"creme delay (sic) creame (sic)"... Please, don't make me laugh. With spelling like that, it shows you got a GED ("good enough degree", which pretty much any high school dropout can get) and while you (in your own words) went on to study at a crappy university in the UK, they booted your sorry ass out.
"It is our democratic right!" a thin, addled-looking man named Pratap Singh once said to me as he stood, chai in hand, outside his university in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. "Cheating is our birthright."
Corruption in the university exam system is common in this part of India. The rich can bribe their way to examination success. There's even a whole subset of the youth population who are brokers between desperate students and avaricious administrators.
Then there's another class of student altogether, who are so well known locally - so renowned for their political links - invigilators dare not touch them. I've heard that these local thugs sometimes leave daggers on their desk in the exam hall. It's a sign to invigilators: "Leave me alone... or else."
Everything I wrote is borne out by a quick search. You can get a degree in India without attending class or knowing shit.
The question is, what's the solution? When pro-cheating rallies were held in Uttar Pradesh in the early 1990s, the state's chief minister gave in to demands and repealed an anti-copying act - he actually allowed students to cheat.
More than 3000 students of 20 law colleges in the eastern Indian state of Orissa have boycotted their final university examination and demonstrated in protest against a ban on copying.
The students turned against teachers when they were stopped from copying inside examination halls this week.
Authorities called in police for help.
"On frisking in the presence of the police, we found almost all students carrying books and photocopied notes hidden on their body," education official Radhanath Mishra, said from the state capital of Bhubaneswar.
"We asked them to hand over all the illegally smuggled study materials. But they did not listen to us."
When authorities seized the smuggled notes and books with the help of police, the students turned violent and left the examination halls in protest.
According to reports, students of almost all law colleges ready to take the same examination around the state protested in a similar way demanding they be allowed to "resort to cheating" during the examination.
Students of the University Law College of Bhubaneswar and Madhusudan Law College of Cuttack blocked the Calcutta-Madras national highway for more than three hours and burnt tyres protesting against the authority's decision to be "strict" during law exams this year.
Blocking traffic by burning tires for the "right to cheat" - only students who can't pass the exams (which is the vast majority of them) have to resort to cheating. And the "best" students are the ones most likely to have cheated or used intimidation, because it's easier to get a perfect score that way.
Psychiatrists and psychologists have the same First Amendment rights as anyone else. That includes freedom to express their opinions and beliefs. The fact that this survey, crappy as it is, exists, should be proof enough.
Oh, and transsexual women have the highest rate of HIV/AIDS of any demographic in the US. 26â..., according to the CDC. That's what you get when more than half engage in the sex trade both before and after SRS. That's what happens when you let yourself be ridden bareback like a cheap race horse. That's a toxic behavior nobody wants to address because it wouldn't be politically correct.
Doesn't protect them from the consequences of higher rates of smoking and binge drinking among the LGBT. Much higher. This impacts both longevity and quality of life - and not in a good way.
People keep saying there was no money. Harry Mudd sold stuff for money all the time.
Also, the first airing was on September 6th, in Canada, nor September 8th in the US. If US ratings had matched Canadian ratings over the 3 year run, the Enterprise would have completed its 5 year mission. The show had cheesy special effects but it didn't need CGI to distract viewers from lousy (or nonexistent) storylines, or the too-earnest political correctness infusing everything that made me avoid the next generation after 1 episode.
The odds that we are at the centre of the universe are a lot less than the odds that they gave for everything being directionless. Speculation about the universe when we know we can neither see all of it nor know how much we don't see is ad silly as a child covering it's eyes and thinking you can't see him any more.
It goes out if the station goes off the air or if I lose power. Otherwise, it's pretty robust. Fewer links in the chain that can break compared to streaming.
