In a Gullwing (or Falcon wing as some are calling this one), if you partially open the door you cannot get out. Probably relevant in every single parking lot in America...
FTFY.
I drive a Japanese compact and am about the scrawniest person you'll ever meet, and even I sometimes have trouble getting out of my ride with how narrow most parking lot spaces are these days... not even counting the dickheads who park on the goddamn line.
This is still vulnerable to statistical analysis, because little in nature is truly as random as random data is.
Uh, I thought it was the other way around, as the "randomness" of the data is determined by the use of non-random algorithms, whereas nature is not dependent on such defined programming.
As an example, compare Rhapsody's "shuffle" setting that only repeats 20 songs from a 500 song playlist over and over, as opposed to closing your eyes and chucking darts at the same list.
In fact, I imagine this could be a good tool to make therapy accessible to people with those sort of problems. Face to face sessions after patient gets comfortable could be a goal in the process?
Could, so long as the patient isn't using it as an excuse to avoid said face-to-face sessions.
All I'm saying is that, used improperly, this technology could inadvertently do some patients more harm than good.
If you're an anti-social shut in who just found out you don't even have to talk to your therapist face to face, what incentive do you have to better yourself?
The success of the web-only series The Guild comes to mind...
Not to mention, the doctors may be doing more harm to their patients than good, specifically the socially awkward who already have trouble with interpersonal communication.

What would "I lost my job because I work for an asshole?" qualify as?
That would also be external. However, if you consider that a large part of perception is really projection, this statement may reveal more about the person that lost their job than their boss.
Trick question: It's both. External because the statement refers to the boss in a negative and purely subjective term, internal because the speaker is taking responsibility for working for said asshole.
Thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts; Johnny, tell 'em what they've won!
Related anecdote: I once worked for an individual who was so alienating that everyone who knew him, including his entire family, had completely disowned him; As much as I wish that were hyperbole, it's the truth. Dude was literally the most hate-filled person I had ever met. When I was working for him, I happened to be suffering from undiagnosed (not for lack of trying) gallbladder disease, and he ended up firing me for, and this is a direct quote, "Not properly managing [my] health condition." The facts of the matter were that he just plain didn't like me, which was well known around campus, but for 3 years he couldn't find a legitimate reason to fire me, so he made one up. Dude was an asshole, pure and simple.
On the other end of the spectrum, I lost a later job because I just wasn't qualified for the work they had me doing. No hard feelings there.
The point? "External/Internal locus of control" is mythological, as every person and every situation is different, so attempting to apply a universal, static thought process and pretend that every situation is identical, ceteris peribus, is top-of-the-line nonsense. If it weren't, Freud would be right that we all want to fuck our mothers.
Do you want to fuck your mother? I sure as hell don't.
When you sell a second hand album you are giving away a unique physical item. Selling a digital item provides no guarantee that you have "given" the original item, or that you don't have a million copies of it, or that you had an original item in the first place.
Selling a physical item, say a used CD, provides no guarantee that you have "given" the original item, or that you don't have a million copies of it, or that you had a[ legally acquired] original item in the first place.
An example of an external locus of control would be someone saying: "I lost my job because my boss is a jerk" whereas an example of an internal locus of control would be: "I lost my job because I didn't do a good enough job."

"The technology fee funds technology initiatives including expanding ASU's wireless network on all of its campuses, increasing the number of technology-enabled classrooms, developing a system to allow students to access University-licensed software, reducing dependence on computing labs and expanding and improving online self-service environment."
I dont see internet in there...
As a public university, the internet access is funded by either tuition, government grants, or both.
No matter how you slice it, the students (and the rest of AZ taxpayers) are funding ASU's internet service.
What that has to do with a public institution breaking the law and violating the civil liberties of their students, I don't know.
It really makes me wonder. New laws are being proposed in rapid succession to give organizations more and more power over individuals. What laws are being proposed to save us all from this?

Yeah. I'd still take it.
Me too, if it keeps me from suffering the inevitable loss of cognizance (Alzheimer's runs strong in my family).
The thought of no longer having control over my own thought processes scares the living bejesus out of me.
closing your eyes and chucking darts at the same list.
Chucking darts at a wall is incredibly non-random. It's good for a one-time toss, but repeated uses will cluster badly.
Looks like you might benefit from this.
Edgar Allen would be so proud.

I've already been tracking your wife's computer usage, screenshots, webcam, etc - for years.
And she seems to enjoy watching midgets shit on old people.
Almost as much as we've enjoyed watching her watch them.
Gotta start somewhere...

I admit, that's one I have yet to view.
So many web series', so little free time...
I wouldn't want anyone else to use this idea...
That's pretty much how I thought of it as well.
And I'm not even a programmer.
So back to booze and weed self medication it is then.
Thanks doc!
Hey, it works for the majority of the populace.

I wish this guy success though. As you suggest, this will gore enough oxen that somebody with money will care that the system is broken.
Your folly is in assuming the cure won't be worse than the sickness.
Think about the parties involved here, and their past actions regarding patents and copyright. This does not bode well for the average creator.
Time for someone to start an open source college/university
I had planned on making a wisecrack about the lack of "open-source careers" for graduates, but sadly, the job outlook is already pretty damn sad for traditional university grads.
Nothing like taking out a mortgage to buy an education you'll never get paid to use, eh comrades?
No student at ASU could figure out how to post to Twitter?
Well... it is ASU, after all.
First they'd have to put down the bong.
The idea of a school censoring the web is a lot more disturbing than a private business...
In the US is there a difference between a school and a private business?
Yes. Even "private" schools have certain legal standards they must abide by.
They never really accomplish anything.

Already have 'em.
We just have to stop allowing government agents from pretending they don't exist or aren't relevant.
