What we really need for the government to do is open 100's of rural military bases (to defend us against the confederate army) and let DARPA contract building more infrastructure.
Hmmmmm, I would feel delighted to be the professor with that job. Your students are always too busy playing games to come to class. Does game programming really belong in a university setting? I think that universities should be in the business of teaching proper coding technique and theory and leave the implementation to companies.
Does the student deserve a punishment? I think the answer is obviously yes. I don't think this really has much to do with rights online. Would this be posted here had the student been watching through the teachers window while he/she was writing the exam? For that matter, what if the student saw a hardcopy in the secretaries office and took digital pictures of each page? I think that the teacher's rights have been compromised if anything. I do think the punishment may be harsh, and that the school should deal with it internally, but the student should be accountable the action taken. If one considers the parallels I drew before, I think that the punishment being proposed is way too harsh (don't get me wrong).
The producers don't stick to what they know works. The people who watch the Star Trek series will always like the same thing and belong to a, dare I say, subculture. They tried to draw in a new target audience (one could failure is an understatement) and in the process alienated their loyal viewer.
I think the problem lies in the fact that every episode you felt left out if you had missed the previous. The other shows you mention, they did a good job of filling you in or at the very least, writing it in such a way that if you didn't see the previous show, you wouldn't have that lost feeling.
The series started off well enough. They just kept introducing stranger and stranger concepts and new races. It wasn't the same as TNG where there was actually a plot. Everything after TNG has been a tragedy because they don't stick to what works. Everything is either too "shoot em up", or way too involved. Every TNG episode was a stand-alone good watch, even if you had never seen the series before. The whole temporal war thing was way too hard to follow and the aliens, though they had some cool abilities, stunk. The show needs more depth to its writing. I mean, the captain is Sam Beckett, but the whole moving through time thing stunk.
$400k is a drop in the bucket in academic research. When you take into account the overhead on lab equipment and more importantly grad/post docs and research staff, this doesn't go very far. It should also be mentioned that the USA today article is talking about a cognit gap. You have to love the media using buzz words to excite the audience. Cognition implies awareness with perception, reasoning...I don't think a computer reading and answering questions is cognitive in the smallest sense.
But I would request cold hard cash instead of stock options I agree. This result isn't applicable to just.com's. Many employees see $$ flash before their eyes and hinge their whole retirement on these stock options. As with all stocks, the potential for growth is much greater than taking the cash. I don't think that corporations inform their employees well enough when presenting them different bonus options (it probably isn't even their responsibility to either). I would definitely say "Show me the money".
I have run up to 5 streams (3 wired) and 2 802.11g from an old 600 Mhz P3 without any need for rebuffering the stream. The only downside to using iTunes is that the functionality to stream beyond ones own network was phased out. It would have been much better had the left in the ability to stream over the internet so I could listen to my collection at work.