So is microwaving food. So is TV. So is pasteurized milk. So are condoms, birth control pills, toothpaste, pens and pencils, gasoline, diesel, atomic energy, wind and water power, farming, chemical warfare (WW1 mustard gas), antibiotics, soap, clothing, ovens, baking and cookbooks, baking powder as a leavening agent, sliced bread, sliced bacon (mmm... bacon!), saran wrap, mylar, communications satellites (anyone remember the echo communications satellites made from mylar?), transatlantic cables, electricity, toasters, movies, paper and cardboard, plywood, nails made from rods (instead of the hand cut nails shaved from a chunk of iron), screws, nuts, needles and thread, false teeth, glasses, etc.
You left out the safety pin that you have to move along the razor blade edge until you heard a radio station. For skeptics, it's the same as people who receive radio signals in their fillings. And if you don't know what a safety pin or a safety razor blade are, you missed some of the fun of simple experiments as a kid.
So what? What if the flaw is only in the newer library? Or the patched library is incompatible with your software? And you don't have to patch every security flaw in a library - if your application is never calling that portion of the library that has the security bug, screw it - it's totally unnecessary to patch and recompile since the portion that's flawed will never be run.
My Motorola G has been dropped onto asphalt face down and not even a scratch. Apple doesn't have a monopoly on Gorilla Glass, and having a plastic body to absorb shock rather than a metal case helps. The metal bodies are a dumb idea that increases cost, reduces scratch resistance, and doesn't offer increased strength ("am I bending it right?"). Style over function isn't smart. It's just a phone/laptop, made by the same manufacturers that make everyone else's phones and laptops.
So, expensive laptops that you'll upgrade rather than pay to install a new battery and not have your machine while they do it. Losers. Now that the reviews of the iPhone 7 are in, everyone is saying that Apple is no longer an innovator. They're right. Apple stock is down more than 2% the day after their announcement and it's only 10 am.
Better to dump the hardware lines and sell only software. The manufacturers already do the hardware at very low margins, and people aren't going to continue to let Apple charge a premium for what is now just another phone or computer at the hardware level.
People were making unibody phones long before Apple made a smartphone. Remember the "candybar" form factor phones? And the really big unibody phones that looked like industrial walkie-talkies? All unibody. Flip phones were a later innovation.
The two are far from equivalent. You can get a degree in India in one year, and if your parents are well connected you don't have to attend classes - just the threat of losing your job is enough to make teachers give us pass. And cheating is just part of the system. Like in the US, there are good schools and diploma mills. Your outsourcer is heavy on the latter - it's the only way that they can complete with the other diploma mill loaded outsourcing firms. Once everything is outsourced, why go to school anyway? To get more debt for a jobless future? Excessive outsourcing should be seen as a national security issue. You outsource too much, not only do you gut your economy, but you become dependent on other countries that may not have your views. Look at China and the China Sea spat, their position on Taiwan and their theft of technology to dump high quality specialized steel in the market. Blame Nixon for opening the door.

So what? Email is useless for contacting my kids friends because they do not use it.
Why do you want to contact your kid's friends? You one of those creepy parents?
Cheating is pretty visible.. Indian students who feel they have a right to cheat.

Institutionalized cheating ... and look what happens when they try to stop it

There's no staic with FM radio either. It's not AM.

Submit better stories. Problem solved. Except that is harder than just botching and moaning.

FM radio is old fashioned grandpa technology.
So is microwaving food. So is TV. So is pasteurized milk.

And if you don't know what a safety pin or a safety razor blade are, you missed some of the fun of simple experiments as a kid.
And let's not forget that radio uses less battery juice than streaming music.

It was a real thing - which is why Apple had to change the design of the case by thickening the weak area. They also replaced bent phones.
It doesn't when you can't do a hard reset using the buttons. Same with laptops. Sometimes you just have to cut all power.
Teach you to use both hands when using your phone while using the toilet.

They don't do a good job. That is sufficient reason to avoid them.
Email works across all devices and all platforms. It also uses up far less bandwidth than Facebook, and you can even host your own email server.
