Hey! Cool! You mean my corporation can buy just one copy of Microsoft Windows and my entire corporation -- and all its shareholders! -- can legally copy it?
I remember back when the service just came out of beta and I was the first on the block to get it. The tech that came to install flipped when he saw that I was running a LAN and that I wanted to put the modem on a PC with 2 NICs (back before the nifty Linksys cable router). He went on and on about how connecting a LAN to the cable modem (in any way) would "crash the service" and that he was "flagging my account" so tech support would know not to help me. It was kinda funny, in a way. I ended up yanking one of the cards out until he left.
Although the woman in front of me on line at the post office certainly tried, the post office will NOT throw out your junk mail for you. Trust me on that one.
If for no other reason than one man's junk mail is another man's Vicotria's Secret catalog.
Well, I'm glad someone said it. University at Buffalo has more "general education" requirements then I know what to do with. One could easily spend 2 years just doing that.
My current plan is to stay in school taking 1 class until they finally drop the Spanish requirement. Incidentally, business majors don't have to take a foreign language because there program is so "condensed," but Comp Sci majors still have to take it. Explain that one to me.
That made me think back to my own American History class
We had to do these long, tedious, mind-numbing assignments that were due weekly. After the first couple, I became quite convinced that the prof was not even looking at the assignments at all and was, in fact, just checking off who turned it in.
So, T-10 minutes before one of the assignments was due, I made a very poor photocopy of my friend's assignment (which he did by hand and on looseleaf paper), put a single line through his name and wrote mine above it. I got a perfect score.
Macropayments are a really bad way to pay for content. Lets think about some possible ramifications for a moment... Well, as was already mentioned, this would be the death of small ISPs, but what wasn't mentioned was that it would also hurt small content providers. Think about it! If every ISP had to make a deal with individual content providers, then the small guys would have a very hard time getting ISPs to get contracts with them. They would either have to give their content away for free or join some kind of AOL/TimeWarner evil faceless content network.
Micropayments have plenty of problems to be worked out (privacy issues, etc), but macropayments just plain suck.
If you want to hire people with more practical knowledge and less theory, then perhaps you should hire CE or Software Engineering grads instead of CS grads. I mean, isn't that the point?
The University that I attend (SUNY at Buffalo) has a quite strict policy regarding cheating in CS classes. Cheating even includes having someone look over your shoulder in the lab and give you hints.
The first offense results in, at minimum, an F in the class and the the CS department will refuse to sign off on any of your financial aid forms. A second offense is automatic explusion from the department.

Something here doesn't quite add up...
I had that same Compaq!
Linux? I remember the day I loaded windows 3.0 on it.
It was really more of a "luggable" than a "portable," though. It was from the It-has-a-handle-therefore-it's-portable school of thought, I guess.
I believe you are talking aboutthis test.
Although I think it's highly questionable as to how accurate this could possibly be using uncalibrated computer monitors...
You've obviously never seen how expensive it is to get a tune up on a Ferrari.

That's odd. My IP stays the same for 8 months at a time. Perhaps the area you're in has a worse IPs/Users ratio.
