Considering how many employed coders I've met that didn't understand OS commands, shell scripts of any kind, or anything beyond their little realm, I'd say it's pretty common for students not to know how easy it is to tell they cheated.
And that's the difference. The rest of the world considers collaboration to be normal while, for whatever stupid reason, the US thinks collaboration is cheating. I learned far more from fellow students than I ever did from professors.
I never cheated on a test but I most definitely "cheated" by US standards on homework.
Isn't that the purpose of code reviews, though? I mean, you can grab a few lines to do a specific function, test it, maybe use as is, maybe improve, then have other people review the code. Or is that not done in the real world any more?
You obviously don't live in the DC metro area. Of the 20 or 30 theaters I've been to in the area, I think maybe 5 have been even remotely like your descriptions. Most are doing everything they can to improve the experience, including extra wide recliner seats, better (though expensive) food options, better sound, better theater sizing, and a bunch of other "improvements".
Since the MPAA doesn't pay the theater employees there's no chance in hell they're going to be able to enforce this any better than they do pre-existing recording technologies. Most people working at movie theaters wouldn't know what google glass is if it slapped them in the face. This is utter nonsense.
The whole problem with the concept is that in most (every one I've been in the last 20+ years in 4 different countries) secured facilities cell phones or any two way communication device, including 2 way pagers, weren't allowed. Many have electronics detectors mounted on the walls that detect RF emitters in the are. I've personally seen people's cell phones destroyed after forgetting to remove them from pockets.
The whole thing has been around for over 40 years and been dealt with appropriately throughout that time. This is not a real issue as it requires physical access to at least one device and a breech in existing protocols beyond that first physical access.
To the person suggesting more shielding, that is an option that is in place but very expensive.
It's funny I think that this is the way it should be and it makes me mad that people cry "victim" as much as they do but the reality is that until people stop getting beat up/killed/arrested/harassed just for being gay (as a whole, not individuals who also happen to be assholes) then it does matter when people publicly come out.
The problem is that we non-homosexual folks talk about our lives with our heterosexual partners we're not considered to be "wearing our sexual orientation on our sleeves" but when a gay person does, they are. When society no longer considers discussing your partner in casual conversation as "wearing your orientation on your sleeves" then people won't have press conferences to come out as gay. Until then, get used to it because it's going to happen more and more. Because it should.
The writing has been on the wall for several years now. Traditional TV viewing is going to be extinct in the near future. Too many people want to move to mobile devices, have video on demand, and other options. The cable/distribution companies need to get on board or die with the old business model. There are at least a few signs that they're starting to understand that.
It took a ton of money and the vision of a leader looking more than 3 years into the future. Anyone with enough money and willingness to throw that money at a "problem" will be able to compete.
How long until the phone companies start killing phones for late payment or cancellation of service? This does not bode well for freedom to choose your carrier or for unlocking phones.
The easy solution is to not do business with them. I had to call every month for a year due to overcharging for television service I didn't have and "multiple computers" back when they tried that nonsense. I eventually told them I'd had enough and they wouldn't get another penny from me and to cancel my service. I never once saw any kind of credit issue from it though they did try for the next year to get me to reinstate my service.
I haven't used any of their services for over 10 years now and haven't missed it a bit.
You want to change their policies? Speak with your wallet!
I don't believe you need a warrant to follow people. These are tracking devices, not tapping devices. There's a huge difference, legally. These are the equivalent of the cops following you everywhere you go, not listening to what you're saying, but just seeing where you're going and who you're associating with when you go out. Now they can just do it electronically.
Whether or not it's acceptable that the police have either capability is another matter altogether.
Whether or not the help is installed locally or just refers to an online help is usually an install option, in my experience. I haven't installed libreoffice in a long time because I don't like it, personally, but I think it's probably still an option. Maybe not.
If you don't factor in re-training costs, it's never a fair comparison. Training, however, doesn't take millions or even hundreds of thousands, of dollars and once your workforce is trained, new employees can always ask existing employees how to do something. There's a minor productivity hit until people are suitably comfortable/trained but that happens every time a new version of any existing software (MS or other) comes out anyway. It's the cost of doing business.
I think in the long-term, I think open source still wins but you have to roll it out properly and not just expect people to figure it out for themselves. That said, I've seen MS be very supportive and also seen the exact opposite from them. It all depends upon who you have on the other end of your issue and sometimes how much money it means to them.
So people don't ever have to report bugs to Microsoft? I think you and I live in different worlds because we report them routinely, to all of our vendors, whether we paid for the software or it was free.
Then you are going to keep getting overlooked. Save the "lessons learned" for the interview. Keep the resume relevant (current) and one to two pages with only your most recent experiences. When you get the interview, that's when you dazzle them with all the other stuff you actually bring to the table.
You haven't been reading the posts carefully then. There IS a law explicitly forbidding "entertainment" and non-informational displays (information for driving, not other crap) being displayed in front of the rear of the driver's seat. The law also explicitly lists exceptions, to include GPS and video (such as rear view cameras) that enhance the driver's ability to operate safely. Google glass may fall into that category but it very clearly also falls outside of that category.
I can't read the linked article but I'm going to assume that the driver in question wasn't stopped because she was wearing stupid looking glasses. She was probably stopped because she was driving badly and then the police realized (or she told them) she was wearing google glass and cited her appropriately. Really, nothing to see here. Unless she can somehow prove that she was using the glass display as a legitimate HUD for operating the vehicle, she was breaking the intent (if not the letter-which is arguable as well) of the law. Plain and simple.

Equal opportunity under the law is (in the USA). Get back to us when that's available.

Or Netflix, Hulu, or any number of other alternatives, including broadcast TV websites.
Or, maybe, read a book, build something, get out and exercise, or other non-electronic options.

One more reason I'm dumping gmail and moving to a private mail domain. F them, their snooping, and their "we know what you want" attitude.
Has anyone indicated that SpaceX is making a profit yet? From the article it wasn't obvious that they are now or in the next couple of years.

There is no working prototype. This is a theoretical break through. They haven't proven anything yet.

This is what causes bridges (and everything else) to fail. Resonating at the harmonic frequency of anything will eventually cause it to fail.

Someone please mod this up. It's not just agism that's keeping people out of the job market.

And that, my friends, is complete and utter bullshit legal-speak. Sure, it follows the letter of the law, but not the spirit of it. Way to go...
That kind of attitude is why our legal system wastes millions of dollars every year.
