The entire situation is kinda irritating, I spent only 2yrs and 6 months at college and never got anywhere in a degree due to the lack of guidance in the system. I never got a grant/loan broke my ass to pay all costs out of pocket. And was given the same bullshit found in why these 4 are being railroaded. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST LET EVERYONE DO IT !!! Lemme see the main guy in the group was connecting via a nominally used access point already in the building (which he has appearently paid to use in form of lab access card); He is using his equipment which is at a greater risk of being damaged due to the length of connection. ; the claim is that access was not provided for required programs (wordprocessing) and limited access would greatly decrease grade achivement in my view.
So what does this mean... yep don't ya come to here yonder OSU cause even tho' the world might be connected we ain'tz....
Holy backwoods batman leave me a line to climb outta this place and enter a world where the college appreciates the advancement of study and use of non-costr to campus tools.
With the continual issues on Point redeemer promotions why is it that Pepsi shouldn't be required to present this fool a single $700,000 Harrier Jump Jet (if this means they need to remove all interior items so be it). My main concern here: The fact is that they allowed a single indivdual to purchase points in thier contest of well over a resonable level of points for a monetary exchange, this is quite frankly rediculous. This should have be the basis of legal fault on Pepsi Co.'s part and any other company that offers a point redeemer prize contest. We all know there are more stupid people than smart people and this is a case of a smart-assed person not a stupid one. But think about it for a second and ask yourself if you would allow your lung chugging relative any lee-way in his/her ideal of buying more of them points to get a pool table instead of actually finding a pool table dealer to buy one for less money, cancer risk etc..
