Vista
So yes, Microsoft has successfully brainwashed me, and I think Windows Vista is cool.
Grossly overpriced and too many options (4 versions) but the OS is nice and simple, easy to use, intuitive, fast and sexy. Kinda like mac os X leopard.
These shots just show off the pretty stuff available in windows vista home premium, business and ultimate. Some of it is available in windows basic - but the flip-3Dtm and transparency/glass is a part of windows AeroTm, which doesn't come in basic.
If you intend to purchase it from a shop, ask me which shops :)

funding
Why is there so little funding for phd students in research nowadays? More and more people wanting to go into research, especially fields like science, yet there are less scholarships available. Last statistic I checked an average research-based phd at UQ was 3 yrs 11 months. The australian gov't gives you 3 yrs worth of funding, with a possible 6 month extension (less extensions available then total number of scholarships). How does this work? why are most people screwed for the finale of their phd?
You of course can't get the 'newstart' allowance/dole being a full-time student, and can't get the youth allowance scheme as it is a post-graduate course.
It doesn't add up.
The government is also supposedly pumping all this money into science; well, not really. A lot of it is re-arranging funding, backing large inter-centre grants and placing most emphasis on outcome-based (translational) research.How are you suppose to achieve a safe, reliable outcome without the basic science underneath. They are trying to push a fast result, quick drugs, vaccines etc. Personally I'd like it to be proven safe and have a known mechanism before it reaches trials. If it doesn't, then that's how the UK scandal happens http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4807042.stm
anyway, don't really know why I am ranting.. just felt like it.
scanning plates is not fun!
