Sounds like a trick question, 50% is the answer. Statistically when preganacy happens, the ratio of boy to girl is 125 to 100, however boys tend to figure higher in abortion rate and die in a higher ratio after birth. I can not remember the exact age, but after a couple of years after birth the rati...

it is however good for amusement sake, also one of the best place to get latest updates on EQ, if you can wade pass all the useless posts.

Also shot me if you want, despite being a bunch evil, self centered bunch, the SK forum, evilgamer is pretty decent information and discussion wise.

They really should just cut the damn income tax rate instead of handouts. Handouts are easy for government to do but less beneficial in the long term. I spend fair bit of money fixing up my house even I am not in Australia yet, so family can be ready to move back in. So I can say I did my bits for t...

It is ok until Fed Reserve run out of money and things still don't seem to improve, some pretty bad things can happen after that.

The amount of debts Australia carries also is pretty significant, this can cause some issues down the road.

This is the time foreign reserve actually is handy. China has 2 trillion US dollar worth of it, in addition to that Chinese financial institutions are less exposed to sub-prime compare to most of western country's, they are a decent position. The key question is what to do with all those money. I gu...

They could make money out of it, but could stand to lose a lot of it as well. US government already brought almost 300 billion worth of bad mortgage from various of banks, currently the value is only 30 to 50 percent of what when they originally purchased. The big talk now is if US Fed reserve will ...

The Herald understands the Government is planning to double the first homeowners grant from $7000 to $14,000 to invigorate the housing market which is slowing.

I am glad that I picked up a house already and had the mortgage under a reasonable amount by this stage.

Having a place is more about freedom and enjoyment rather than increase in value, well that helps as well. The house will be handy whn I expand the family :)

If you got money to burn and a good video card, 20 inch wide LCD is a good option. In Aussie land you can pick that up for less than 500 dollar. I recently picked up a 19 inch Benq FP91G+ LCD for 305 aussie dollar. 8ms is fast enough for all the games, your eyes won't tell the difference if it is an...
