Education fees

Sample image

Most of international students must pay the whole amount of their education fees on their COE. So, you must know that if you dont have an Australian passport you're going to pay more.
 

Transportation

Sample image

Using a train or a bus in Australia will cost you more, because you are not eligable to get a student ticket even if you are a student in Australia. So, do not get yourself in trouble with police. Simply, pay 2 times more than any Australian student or try to walk.
 

Better place to live

Sample imageBecause of the terrible impact of the global recession, rents in Australia have recorded their highest incerease since 1988. Oh do you like that?

Selling dreams for better future PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 09 July 2009 21:57

 

 

It is hard to accept that I am grown, and I have to decide now what I will do in future. Every time when I think about it something in my mind focuses other unimportant things such as past events and my old university. I believe it is some sort of a self escape mechanism of my mind. At this stage, any wrong decision can ruin my life. I do not afraid to take a decision, but the consequences will be a heavy burden which I have to carry them all of my life.

I had what I wanted from the material world until this time that my family could offer. However, now what I see is a man falling from the sky without a parachute, and worstly without a penny. I remember my past in these days often that reminds me I left most of important decisions about my life to my family, because I was always extremely confident that the decisions which will be taken by my family will not hurt me. Now, I am in Australia, and I am pretty far away from my friends and people who can help me a little bit.

Anyway, I had some dreams about being a genetic engineer. First, I learnt that in my country there is no job for a genetic engineer and secondly what I wanted to do is actually illegal. And lastly, my country's university system did not allow me to be a genetic engineer.  I said to myself all rite Aether be something else then. But what? My teachers said me dozens of time - Aether you can be a lawyer, or a journalist, because you can write and speak really well. I wrote lots of things about what I see, and unfortunately many people got really angry about my articles. Lots of my friends strongly suggested me to stop writing especially about our own country, and super duper powers of the world. Anyway, my web pages always kept blocked by my government so not many people could read my articles. 

I'm 24 now, left my university a few years ago to find a better one, and I have found a good uni this time in Australia. The problem is I have already sold my future dreams. Maybe my mind just wants to show me the old Aether, and in order to do that it keeps flooding me with unnecessary things until I take the right decision. However, I mentioned previously that I'm leaving my family (falling from the sky) forever and most of luxuries which I enjoyed will not be available for me very, very long time. I really love children and I want to have my own children after I have a job and a stable income. I have finished first year of commerce, and I need to choose a degree that may help me to ease my life. Even being an accountant is not really looking bad in these days.

 

Aether.

Thursday, 09 July 2009 21:45

Birincisi ne icin geldiginizi her zaman bilmeniz gerekiyor. Avustralya'da yasamak icin gelicek insanlara en az 100.000 kere tekrarlanmasi gereken sey. Kesinlikle turist olarak gelmemeleri cunku bugun televizyonda kacak gocmenleri kamplara topladiklarini gordum bu hep yapilan bir seymis gayet normal karsiliyorlar burda. Oha dememek hayvanlik bu durumda cunki insanlari hayvan gibi kamplara toplamak hic bir ulkeye yakismaz. Her neyse olay aslinda Avustralya'nin kacak ve yasal olmayan gocmenleri kamplarda tutmasi degil. Bu insanlar bu kamplarda gunlugu 100 dolara kaliyor nerdeyse bir 5 yildizli hotel fiyatina bir bakima acayip bicimde devlete borclaniyorlar. Bir insana yakismayan bir bicimde kampa sokmak zorla ustune onu borclandirmak gercekten dehset verici. Bu kamplarda neler dondugu ise mechul arastiriyorum bir sey cikmiyor haklarinda. Bu kamplarda hayatinizi gecirmek istiyorsaniz buyrun kacak olarak gelin.

 

Bir daha soyluyorum Avustralya hayali kuranlar cok kotu deneyimler yasayabilir en azindan uc kagitcilik burda cok agir cezalandiriliyor.

Thursday, 09 July 2009 21:34
Hello, I've merged and amended few procedures found around, so credits are going more to other people that to me! in any case after many attempt I've found how to have a 100% working installation of iaktos 10.5.7 on my acer one 150:

here the procedure:

Acer Aspire One - A150 (wireless dell 1390 installed) 1.5gb ram / iAtkos_v7 / Leopard 10.5.7 (video, sound and wired network working)

+ (Expand)
* (Select)

*iatkos v7 Main System (Installed By Default)
+Bootloader
*Chameleon v2 (Installed By Default)
+X86 Patches
+Decrypters (Unselect AppleDecypt)
*Dsmos (Select)
+Kernel
*9.50.0 KernelVoodoo (Select)
+ACPI
*x86 ACPI (Select)
+Drivers
(Skip VGA) NOT APPLICABLE TO ACER ASPIRE ONE D150 - Below is the Correct procedure to install the video with the proper resolution.
+Sound
*Voodoo HDA driver (Installed By Default)
+System

