I'd say keep the exams closed book/no net, and the practicums open (you can't help but have them open). But then take 3-5 minutes per student and make sure that the practicum is at least fully understood by the student with an oral exam (TA's can handle that if too much workload).
Indeed. Ironic how someone who actually did get the national focus on the 'net and did a substantial amount to help fund the original hubs that grew into the 'net gets so much mockery from so many folks who's careers depend upon it.
I'm thinking that the primary source of the outrage is the fact that now there's been a dollar value assigned to your privacy, and that value is $25.00 at Amazon (which probably costs Google $20, because Amazon makes money off of shipping and such...)
I'm sure there's other reasons that are a bit more meta when it comes to privacy and how it's treated as well.
Except that if you're returning a drive that doesn't work (e.g., failed controller), then you can't wipe the data.
And if NewEgg isn't wiping it as part of their process, it means that the warranty you paid for is worthless, and that you really can't return any failed hard drives. Or laptops, for that matter.
I'm still curious, though. If NewEgg isn't responsible for wiping a drive where say the controller has failed, then does that not make the warranty worthless?
And note that this would apply to desktops and laptops as well.
Furthermore, NewEgg does sell Extended Warranties.
So how does one reconcile the fact that that they sell you hardware protection, but if you exercise your contractual rights to said protection, your data goes out into the wild?
So - then are you saying that you should never RMA a failed HD? Because if NewEgg doesn't wipe drives as part of the refurbishment, then you can never send a drive back.
It's about feeding the Congressional-Military-Industrial complex, and about keeping consumers [1] in line.
[1] Consumers really is an interesting term for people. It views folks not as people, but as cogs in the machine. Though these days, we're as much product as we are consumes of product.

To understand what it means that Jesus fulfilled the law, it has to stay.
Even Christ said that "ye shall know them by their fruits".
So, no, I wouldn't say that hateful people are what it's supposed to be about. And no, the Scotsman fallacy does not apply given this definition.
No True Pizza Delivery Driver would say that porn is not a reality.....
Maybe for some fields. Not for all - or even most, where one needs both theory and practice.
Practical exercises another.

You only say this because you took the Blue Pill.

What? If you're going to make claims that sound like you're pulling them out of your ass, back them up with at least some kind of links.
The real story, IMO, is whether or not people will accept Google's offer of $25 bucks at Amazon for a year's worth of their on-line privacy.
It sets the value for said commodity.

How do you know this isn't beta testing for a new Chrome feature? ;)
Sadly, though, the $25 is not enought to buy even a gallon of the rich, creamy, life giving ambrosia known as Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz.
That would be a different story altogether.
Already way ahead of your.
I've got a pool contractor who will take credit at Amazon, and I'm buying enough Marshmallow Fluff to fill my new pool and go swimming in it.
Funny thing, though - a lot of people would whip out the shotgun if someone was peeping in their window or reading their private journals.
Talking to our systems guys now about alternatives. That sucks.
Just looking at it won't hurt anyone.
Unless, of course, there is an unencrypted version of the Dark Book of The Elder Gods on the drive....

Which, as the AC above you points out, makes the warranty worthless.
That's not an acceptable answer, IMO. It may be reality, but it is horrible business practice.

Not about good guys and bad guys.

I have a hard enough time getting intelligent, driven and aware folks to call their congress folks.
Good on them for actually taking it to the streets.
