Ignoring the fact that they are punishing people before it is even proven they did anything wrong, why are they taking away internet access?
For most crimes that I know of, you pay a fine or spend some time in jail. Are they taking away internet access because that is what was used to commit their "crime"?
If that's the case, they should chop off your legs the third time you illegally cross a street.
There's a notice on the site - here or as a featured link on there home page - that says fee exempt customers are prohibited from releasing documents to the public. It didn't say anything about releasing them if you did pay for them.
Aside from the silly idea of saying you can't make public documents public, are they saying you can only release these documents if you payed for them?
I see VHDL mostly used. I only ever see Verilog in third party libraries or autogenerated code.
I think language is an individual choice, but whatever you choose, make sure the students actually synthesize something on a chip and try to meet some timing requirements. Everything works in simulation.
Also, have them take at least one programming course. Firmware engineers try to write software as if it were firmware. Think variables and function names in all caps and absolutely no code reuse. I'm still fixing this guys terrible code.

That better be a dry erase marker. Using a permanent magic marker would be stupid.
I totally had the same image in my head. "There. Now no one can read it. Let's put it on the internets!"
So, it is basically about cognitive dissonance?
