The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office.
This is an unfortunate truth. Regardless of whether or not a scientist, doctor, writer, or lawyer will make the best decision in the end. The person that will make the decision is the one that is able to get elected...not the one that is the best decision maker.
If Pro is the opposite of Con, what is the opposite of Progress?
Can you hear me now? good Can you hear me now? good. I'm getting kind of nausious. Can you hear me now? good. Severe acute pain in my head... Can you... what was I doing????
I attend Georgia Tech and personally know of a few students that were removed from a CS class and given a failing grade because they were caught cheating by the same means as this article outlays. The Computer Science department at Tech runs a program on all programs that have been turned in by CS students. Being that the programs are all turned in via FTP it makes this quite easy. The program simply looks for similarities in the programming code such as similar variable names, constants, and other similar lines of code. It then flags all programs that have similar code and then the faculty only has to look at those few programs that are similar. This works well because the students are aware of the program so they are less tempted to cheat or are forced to cheat very well, which can be just as educational in my mind.
Did you not read the article? All players must declare simultanously. They can't wait and see what the person before them chose.

It wasn't but a few weeks ago that there was an article about Georgia Tech having a wireless web network set up around its campus and there were tons of posts saying how it has already been done in multiple other universities. MIT is not the only school to be using the web like the article outlines. I know for a fact that Georgia Tech and many other schools already do this. Many professors post their lecture notes, old exams, and useful links on their classroom webpages. There are also many discussion boards for different classes where a student can post a question about a homework assignment and have either fellow students or TA's reply. Tech also has video classes were you can watch labs or recitations online with streaming video. All in all, I can't believe that everyone rants and raves about MIT finally using the internet for education while many other fine schools have been implementing it for years.
