Double extortion, in fact. The RIAA gets money, the uni is free from lawsuits.
It may be possible to ask for a refund of certain portions of your student fees. Illinois does that for the fees funding various registered student organizations or services (e.g. student legal dept).
$DEITY help the teacher who cares but who also relies solely on papers for judging grades. Making the student defend his/her paper orally might do much better at helping to identify cheaters.
Unless of course the student is fitted with a microphone and earbud and is having the answers fed wirelessly.
I suspect it is more of a CYA situation. The airline staff aids the passengers collectively and presume they take the responsbility for their own safety. That's the point of the whole preflight diatribe about seatbealts and floatation devices. They aren't going to agree to having sole responsibility for a particular passenger's life. Any insurance company would see to that, I think.
Also, driving drunk, talking on your cell phone, watching dvds/playing ps2 while hitting and killing an innocent couple, and smashing into brand new Ferraris with your Yugo for the fun of it would be no problem because you're insured.
Do insurance companies not pay out in cases where you're driving while on the cell phone and you cause on accident?
Being of the crowd that thinks cell phones should primarily be for making and receiving phone calls, I find there are several (perhaps semi-facetious) convergence questions yet to be answered:
1. When will we be able to record movies with cameras built into cell phones? 2. Why doesn't my portable video recorder have a built-in cell phone? wireless? 3. When will consumer digital cameras have a built-in wireless? 4. Can we trade pr0n images and pirated movies without using the I^hinternet (ad-hoc or bluetooth)? 5. ???
Companies are getting rich by stealing the future inventions of people with these generic fucking patents.
I think many people have speculated this for a while: a business world governed by patents and licensing where individual incentive to create is effectively unlawful.
This is why I think it's important to support open source, the GPL, and open scientific research.
Before my first flight under this new "security" screening, I was pulled out of line for several stupid reasons, including an empty plastic water bottle (which they discarded for me) and an untied shoelace. The shoelace prompted them to do a quick wipe of my shoes and bag handles, and led them to "discover" "drugs".
They got really uppity and starting firing questions rapidly at me as to the possible source of this contamination. After about 3 to 5 rounds with me deliberately responsed slowly -- because I figured they were trying to get me to make a mistake -- they stopped and just recorded my name, address, etc.
Great. I'm now a person of interest for drug trafficking or who knows what. Woo government.
What has amazed me studying foreign languages is how the same thought is expressed a different way depending on the language. Given you and your native tongue, when you listen to the other language you can understand the intended message but you just would not have thought of expressing it that way.
Also, how a message is expressed also is influenced by that culture.
Ah, thanks. That clears up where your firewalls are. I had already done sort of the opposite. I have a linux box working as a router behind the ISP's DSL modem. The linux router has a second NIC for a wireless AP (Linksys WRT54G) that is a DHCP server for a purely wireless network (with WEP and MAC on). So the wireless packets just get masq'd by the linux box.
To add more wired boxes, I would wire them into a plain switch in between the second NIC and AP. The topology may be less than ideal, but it is convenient to make use of accumulated hardware.
Sorry..having trouble parsing all the "?AN" acronyms. Are you saying that your wireless router routes traffic to your wired and wireless networks independently?
Sadly, this removal had to happen given who Google's competitors are going to be in search space. No doubt they will continue to record the information, but it won't be public anymore.
I voted my conscience (3rd party) in the 2000 elections with no effect. Since then it's become clearer to me that having a 3rd party choice at a top level just "magically" appearing isn't going to happen. The Dems and Reps and biased media would see to it that it not happen.
Rather, getting a 3rd party significantly represented at higher levels under the current system is a long-term prospect that begins by voting for 3rd parties at the local level (be it a city, county, or state representative). That's the only way that the idea of a viable 3rd party candidate is going to solidify in people's minds.
Good idea. Downloaded it at work at 4 MB/sec and am going to burn it onto CD. Probably will send a copy to my parents who are still on a 56k modem. Should I gift-wrap it?
The journals get all this work, which costs them nothing. They publish print editions, and charge for them.
And on top of that, some journals prefer full resolution, camera-ready figures / images. More work for the author, less work for the journal: a higher margin for the journal. Whether it's faster for the author is questionable, as the reviewers may have anywhere from 1 to 3 months before having to respond to a manuscript.

now we get 5 [years] of teen Linux.. moody and depressed.
Linux will grow out of it. We just need to speak out against Clippy Suicide.
Will there be an Any key?

I wonder how Olympic Paints gets away with it.

With mini hard drives coming to cell phones (Google cache), the cell phone "TIVO" can't be far behind.
You know, there just might be enough pull in the data to make Einstein turn in his grave.

First it was microwave towers, then power lines, then cell phones.
and somewhere in there was police officers' higher incidence of testicular cancer in those who claimed to use their crotch as a radar gun holster.
my guess is impaired circulation, but hey....

Interestingly, these are at work, mostly at the end of June and again since the beginning of August. At home I barely got any probes.
