  1. it is a faculty wide problem on Preventing Networked Gizmo Use During Exams? · · Score: 0

    hence your faculty should address it. Ours has bought calculators to be used during exams. You can always force students to bring a paper dictionary. If they don't like, they can drop the course.

  2. Re: Canadians and Mexicans have an easier life, on H1B Tech Visa Workers Being Deported From U.S. · · Score: 1

    Canadians (and Mexicans) don't have to worry about this type of visa. We qualify under NAFTA for a special type of visa that is renewable indefinitely every year. Furthermore, we can apply for the visa at the point of entry as long as ourjob description is an official list and we have a job offer letter. As simple as that.

    And yes, Toronto is a nice place to work. :)

  3. Advanced search not so advanced. on Google, History, Profitability · · Score: 1

    Google can be good, but it still needs some work
    in the advance category. Compare it with altavista.

    In Altavista I can say: host:uwaterloo.ca & not (computer science) & software engine* ~ courses & link:stanford.edu

    I have a lot of flexibility with Altavista.

    In google you have to use their archaic form. It would be very good if develop a simple parser for their advance search, instead of the restrictive
    advance form. Furthermore, proximity is not implemented.

    Until then Altavista is my choice.

  4. Re:You can edit unit strengths, can't you? on CivCTP Patch Released · · Score: 1

    Well, it is just like Star Wars V, in which
    the Ewoks were able to defeat the Imperial
    troops. You can indeed modify the settings,
    but this way, even the "technologically
    challenged" have a chance to stay in
    the game (albeit it is a slim one).
