Or the professor could collect hundreds of questions and let the system randomly select so no two students have the same questions. Questions could be cumulative meaning that next semesters questions could be any of the 300 from last semester or one of the 100 from this one. Eventually there would be thousands of questions. Making it harder to cheat each semester.
The rest, well they showed up on the wifi scan and most surprised me. Heck, all the Whataburgers now have open wifi's. I never would have thought that a chain like Wataburger would have open wifi.
I personally use open wifi connections, they are about as anonymous as you can get. I picked up a 10" google pad with GPS, installed the software and took a drive. They are all over the place, that is assuming you dont use the open one at the local bar, Denny's, McDonalds, Cigar club, Starbucks, etc, etc, etc.
If you look, you will find that open and available wifi connections are easy to find, completely anonymous, and fun. Fun because it is amazing what people will share on there local network with an open wifi connection;)
KDE has had a search function like this for years. It is great, however... you have to know what you are looking for. Take a simple example of opening a console. We know it is called a console or terminal, or rxvt, or xterm, etc.. however a new user may not think of a term window, they may think "I need a command window" however, typing command windows does not display terminals.
Ill admit that this example can be handled with a lot of research using users who have never used linux before and asking them to type stuff.
Personally, I have gone over to using a panel with the most common apps on it and the search for stuff I use less often. However, I still use the menu from time to time to look up stuff that I just can't remember the name of.
Their are some types of Guns that are illegal, ( automatic weapons) because it is almost impossible to use them for legal purposes ( other then perhaps target practice if you are someone who enjoys that kind of thing) . But just because something MIGHT be used in an illegal fashion is not justification for preventing it's reasonable legal use.
Ummm, There are a lot of uses for Automatic weapons. Predator hunting comes to mind, and no not the movie, Hogs, Big cats, etc.
It is kinda funny, the National Firearms act was passed to regulate what were considered "gangster weapons" however, farmers had been using automatic weapons for some 20 years to control varmints and predators on their ranches. Heck they banned silencers in the same law but in many countries silencers are mandatory for hunting because it reduces the decibels of the gun shot to below that which does damage to the human ear. So it is safer for the hunter in the long run if he uses a silencer.
The whole point here is that for every "Illegal" intent, there are several "Legal" ones They tried to get VCR's banned because people could record TV shows and they (MPAA) insisted that it would lead to wide spread pirating. This is the same dance just a new tune.
If they are used for pirating then the problem may not be the service, it may lie somewhere else.
What they are talking about is a terry stop. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_stop) They can stop and frisk you for weapons based on reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity.
Just because it happened to me once, they can have a "reasonable suspicion" that you are going to j-walk because you are walking down the side walk!
You will find that they can find "reasonable suspicion" in just about anything. S/His eyes were blood shot (Drunk or stoned), S/He looks out of place in this neighborhood, and my all time favorite "Three white guys under 25 at the mall must be there to cause trouble"
Note that "Reasonable Suspicion" is defined as a point where the investigating officer has weighed the totality of the circumstances to determine whether sufficient objective facts exist to create reasonable suspicion. VERY open and abused quite regularly in my opinion.
One of the patents that Microsoft uses in these type cases is “loading status in a hypermedia browser having a limited available display area” Seems to me this is way too vague to be a valid patent.
It would be cool if Linux could read the restore partition, identify the hardware from the stored data, configure it self with the parameters that windows has stored in the refresh image, then build a custom refresh image from the data.
Then we have one button refresh to a Linux based system! No muss, no fuss, simple install at the push of a button.
But I bet Microsoft designs the image in such a way as to encrypt it so that Linux can not do it.
Umm, Last I looked the margin of error for the caucus vote was listed at 2.0% to 3.7% not 0.5% to 1.0%.
Which means that it was a three way tie.
My numbers came from the reports at NBC and CBS so they are published news reports and not direct statistical data, and you can decided how much you want to trust the news from NBC and CBS.
Personally, with a difference of less that 3% of the vote between the three I am looking forward to the next caucus vote. It is a bit exciting to see where this goes.
I agree, The best one I have seen so far was to hot glue IR Diodes to the brim of a baseball cap and wire them to a small battery pack inside the cap. All of the cameras are extremely sensitive to IR (So they can see at night) and it has the effect of whiting out your face to the camera but being unseen by anyone else.
Wait tell they figure out that they can get a guy in India to do the lecture on video for 1/2 the price. Then we will outsource the professors as well.
Last time I re-flashed one of them, they sent me a link to download the image and it was everything. Including the source. But I have not done that in about a year.
I have several FlyTouch pads from China. The new ones are dual touch with 1ghz processors in a 7" format and are running around 80$ including shipping. They are google Android and they will send you the android image. Re-flashing is as easy as putting the image on an sd card and booting the unit with the sd card in it.
Not the greatest in the world but they are very good for around the house network access, book reading, hacking, etc.
AC, you have good points but I would counter with the fact that with PC games you have to make sure you have a current/correct OS, enough memory, a fast enough CPU, and a video card that will support it.
With a game console it is as easy as xxx is for the PS3 so it will work.
Also, are we forgetting price? What did the gaming system cost compared to the cost of a PS3?
$10??? Try a 50% discount. Need to lock them in early then they are always on windows. This would be a major plus for Microsoft, Guaranteeing there market share.

Ill go one better, the system gets hacked and the following returns are kicked out
Barack Obama (D) 0%
Mitt Romney (R) 0%
Ron Paul (I) 0%
Mickey Mouse (M) 100%
That would be this one.

Shhhh, stop telling them my secret. I work hard to through them off the scent and you go and give it away.
Ok, that is funny...
Cigars, yes

So they are starting to catch up with the ext3 filesystem.
I hate to point this out, but the CEO's of today are the generation that gave us Hippies and "Tune in, turn on, and drop out"
This is what you get when you put hippies in charge, they take all they can and leave a mess for some one else to clean up.

It is not false advertising, it is called bait and switch. Which is still illegal EULA or no EULA. Legal contracts can not change the law.
When can we go ice fishing there? I would love to see what we catch.... Wonder if it tastes good?

Back with Windows 3.1 went to Windows 95, I went from Windows 3.1 to Linux.
Most say they are on windows for the games well, I have a PS2, PS3, Wii, and Xbox360 for games. Less hassles and plays on the big screen.
Ill admit that I was a VERY early adopter of Linux and I have never regretted it. It has been a struggle at times, but well worth it.
I would sign that petition!
$10??? Try a 50% discount. Need to lock them in early then they are always on windows. This would be a major plus for Microsoft, Guaranteeing there market share.
I am waiting for the LSDN
