Of course they cheat. They have to. If they don't know how to cheat then how can they catch the students when they cheat so they can cheat better and better so they can cheat into a job where others learn to cheat from them!/cheat cheat
You are right. A group of people trained properly is about the only way to do this. Thing is to really be effective they would have to operate with little to no oversight. Essentially a black-ops for a cyber war.
That idea makes me squirm. Bad enough so many groups try this already with current laws, I wouldn't want to give that much power to a unmanaged group of people. If you want effective though, that's the way. A Czar is a waste of time really.
Sorry, I don't think something like that is necessary in this case.
If you go to Boxee's site, then click download, you are given VERY clear instructions on what needs to be done.
The poster's "I've been trying to find it for ages" translates as "I'm too lazy to even bother going to the site". Seriously.
If someone is interested in an application (particularly an app that's still in alpha), the first thing they should do is visit their website.
Microsoft has catered to the lazy user. Hell they take pride in it. If Linux is to get a meaningful share of desktop/netbook computers we must cater to lazy.
They would of course have a very small amount in the drink. Not enough to break laws, but enough to make people go "Lets get this! It's cocaine!" if it would ever be discovered. Marketing at its best folks.
It kinda does get to the point when we talk about Microsoft's business practices, that any person (even myself) could hand the United States Supreme Court a PC with this on it, say "WHAT THE #*%& MAN!" and have a compelling and winning legal argument.
With the press talking about people who want to harm the U.S. using Facebook, Twitter, various IM systems etc, it almost makes sense to turn off one such avenue of abuse. It may be a "lead by example" thing... or a software bug.
Its Microsoft. If it turns out to be a good thing, "feature". "Bad" its a software bug. "Really bad" and its a "zero day exploit" they knew about for "6 months."
Its Warcraft Games, Guild Wars and The Sims 2 here.
We lost our hunting games......

The "Apple Tax" is more than worth it. OS X is virtually 100% secure, and its worth paying the cost difference to ensure my stuff is on my Mac and Time Machine drive, rather than being sold off to the highest bidder off a server in Tehran.
I have recently written a textbook, and I have written it for a series that I know will get widely pirated, because the pages are A4 sized and photocopy really well and it will appear as a torrent quite quickly.
I will not make a lot of money from the book - probably $5k per edition, but writing it will enable me to share my vision with a lot of people, and I regard that as a privilege. The more it is pirated, the more it will help my career.
Whats the book? If thats why you wrote it, its why I will read it.

Earlier we was all freaked about a guy wanting to make a UAV for pictures and now we need to code the 3 laws in the Linux Kernel?
I just cant keep up with this place, I swear....

There is a video on youtube of someone doing it. It ran, laggy but you could grind in the world a bit or just check on things if needed in game.
Gawd, this is why the new one will suck even if its good. Too many good jokes done already.
