I applaud you, but surely you realize you're on the diligent end of the spectrum. Besides, that may tell you the person taking the exam is the right person, but it doesn't mean they didn't have someone else write their papers for them.
Students who want to cheat will probably find a way. We should do what we can to minimize this, and ideally, eventually they'll get caught. But throwing away a whole mode of instruction that's proven to be effective is not the right way to go about it.
That's already enough dominoes we can't do shit about. So all we can do is hope that the Spanish, the Italians and the Greeks all have their markets crash through the floor SO WE CAN BUY THEIR HOUSES AND MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF FINLAND. That's the real Finnish dream;).
No problem, just make sure your savings are in Swiss Francs rather than Euros, then.
P.S. I'm a climate skeptic goddamnit. It really pisses me off when warmists keep calling me a denialist. Only people with no real evidence to back up their case resort to name-calling.
Then you might want to reconsider referring to their side as a "conspiracy". And I say that as someone who actually agrees with you that their use of "denialist" is ad hominem and thus an anti-scientific tactic.
I'm not a lawyer, but I used to work in a law library, and that's know enough to know that "U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland" is a federal court, not a state one.
At least in the U.S., there are subsidies for agribusiness that make it cheaper in the store than it would otherwise be. Were it not for this, people might be more interested in substitutes. Probably not bugs, though.
Agreed. For most use, I need my a larger laptop that is the replacement for a desktop machine. For some things, or when traveling, it's more convenient to have a laptop that can be carried in one hand and that weighs a lot less. Chromebooks are not useful for the first use case, but they are for the second.
Now that my eldest is a teenager we've been doing a rewatch (for me) and first thime though (for him). We got to that episode a few weeks ago. Best. Trek. Ever.
That's true. In fairness, though, that's the worst episode ever of Voyager, rather than a representative example. It would be like judging TOS by "Spock's Brain" or TNG by "Code of Honor".
Honestly, nine times out of ten, if a nerd makes nothing but technical claims against some product, it's almost always guaranteed to be a success. That's because the things we care about are outside of the norm.
When the focus group is that big, it means that if a promising show isn't picked up, it will more likely become known to fandom in general, leading to the possibility that large groups will come together to ask that a particular show be made. I could see that making a difference.

So sorry, but, uh, WTF?
Not surprising -- if you look on a globe you'll see that's about as far from France as you can get.
Urban culture... I live in Maine. Is the a code word for black people?
Well done: Yes, it is.

...Wonder Twins.
Are you under the mistaken impression that high-enrollment courses on campus always card students before they take an exam?
Oh. Well, whoooosh, then. :-)
Since when are the Tories a far right party? Even UKIP isn't far right. BNP, okay, they're far right.

And if they use the revenue to fund military research, they could call it DERPA.

Actually, a gallon isn't the same as a gallon or the same as a gallon, if we mean Imperial gallons vs. U.S. liquid gallons vs. U.S. dry gallons.

Apparently not, since there's an XKCD Sucks site. I often like it, though.
It's like they wanted to take all the things from Orson Scott Card's Pathfinder series and combine it, or something.

I think of this as Sturgeon's Law in action.
This happens anyway. You do know why Eris's moon is called Dysnomia, right?
No matter what your ideology, it's pretty silly to claim that your preselected worldview is somehow meaningfully supported by a single data point.
Yes, but as annoying as that was, at least a human being could still read the code.
