all the bells and whistles i wanted in a very light package, and the price was so cheap. comparable toshibas were way out of my price range. so i hope the new HP it stands the test of time. only time will tell i guess.

    i got a great one a few weeks ago at bestbuy, it was $649 on sale marked down from $799. HP was the brand. you might still be able to catch the back to school sales. also, there are regularly good deals on redflagdeals.com - lots of computer deals.
  8. i'm trying to find the actual document now...
  9. that's fucking insane post that on the facebook group
  10. we have 2 hot new chicks, so just take out the old and the ugly. standard operation procedure, really.
  11. i know (at least i think i know) for Australia you can't renew your drivers licence if there is a record of you not voting. kind of like how here you can't renew your licence if you have outstanding tickets or fines. there are probably other ways to 'enforce' for those that don't drive.
  12. would it be compulsory to vote in the referendum?
  13. it's an interesting topic, and one I haven't fully thought about. For now I'll just disagree with you on everything Some stuff from Wikipedia (search for Compulsory Voting). Interesting comments there about how it can infringe on religious rights, etc. There are currently 32 countries with compulsory voting. Of these, 19 enforce it. Of the 30 member states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 10 have forms of compulsory voting.[2] Countries that enforce compulsory voting: * Argentina (compulsory for citizens between 18 and 70 years old, non-compulsory for those older than 70) * Australia (compulsory enrolment and voting for both state* and national elections) * Belgium * Brazil (non-compulsory for citizens between 16 and 18 years old and those older than 70; military conscripts cannot vote) * Chile (enrolment voluntary) * Cyprus * Democratic Republic of the Congo * Ecuador (compulsory for citizens between 18 and 64 years old, non-compulsory for those older than 65) * Fiji * Lebanon (compulsory for men older than 21) * Liechtenstein * Nauru * Peru (compulsory for citizens between 18 and 70 years old, non-compulsory for those older than 70) * Singapore * Switzerland (compulsory in the Canton of Schaffhausen only) * Turkey * Uruguay *In South Australia it is not compulsory to enroll for state elections.[3][4][5] Nevertheless, as the enrollment form is a combined Federal and State one, with no provision to not enroll for the State,[3] it is compulsory in effect. Countries that do not enforce compulsory voting: * Bolivia * Costa Rica * Dominican Republic (members of the military and national police cannot vote) * Egypt (men only) * El Salvador * France (Senate elections only) * Gabon * Greece * Guatemala (military personnel cannot vote) * Honduras * India * Italy * Luxembourg * Mexico * Panama * Paraguay (compulsory for citizens between 18 and 75 years old, non-compulsory for those older than 75) * Philippines * Thailand * Venezuela
  14. $279 for a full-price night pass at Fortune is highway robbery, fucking insane. $99 is the normal price for a night pass at Edelweiss which is a better hill and not as busy. Even a full pass at Edelweiss is $239 until the 28th or $299 afterwards, and the privileges are greater than those offered by Fortune (more discounts at more hills). Nights at Edelweiss begin at 3pm, whereas the nights at Fortune begin at 5pm. If you like Fortune you’d best get in on this early-bird offer, otherwise you’re going to get ripped off huge. Or just go to Edelweiss!