*Broadcom BCM43xx (Dw1490,Dw1390,Dw1395) (Select) This Kext is only if you have already Purchased The(Dw1490 Cards).
*Post_Install Actions (Installed By Default)

"Now Restart you should Hear Audio with Music and Go Ahead and Setup Info"
At This Point You Should Be On Your "Desktop"

This Is Where you will Do The Setup For Video "Drivers"
reboot in single user, -s option at the loader: 

Then, enter the following commands:

/sbin/mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelGMA*
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

reboot

once up and runnig :

download the correct video kext from http://depositfiles.com/files/lj13ctz15
thanks to uluf!! and install the kext using osx86tools (NOT KEXT HELPER..It didn;t work in my case)

reboot with flag -f (IMPORTANT THE FIRST TIME) then you can reboot without any option in the future.

you should have now the rigth resolution, open osx86tools again and enable quartz gl, then open disk utility and repair permission on the hd.

reboot again and you should have the acer with a 100% working 10.5.7...
run software update, install everything new, and make a backup of the working system! so in the future you can restore the backup instead doing again all that!

I hope this helps




UPDATE: not sure if it is real but cpu-x report the cpu speed at 1692mhz! with the multipler at x12.5 instead of x12.0, the iaktos team has implemented some software overclock by default??
I've noticed a that it is wormer than usual, and the battery goes down a little quickly.... I'll try to check other ways to check the cpu clock... system profiler reports the same!
 
Gercek esitligi icine sindirememek PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 09 July 2009 19:22

Merhabalar,

Bir Turk vatandasi bu ulkede bir hristiyan kurumu acilmasini tartisiliyor. Kimsenin olumlu ya da yapici bir karari yok bu yonde. Gecmisi cok koklu olan bu Rum ortodoks klisesinin tarih sayfalarinda izi bayaca buyuk wikipedia'dan bakmanizi oneririm. Benim gorusum insanlarin en kutsal haklarindan ibadet hakkinin engellenmemesi yonunde. 1453 den bugune nerede ise hic hristiyan kalmayan Istanbul'daki azinlik eridi gitti. Butun dunyada azinliklar bir bir korunup kulturleri yasatilmaya calisiliyor ( ozellikle gelismis ulkelerde). Turkiye'de ise isler tersine gidiyor bunu en son yapilan anketlerden anlayabiliriz. Son yillarda yapilan anketlerin cogu genclerin yurtdisinda calismak istedigini ortaya koyuyor yani bir bakima kacmak istiyor gencler bu ulkeden. Ama diger anketler Turkiye'de nerede ise kimse bir yabanci ile calismak istemiyor neden ise. Kendimize bir ceki duzen vermeden adam olmadan hep soylenip duran bir ulke olmaktan oteye gecemiyecegiz. 

 

Simdi ne alakasi var diyebilirsiniz Rum ortodoks klisesi ile yapilan anketlerin. Gercekte direk olarak bir baglanti yok ama durum gosteriyor ki Turkiye'de istemedigimiz adamla kendi ulkesinde calismaya raziyiz. Bu bariz iki yuzluluk degil mi? Bu ulke ve vatandaslarinin gercekten bati anlayisindan anlamasi gereken esitliktir. Yolda gordugu copcuye selam veren hal hatir soran i$ adamini Turkiye'de goremezsiniz. Ben bi kac bin kez sahit oldum bu en yuksek en altta kalan insanlarin hic tanismadiklarini halde nasilsin dediklerine birbirlerinin. Gozlerine baktigimda iki tarafta gayet birbirine saygili yaklasabiliyordu da. Garip cunku Turkiye gibi bi yerde imkani yoktur boyle bir seyin. He ya davul bile dengi dengine vurur.

 

Osmanlidan kalan o korumaci bazen cezalandirici devlet cumhuriyetle son buldu ama arkada kalan tebasi hristiyanlara ya da diger dinlere mensup kisilere hep ayni gozle bakmaya devam etti. Bu ulkede her kez esit dendi ama osmanlidan kalan diger dinlere mensup kisilerden daha cok vergi alma devam ettirilmeye dahi kalkisildi. Icimize bir turlu esitligi sindiremedik onlarin dinininde en az bizimki kadar kutsal oldugunu kendimiz icin ne istiyorsak onlarada o kadarini vermemiz gerektigini unuttuk. Biz biz olmaktan ciktik esitligi ne zaman haksizliga ugrarsak andik. Hic bir zaman paylasmadikta zaten alevi ile paylamadigimiz ekmegimizi ne diye hristiyanla paylasalim ki? Nerede ise en cok para alan bakanlik Diyanet kimseyi gormezden geldi.

