far out uni text books are expensive. $180 just for one book for one of my subjects, bet we will hardly use it as well.

 

Pretty much bro. You're better off getting a tablet/ipad and downloading or buying the ebooks, it's cheaper in the long run.

Good afternoon everyone. Finished TAFE at 2:30 PM today. Cheering.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss Nik. Sucks man.

 

This is epic:

The GoPro app on my phone makes this so worth it.

I just need a suction cup now.

ive already got an ipad, may be a good path to go down? where can i get e copies of them?

 

my cousin and a close friend have just finished similar/the same course, so said they would give me text books if i wanted them and if they are still applicable.

Usually the publishers of the text books will have them available on their sites. Or you could possibly download an app called iTunes U (or even iBooks). It gives you access to complete courses from leading universities and other schools, plus the world's largest digital catalog of free education content. Or so that's what the description states.

Just look the books up you need on the net. Sometimes they have a website or Amazon might have them or you may find a torrent, if you're lucky.

 

That's also good, but double check, as the revise the books every few years.

Also what Gary said works.

ill check it out. i know they revise them fairly regularly, and as soon as they do they tell you you need the latest revision, hopefully some will still be in date to save me a few $$$

 

i will have a look around tonight and see if i can find them elsewhere on the net cheaper, fingers crossed i may find something. worst case is i buy em and write them off as a tax expense

How good is it!!??

LOLWUT. 

 

I think the S4s internal data monitor is off. 

 

I have used 102mb in data today. I then went in and played about 10 seconds of a HD Youtube video. Paused it, went out

 

112mb. I'm pretty fuckin' sure it doesn't take 10mb of data to load a Youtube movie, does it?

 

Regardless, I've switched 4G off now. I done the same test with 4G, and it chewed 26mb of data.

So farking bored right now.

Yeah I assumed so. Spewing. What about iBooks? No luck there either? Have you asked the actual university whether they have any of their textbooks online at all?

[nickknack]

That doesn't sound right shaz. My HTC one would only use like 100mb of background data p/month at the most, a YouTube video should be a couple of mb max.

[Hypnotic]

Why can't it be 5:30pm already!!!!!

[B4TT]

Because my finish time is 4:30.

Shuddup goldiejosh!

Apart from those that don't have a job at the moment or have had a day off for whatever reason, I beat you all.

[skillionaire]

You beat off to what?

[B4TT]

How about money to time spent working ratio.....

Oh wait.. Council worker.

[Liberty]

I get paid to do nowhere near as much work as another person in the construction/maintenance industry. Care factor?

 

In saying that though, I do do work. It just depends on the crew you're with. Some are forking lazy bastards, others like getting work done quickly. I also had TAFE today. Got there at 9:30 AM, finished at 2:30 PM. Get paid as if I started work at 6:50 AM and finished at 3:30 PM. Cheering.
