Buyers remorse after buying computer?

I don't know the intricacies of funding to the SLC, but since they charge a positive nominal interest rate, I would assume they are making money.

Did you attend/pass a degree course? :)

Yes = I benefited from taxpayer funding meaning I am a hypocrite

No = I am jealous of those 'more intelligent' than me

Right? ;)
 
I agree with you that people don't need degrees such as media/colouring in/how to operate a video camera etc, but surely you can't be arguing that the more vocational degrees such as medicine and engineering are not required by society?

They are very much required. I just don't think the taxpayer needs to fund them, especially funding people who failed their A levels :) The US doesn't do this and I don't see them having any shortage of degree educated doctors etc.

It might not have been, but I think it was.

It genuinely wasn't, was going to ask if you attended university in London. The loans really aren't as bad as you make out, mine doesn't even cover my rent.

I think there are greater wasters of money than in our educational institutions and the pursuit of higher education.

(I begrudgingly include the soft subjects in this pursuit, no matter how useless and unproductive they are)
 
As said above this would cause a huge imbalance in society between the rich and poor - universities and companies have to at least break even, scholarships can't be passed out in mass quantities!

It's not as though it allows students to develop coke habits, it covers the basics of living and allows people to concentrate on their studies, no?

Not really, no. My brother and sister both had a considerable amount of money left over from their loans each time they got paid. They spent it on going out/gadgets and in my sisters case, a car she didn't need and couldn't use.

I'd argue the case is the same for the vast majority of students, unless they're at a ridiculous expensive uni, in which case they probably will need a job to top up their financial situation.

Swap it with me for my ipod touch and netbook. Then you will be cool sat in starbucks AND pull way more chicks than ever. After all, no chick is going to come back to yours just to checkout your i7 and trichannel DDR3 memory.

:confused: The girls love my solid state drive and enjoy taking my it in each of their triple channels. When I overclock it, well, the temperatures are astounding, so I have to water cool it. My 3.5" floppy is so outdated, so I scrapped that and I now keep a hard drive permanently.
 
Only thing I regretted buying was Vista. After I had bought it, whilst waiting for it to arrive, I tried it on my friends machine and thought it was absolute ****. Sold it for half the price I bought it for :(
 
you could do 2 things sell it make a loss and buy a lesser system, pocket yourself £100 return.
or keep it, and stop whining, when you have a system that will be good for 2 or more years.
 
Spent over £700 on a FX-60 CPU when i really didn't need it, and they weren't all that fast anyway. Impulse purchase, without doing research.

2 months later, the Intel Conroe came out, was faster and you could then buy FX-60's for around £300 iirc.

whoops.
 
I think just about everyone has suffered buyer's remorse after purchasing something (normally technology related), but I think it's basic douche-baggery to start faffing around returning stuff because you suddenly decided "hey, you know....I don't really need/want that now". Suck it up and get gaming.