 

Yahu neden boyle dusunuyorsun bak biz cok iyi davrandik azinliklara bilmem ne ornegi var diyebilirsiniz. Kac milyon kez duydum acaba osmanli ordusunun marifetlerini. En aptal insanin bile kanmayacagi seyleri ovunc duyulacak seyler haline getirmisiz. Dunu bugunun degerleri ile yargilamak ne kadar aptalca gelsede bazen salt gerceklik bize bir seyler anlatmaya calisiyor bir yerlerde toplum olarak tumden hata yapiyoruz. Birincisi dunden bugune ulkemizde azinliklar hep gormezden gelindi ve nufuslari o ya da bu sekilde eridi. Milliyetciligi ne kadar cok terrorist oldurdugumuzle olctuk. Askeri veya askeri bir mevzuyu tartismaktan uzak durduk devamli cunku her erkek saglikli ise askere gidiyor. Askerde ise isterseniz profesor olun size tuvalet temizletebiliyorlar ki buda size askeriyenin ne denli guclu oldugunu kafaniza sokuyor. Konuya geri donersek bugunun geldigi noktada insanlar ulkesi icin yapabilecegi en buyuk hizmet o ulke icin cok calismak o ulkeyi bir adim oteye goturebilecek seyler uretmektir. Her gun gazetede bir turk dunyayi degistirecek bir bulus yapti haberleri degil soylemek istedigim. Kucucuk baslattiginiz ya da orta olcekli bir is yerinin dunyaya acilip adini herkeze ezberletmesi butun olay. Bunun icin ise ilk adim marka nin tanimini anlamak.

 

Bir gucsuz ulkede kotu bir seyler olunca suclu hep bellidir. Dis kaynaklar kurcalamistir ulkeyi hep ayni yalan anlatilir insanlara hep ayni zirvalar. Ingiltere ve Amerika vermistir gazi butun halk ayaklanmistir o ulkede tabiki devlette ustune dusen gorevi yapip vatandaslarina hakkini bildirmistir. Bu senaryo gucsuz ulkelerin tek dayanagidir. Turkiye'dede bu durum boyledir Iran'dada Malezya'dada. Kimse ulan biz bir yerlerde hata yaptik herhalde diye dusunmez bile, hep yabancilar cikarir sorunu onlari kirli emelleri olan zenginler destekler. 

 

Gucsuz ulkeler kendilerini cok hizli gelisen ulkeler katogorisine koyar nerdeyse gelisecektir ama hep bir sorun vardir. Azinlik sorunu bir turlu birakmaz peslerini. 1800 lerde Yunanlardir sorun 1900 lerde Ermenilerdir ve 2000 lerde Kurtlerdir bu sorun. Herkez emindir o ulkede bu anasini sattiminin azinligi kotudur 2. siniftir atsan atilmaz satsan satilmazdir ama en agir islerede adam lazim degil mi? Once azinligin kafasina vurup elinden topragini alirsiniz sonra egitimsiz birakirsiniz ki iyi bir i$ kuramasin en sonunda ulkede bir nevi en alta itilmis bir azinlik patlar ve terorist olur.

 

Hey hey nerden nereye geldin diyorsunuz. Duyuyor gibiyimde. Bir yerden geldigim yok bu ulkede cok hata yapildi azinliklara karsi, buyuk igtimal bu hatalar yanlis yonlendirilmis toplumsal bilinc tarafindan tekrar edilecek. Bugun tum yunanistani kaybettik onlara esit davranmadigimiz icin. Bugun esitlikten ulke olarak azcik anlasa idik en azindan cumhuriyet Turkiyesi olarak bugun Hakkari Yuksekova'da karakol ve mayinli arazi yerine arastirma merkezi olurdu. 

Bu ulke bir cok degerini rengini yitirdi. Her azinlik bu ulkeye bir renk katti birbirinin kulturunu gelistirdi. Bugun artik cok gec olmus bir noktaya geldik en son icimizde olan azinlikta o yada bu sekilde eriyip gidicek. Belki diyorum yaptifimiz hatalari anlariz ve baskalarinin en kutsal haklarini devletce legal yoldan gasp ederken bunun gayet normal oldugunu cunku yapilanin yasal oldugunu zirvalamayiz.

Her dine saygi duymaniz dilegi ile.

"Discrimination" may mean nothing for a regular person who lives in his own country.  Before I come to Australia, I really do not know what discrimination is. I really believed that people treat each other equally because all we are the same whatever we think or whatever we believe. Guess what... now I do not believe that because of Australians. My appearance is totally a European, and that saves me from being discriminated most of time, but I see Aussies change on their face after I say where I come from. Anyway, I listen eveyday coversations of out-going Australians -mate I've found a pub only Aussies go.  Himm, should I say to him that I am one of those people who do not go that pub, or disguise and ignore him like usually I do.
