Rabbit R

Two questions not answered on the Citizens information website:

1. Is it possible to draw this allowance when studying abroad

2. Under what circumstances is the allowance available to someone who already has a degree and is returning to college but 5 years has not passed since the completion of their last degree.

(If you're curious my last degree was in art and I want a real one now, it would be cheaper to do this abroad)

Is there something most adjectives / most verbs have in common? Is there a way to tell them apart in the sentence?

I'll be 25 by the time I'm going back, I graduated from college at 21.

I'd like to start from scratch and do a completely different degree.

So far I've found this information on the Back-to-education grant:

"If you already have an undergraduate third-level qualification, (i.e., you already have a degree) your application for a Back to Education Allowance may still be considered. You should get in touch directly with the Back to Education Allowance Section at the Department of Social and Family Affairs."

*When they say you MAY be considered, in what kinds of situation might you be considered? My first degree I did because I loved but it will never get me a job in a million years.

"If you wish to attend a second level course you must be getting one of the social welfare payments listed below for at least 6 months immediately before you start the course (3 months if you are a jobseeker and out of the formal education system for at least 2 years)."

*That's not a problem considering how things are right now.

What about tuition fees? I didn't have to pay them the first time round, and the (student maintenance) grant covered registration, would I have to pay them this time?

10 Year old computer, 12GB, (2 free) 192mb of ram, intel Pentium 3 processor.

Logically comodo might be the best as it saves me having a separate firewall program. What do you think?

If you don't know the answer could you at least tell me how much ram the anti-virus you're using right now is taking up?

I was recently reading an old book ( http://www.archive.org/stream/physicsforentert0354... ) where on page 109 he talks about how you should put a tea spoon in a cup before pouring in boiling water to stop it from cracking, and why this works. I understand why it helped, but what I don't understand is why it is no longer necessary, what are they doing in glass/ceramics now that makes the cups more durable than before?

Where can I download it from (direct link please), and what is the name of the setup file it downloads as / are there any specific instructions as to how to set it up

Thank you.

I know you can get an emergency one-trip passport to get home to Ireland if you loose your passport abroad, but is it possible to get one to get out of Ireland?

I have a job waiting for me in the Czech Republic and flights booked, and now suddenly I can't find my passport. Plane leaves Friday morning. Any advice?

And an Intel Pentium 3 processor, and what will it work like? Will it be very slow? Will it be even slower because I intend to dual-boot it with Windows XP?

The computer is working alright now with just XP, which I guess is a small miracle considering it's 10 years old, but it takes a long time to start up and it often gets upset if I do too much. I've already taken many many steps to improve its performance, could Xubuntu be the key?

I have a pretty old computer (10 year old IBM Aptiva) and at the moment i'm using firefox 2 on it. Any suggestions as to whether there is a faster alternative?

So at the moment I guess you could call me a hyper somniac, sleeping 10 hours a night most nights and maybe 15 at the weekend. But my days are of course very short. So I noticed recently that as i've been staying up for two days and sleeping in 12 hour bursts the days finally feel as long as I did when I was a child and I can get a lot more done.

I don't really care about the short term consequences I just want to be sure this life style couldn't potentially cause problems in the long term?

To anyone who says there is only one and that is Jesus I say this: Christ has died, Christ has risen, and Christ will come again.

But your limit is one suit case!

Best answer will either have mentioned something essential that I wouldn't have thought of, or been really funny.

That R sound is a problem for another day,it's the little bit above it.. what's it called in Czech and is there a way to make it on a standard English keyboard.

(I copied and pasted for the title)

Do they only go over consonants?

Also the á é í ó ú, I know they're made using the alt gr, but what are they called? We have them in Irish (Gaelic) as well, we call them "Fada" (s) which literally means "long" because generally they lengthen a letter.

Trebic, to be precise, I'll appreciate any information from anyone who has been there, especially if you've lived there.
