If the student is a citizen, and the research is not covered under some form of secrets act, the university shouldn't be allowed to try to charge him, specially since he developed it.
Then send in an image bearing the words [deleted by order] and put that as the first words of the caption. Then describe what you were taking a picture of.

Make sure that it sounds really interesting and tells everybody who's running the contest that their own security is RUINING THEIR CONTEST and that you will post a single UGLY PICTURE of a stockyard instead for every interesting picture they should/should/would have run.
Tell them that all the terrorists are all using cell phones with cameras nowadays to work around their paranioa so they've got nothing to worry about from still cameras.
If they can grab the media, they shouldn't bother.
get my ass out of the way of the truck that was barreling at my car because I had got off an exit ramp and slowed down properly only to find my ears filled with honking and my rear-view mirror filled with some trucker's headlights.
Its an unfortunate combination of my innate caution and their innate self-assurance that led to a few seconds of terror on both our parts.
I have also spent many an evening on the Blue Ridge Parkway tailgating Bamby (white-tailed deer aren't really,) and running over "Thumper" (an accurate rendition of the sound made, [minus the squooshy squeak,]) in that Disney-esque scenery.
I doubt that the Volvo people are going to engineer their cars to speed UP.
Don't think webcast until we have IPv6 and some real bandwidth. (And frankly I don't see that happening in the 'States for years because of all the lawyers on every side gumming up the works with writs and estopels and suits.

Think podcast where the download of content is mediated by RSS and the playback is separate from download. I have not watched a TV channel or listened to a radio for years. My days are not empty desolate hours of staring at a flickering box where I have no choice and my only control is to change the hue of the flickering image.
I may have been an early adopter, but I have seen the future of media evolve slowly before my eyes... and it works.:-)
Owning a broadcasting station is akin to owning a buggy whip manufacture, without any possibility for any after market.
If they want to cite NYT material, the NYT can't stop them either. Apart from that, its English. There are only so many ways to express a concept before they are forced to reuse words and phrases.

Tax gasoline very high (twice what you'd need, so you can repay the banks one and for all) and watch your revenues fall as gasoline conservation gets going.
With peak oil the revenues will rise as the prices rise again.
I'd pump water UP to store the energy and let it flow DOWN to release the energy.
Granted it might not be as efficient as battery storage but it would be cheap, deploy-able right now, and it can be made as large as needed, plus it can be used to extinguish fires "downhill' and slake thirst.
It doesn't even have to be in the same place as the wind farm. Just in front of it, like in the mountains like the ones that cause the chinooks winds in Alberta.
I can see setting up a mountain top reservoir, filling it with water pumped by excess energy and emptying it when needed.
We're switching from one which likes maiming people (screw small animals, [and maybe screwing small animals, {we're going to miss the fun "hunting with Dick Cheney" stories}]) to, uh, "change".
Having to pay off to individuals solely vested in one corporation means wiping out that one corporation wipes them all out in one fell swoop.

The totality for ALL copyright law is being extended by works done for hire for a single corporation (which NEVER dies, though it may go bankrupt.)
We need:
one law for people (14 years from publication[, which should be enough time according to assorted studies,]) and
one law for corporations (14 years since last use[, which should be enough to protect them too{, which means that we need not "fear Mickey Mouse"(, nor would "Mickey Mouse" have any reason to fear us.)}])
BUT works owned by corporations CANNOT be labeled as anything but as owned by the corporation.
That insures that the provenance is clear.
That insures that the ultimate destination for moneys paid is clear.

If you still want it, knock yourself out, but you should KNOW.
O-O code can be optimized by knowing how (and therefore where) to cut up your code.
The code itself doesn't need to be any different, but how and where you cut it up can make an enormous difference in performance.
If you can take advantage of RAM to cache intermediate results of seek (find/get) operation, you can get incredible speed out of otherwise 'dead code'.
I first learned the importance of getting things right. (A payroll program that gets the wrong answers gets the doors torn off the front of cookie factory. [That was my predecessor's mistake.:-])
Then I learned the importance of getting them to run fast. (I had a twelve hour window for calculation that suddenly got chopped in six as the company spread over a wider geographic area. The company bought their competitor. Now I had more impatient people to deal with [See previous 'font door' problem.])
Squeaked by and the machine eventually got upgraded with a mainframe.
I eventually learned to write Smalltalk (interpreted once, cached compiled code) that could outperform any C or C++ code by exploiting the structure of the problem. (I had people generating huge reports multiple times because they couldn't get it through their thick skulls that the program was not malfunctioning, it has actually finished.)
First, do it right.
Then do it fast.
Lastly do it small. (RAM is simultaneously the most expensive part of a system and if you know how to program, since time is money, the cheapest.)
it took PostScript on a Linotronic 300 (1,200 dpi resolution printing to silvered paper,) before the Mac took off and slaughtered the old method of getting images from the design to the printing press.)
Likewise, the Mac is almost ubiquitous in audio (not as much [Audacity runs on anything]), video and movie pre- and post-processing.
The visual metaphor effectively masks the RPN flow of StackOfOperands -> operation -> resultOnTopOfStack.

We see what THAT brings...
I've been bit once when switching from OS X 10.4.x to OS X 10.4.y
I instituted the policy and bought a FireWire backup drive on which to duplicate my system disk BEFORE doing anything to the OS.
If the update fails, I just switch boot disk and wait until the fix is made and shown to work.
I really should do that with my Linux disk but I don't use it for work and I can multi-boot it from different partitions.

You can use any oil you want however.
Since Apple doesn't sell its hardware WITHOUT an OS of some kind, Psystar doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Maybe they could work out some kind of deal for obsolesced OSs (like 10.1 or 10.2) but I doubt they'd have many sales then.

Instead now the powers that be, in order to make us all miserable and scared and too distracted to "Pay Attention To What's Really Going On"©(TM)® and rising up to string up by their own intestines, had to take the entire economy off-line.
This was an improvement?!?!
