I realize there are arguments in favor of network neutrality, but as a huge fan of alliteration, I'm really looking forward to reading the headline "Network Neutrality Nixed in Norway."
uh-huh. Thing is, maybe someone else has already tried; there's no harm in asking, and possibly saving oneself the half hour that someone else already put into it. Nobody was ordering you to do it. If you don't use Live, he wasn't asking you to try it just to answer his question.
First and foremost, you must write down your IMEI number. Simply type *#06# into your cell phone. It may look like: AA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-D . That is the serial number of the phone, and it will not change if the SIM is changed. Write it down into a safe place.
Excellent! I am writing the number down right now in the memo pad application on my cell phone!
LimeWire's lawyers are exactly right. Read the claim -- they cite an RIAA conspiracy "to destroy any online music distribution service they did not own or control, or force such services to do business with them on exclusive and/or other anticompetitive terms so as to limit and ultimately control the distribution and pricing of digital music, all to the detriment of consumers." That's pretty much what happened and continues to happen; you can complain that nobody forced LimeWire to break the law, but that doesn't in any way get the RIAA off the hook for blatantly anti-competitive practices (and LimeWire's attorneys are right that unlicensed content sharing is the inevitable consequence of those practices).
Where was this? On its face that sounds absurd. If the cheating is documented, there should be no way for the student to win a grade appeal. I would also have real concerns about a teacher willing to change such a grade based on such a ludicrous argument. I wonder if there is more to the story.
I actually agree with some of your points - this is my philosophy towards attendance, for example - if they want to pay for school and not show up, that's their business. But the problem is not what should we expect of them, but what should I expect of myself. If they want me to put my name and reputation behind their claims to knowledge, it becomes my business. It's not just about devaluing the degree anymore; it's about my integrity too. Once I know a student was cheating, I cannot in good faith sign my name to a grade that states they have successfully completed the requirements for this assignment. Our university also obligates instructors to report all instances of academic dishonesty, even if the prof decides to deal with it without failing the student or seeking further sanction. I think that is a sane policy, since a student who gets caught cheating a second time will not be able to play dumb anymore.
I don't go out of my way looking for cheaters, but if I read a paper that sounds like it was copied off a website, I sure as hell take a look at google to see if a simple search confirms my suspicions. Professors should care because it doesn't just affect the students; it affects the professors too. It makes us look like idiots if we continually let different students turn in the same paper year after year. You say "cheating will catch up with them" eventually and that is true - one of the reasons it will catch up with them is because some professor will notice it and take appropriate action. If I notice it, it becomes my job to be that professor.
As a university professor, I have caught cheaters on numerous occasions (approximately one a semester, often more) -- mostly undergrad, but the occasional grad. I have heard that justification numerous times. It's an odd one to give after you got caught; obviously, failing the course and facing possible expulsion is hardly "getting the job done." But I get the sense that I am the anomaly - I think students get away with cheating in many of their courses. Most of the cheating I find is plagiarism, and there are many cases where I don't think the student really understood what they were doing. I had two very interesting cases - both grad students, bizarrely enough - where the student plagiarized work that I had written. One of them copied sentences from an article I had written that was published on the web, and used them without attribution. The other had actually plagiarized a wikipedia entry that I was an active contributor to! I caught the latter one because I recognized a quotation she used as one I had contributed to the wikipedia entry; when I went back to look at it, entire chunks of prose were being used without attribution.
I do think there is another explanation for a lot of these cases than "getting the job done," however; many of the students are doing things that are so stupid that they must know (at least subconsciously) that they will get caught. I think there is a category of cheaters who are seeking attention, as bizarre as it might sound.

he said evidence about most killers, in the form of peer reviewed studies, not dogmatic assertions about "all psychopaths."
you have to read Beowulf while you do it!
because the victim wasn't a prepubescent beauty queen being dressed up by her parents and pranced around like a stripper?
A little known feature!

I just want him to try it. Just once, for him to go on his show and say "Malcolm in the Middle is hurting America."

I'm sure he'll be happy to once he finds out an answer. Comments like yours aren't helpful here. I too would like to know the answer to this question.

Depends what you mean by "activity." If the phone is on, it can be tracked.
especially if the owner is in a movie theater.
Mmmmm, stakes.....
funny thing is, "Prince" is actually the name he was born with.
None of us are! There's a giant fucking bug out there!
