Advise on buying the MBP 13inch?
Advise on buying the MBP 13inch?
Hello all! I am currently in hongkong for a vacation, I am a highschool student back in Manila,Philippines. My dilemma now is to whether to push through with my purchase of the MBP 13 inch here in hongkong (it saves me around $300) when I buy it here rather than back at home. Can anyone please give me advise on this? What are the weaknesses of the 2010 MBP 13? Is their any reports on a Logic board problem? I used to have an iBook, but it's logic board gave up on me last year, I really am a big gran of apple products, but if I see that the MBP is not a good buy, and would only cause me more headaches, I'd Find an alternative brand Please help!!! Thanks

What do you think of the recent uproar in Hong Kong about classifying the bible as "indecent"?
What do you think of the recent uproar in Hong Kong about classifying the bible as "indecent"?
"...residents have called on authorities to reclassify the Bible as "indecent" due to its sexual and violent content, following an uproar over a sex column in a university student journal." http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070516/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_hongkong_bible_indecent I personally think it's hilarious!

hey it's only fair. if it was any book other than the bible that contained all the killing and sex and whatnot, it would be banned in a heartbeat.
2 :
sounds about right.
3 :
it is indecent. and it's christians who push decency laws
4 :
Hmmm... gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Bible-thumping", doesn't it? Actually, never mind--that's not an image I'd prefer to have in my mind the rest of the day...
5 :
I think you're about 4-5 weeks behind the times (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration there, but not by much, if at all).
6 :
That is just GREAT!!!! Finally someone banned them. Maybe we can get a good book burning going!! lol
7 :
good it will stop the christians from speading there fairy tale lies and stop them from brainwashing that country
8 :
Yeah it is fair. It is an evil book and it should not be protected because it is religious.
9 :
Well, it's definitely the most profane book anywhere near my house. It's got more killing than all of my horror flicks combined, and more sex than all of my wife's chick flicks too. Not regular sex... nasty, get down with your sleeping relative sex. Sex with your neighbors wife. Sex with brothers and sisters, brother's wives, and virgins that you took prisoner and made into servants/slaves. I haven't even gotten to that Jesus fella telling you to take up a sword for him, cut off your own body parts, and hate everyone and everything on earth. This is easily the most disgusting book anyone has ever brought home and shared with their family.

If Hollywood made a movie based on the bible today, it would seriously get an NC-17. They'd get Eli Roth, Takashi Miike or Wes Craven to direct it. Seriously!
11 :
The Bible does mention many incidents of sin in it's pages. It was given to show man the error of his ways and the price for making those errors. It's purpose was to enlighten, however, not be indecent, and therein is the difference.
12 :
I seriously hope that they succeed, and jail the priests as purveyors of smut.
13 :
China is thinking of banning Christians from the Olympics. They do not like the criticism of limiting people to only 1 child and aborting the rest so they are putting priests and Bishops in prison faster than anything. They are afraid people will protest in the streets.

Which university is the best to study?(Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne)
Which university is the best to study?(Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne)
I got offers of 3 universities. *University of Queensland (Brisbane) #33 of the world in 2007. Master of Commerce in Applied Finance *University of Technology Sydney (Sydney) #87 of the world in 2005. Master of Business in Finance *La Trobe University (Melbourne) #98 of the world in 2005. Master of Financial Analysis (CFA partner) I will do a postgraduate coursework in finance and I would like to know which university and city is the best to study in terms of the culture of the university, night life in the city, international students, the people of the city, the chance of finding good accommodation, good transportation, cost of transportation for a international student, finding a job in the finance world. Weather and beaches are not really important. I have to live for 1.5 years in the city. Universities are equal in Australia to get a job I heard. But what if I want to work in Hongkong, Singapore, Europe or USA. Is the ranking important to find a job in Australia and somewhere else?

The 3 uni's that u have selected are one among the good uni's in Australia. No doubt about that. But rather than selecting the uni, you should focus more on the course structure. Make sure that the course structure is good cos that is really more important than the uni. Say for example, UQ is a good uni in brisbane and it is also in G8. Anything to study in bio-tech, UQ is the best. But when it comes to IT, the course that QUT offers is better than the one in UQ. So give more importance to the course. Regarding the life, accommodation and transportation, u need not worry cos u have selected the three major cities in Australia. These are the best in terms of services. So u need not really worry about tat. Ranking is not important to find a job. How did u do in ur uni, ur resume and the way u answer the questions are important to get a job. So u need not worry about tat as well.

well, first of all u should know a little about the cultures in china and a little of the language. i have a foriegn exchange student from germany at my high school and he's a junior. he's very popular(only cause he's from germany), but ifeel the experience would be great for you. just not right now. you should try your softmore year when you've gotten the hang of high school.
2 :
More commonly students (from what I've researched for foreign exchange programs myself), students should usually be around the 15-18 year old range. Program prices? You'll have to consider what it covers.

While you may not like the answer to this, the fact is that no reputable company certified to operate in the US will send you at age 14. The youngest you can go is 15 AND you have to have some high school. Besides, you are most likely not mature enough at your age, whether you believe it or not. However, you CAN take the next couple of years to truly prepare yourself to go. First, it's expensive! You will need to find a way to pay for it. You will also need to find a quality program. You can find a list of all those certified to operate in the U.S. at www.csiet.org. You should also ask your HIGH SCHOOL counselor for recommendations as an organization is only as good as its local representatives. Rotary is generally the cheapest, but most competitive. AFS, Aspect, 4-H, and YFU can also be quality programs. The best time to go is your junior year. You will have the maturity you need and have the ability to arrange your credits so you have what you need. Your counselor should work with you on this -- you may have to double up on a class or two. It would also enable you to enjoy your senior year with your friends and graduate with your class. For lots of information on being an exchange student, go to http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ It's a comprehensive site written by exchange students for exchange students. If you ask them, however, I'm sure THEY will also tell you that 14 is too young. I'm sorry if you don't like hearing that, but one of the things you must learn in life is that people with experience often really DO know what they are talking about and a sign of maturity is accepting that.

Go to www.ciee.org and check out their programs for studying abroad. Most of the time, you have to know a foreign language in order to go to that country. I have hosted foreign students through CIEE and they are a good program to work with.
