  • Our school is giving us laptops next year, and i have been wanting to buy an MBP for a year now :( ?

    I am in year 10, and my school has ordered some HP pro books for us Grade 10s - 12s. What sucks is that since the beginning of this year, i have been wanting an MBP very badly. After getting good grades all year, i am finally allowed to get one, but I don't think i should. I want the macbook for video editting and maybe some sound editting, however i am not too sure, i think i should just wait until UNIVERSITY/ Whatever i am going to do later on.... :( I don't know what to do. It's just that i have really wanted one, and need it to last at least 4 years. Is the MBP capable of that? Should i just save my parents the money and not get it, even though i have been waiting since February? I have no idea. And also should I just get a normal PC instead, or live without a laptop. I don't want to waste money, and i also want to know if the MBP's are a waste. :'(

    THANKS

  • Help me!!Debating tommorow?

    Spending money on smoking ads is a necessity, especially in today’s society where cigarettes are sold regularly to a variety of audiences, whether it is teenagers purchasing ciggies illegally to impress their mates, or adults who cannot seem to grow out of their intensifying nicotine addiction.

    Assalamualaikum 10G, 9G & respected elders

    It is the responsibility of the government to implement advertising strategies to further decrease the chances of people falling into the hands of cigarette addiction, and then suffering its malicious consequences. Advertising techniques have been proven by psychologists to affect various parts of the mind, thus changing the viewer’s perspective on the article being advertised. Spending money on anti smoking campaigns is not, and I repeat, is NOT a waste of money. This statement is totally irrefutable, and in just a few short moments I will tell you why.

    First of all, as my peers have already pointed out, smoking ads display graphic images which have the potential to build a sense of disgust in viewers towards smoking, increasing their chances of avoiding the drug, or quitting it all together. Ads as such only aspire to benefit society, create awareness, and drive the audience to their resolve.

    does it make sense?

  • Science Project - My experiment.. need some help here ?

    Coal, gas, and oil are energy resources that are not renewable, meaning that once we use up the world's supply of these natural resources there will not be any left. There is a lot of debate about how long these resources will last. One way to ensure that we will not find ourselves in an energy crisis is to develop energy resources that are renewable. Renewable energy is a resource that cannot be used up. Investigate the many uses of renewable energy: solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectricity, ethanol, etc. How much energy does a solar cell produce? Can you build a wind vane? Try inventing new energy free devices using gyroscopes or cranks, like the popular beach hand crank radio. Try making your own biodiesel. What ideas do you have? (NREL, 2006)

    Okay so how do i create a hypothesis for this :S

    i need some help here ! thankss
