Definitely not my friend. I hadn't had a partner on a project in grad school until that point. I became rather depressed because I think his represents the usual attitude about school. I didn't report him or anything. I think it's too widespread to be stopped or even worked against. I just wrote a new paper. I preferred to write it myself anyway. I figured he'll be freeloading off others the rest of his life... might as well give him a little more practice. It's a sad fate for him. I felt sorry for him.
The nice thing is, that when you actually do write a paper yourself, you can go back and show all the revisions and work to your accusers. You can then offer to sit and write a new and similar paper from scratch while they watch. You could even show them your git repo containing all the edits. If you copy it from various web pages, your complete lack of writing ability will become evident pretty quickly during any investigations or follow up questions.
Your entire post makes a lot of really bad assumptions. I wrote a long outline of everyting the first draft should contain. I picked the topic and did all the research -- including a long list of papers and appropriate ideas to draw from them. I made the entire presentation and wrote that from scratch, and I interfaced with the professor many times to get the topic figured out. In short, before he "wrote" the first draft (which he copied from various web pages without bothering to change a single word) I had already done something like 40 horus of work. I then turned around and did 40 more writing the a new paper from scratch. So I ended up doing 80 hours of work by myself and he got an A because I didn't report him for plagerism or get him kicked off my team.
Sorry for not spelling out for you. I didn't think it was relevant.
I dunno about playing both sides of the fence... I used a service very much like this to detect that my partner in my last class had plagerized all 12 pages of our research paper. I was greatful to have spent the $5 and immediately wrote a new paper from scratch. What an asshole. Am I naive to think most students would use the service this way?
I wouldn't say nobody. Every new little thing with graphene is just as amazing as the last. It's likely going to revolutionize all the fields people claim in the near future. In any case, I certainly do care about it.
So we get one try and when it doesn't work, oh well, let's keep burning coal and burying otherwise usable fuels? Yes, nuclear is dangerous, but I bet even the japanese use more and more of it in the future. You have to get electricity from somewhere and throwing away fuel that was only 1% spent doesn't make any sense to me.
The fact is, there would be more of these reactors if the government would allow fuel reprocessing -- Carter shutdown that program for reasons unclear to me. Was it because he was afraid of developing rich plutoniums? Was he afraid of nuclear in general? I don't really know, but nobody has reversed that decision either -- they just make too much sense. If you're going to have nuclear at all, it doesn't make sense to stop with the slow reactions and then throw away what's left. None of the original designs expected that. They expected to then later reprocess the "spent" fuels to make fuels for the faster reactors.
So it's not fair to say nuclear isn't cost effective. If you cut off the program at the knees, of course it's hard to make it work. I'm not addressing at all the problems with meltdowns, environmental carnage, and initial cost overruns with the first few reactors. Nuclear has plenty of problems, and I'm not sure it's wise at all. I'm leaning toward yes, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere near it.
All I'm saying is that if we worked up the nerve to build these things (lol 70' towers of liquid sodium, not in my backyard); then it would be a lot more cost effective, and storing the "waste" would be less of a problem.
it would make a lot more sense if they could ever get permission to build fast breader reactors and use the nuclear "waste" as fuel in the second type of reactor.
I can't believe they backed down on that then. You can't install the kindle software except through the app store (or by being a nerd); so in return apple gets a 30% cut of your revenue if you have the nerve to sell the next book in the app itself? Fuck Apple.
Seems they just have to mark up a little for in app purchases. The free market will do the rest. My landline bill shows the something like 30% cut the government gets. Well, your amazon receipt should show that too imo.
The hardware sucked, there's no question. I had three phones in two years and thanked my stars I had the phone insurance each time. I didn't have any phone system crashes like that, and suspect it was your carrier's comcard or possibly the drivers for it. Who really knows. Another really common hardware problem that bugged me to death was the headphone port. Occasionally, often enough to be really really irritating, it would fail to sense the removal of the wire and your audio would be essentially disabled until you 1) blow in the hole and 2) replug a few times.
There were many problems with the platform. All of them, I think, were due to a combination of resource problems at Palm (hence the ensuing bankruptcy) and a very very low adoption rate.
Ultimately, I don't think you read my post very carefully at all though since I switched *TO* android last week. So it's the same way around.:p
Yes, that's it exactly. And other things like it. There's some things WebOS could learn from android too though. Admit it. The launcher was limited. Oh well. I may go back to WebOS some day. By then it might have a better launcher. If it's still so damn dev friendly, I know I'll go back. I just won't let the hardware pick my provider.
I'm a devoted and loyal WebOS fan. It's better than Android, subjectively speaking. The appstore doesn't have nearly as much stuff though, and the device on sprint is dated and barely functions by today's standard. I grew extremely tired of waiting to see if (not when, but if) HP would finally release the pre3 on sprint. As the summer wore on, I finally broke down and got an EVO 3d. I really like Android. It's fantastic. I like WebOS better, and I think Android could learn a lot from it. The card paradigm is much better than what we have in Android land. I also think the android hardware peeps could learn something about the HP/Palm love for developers. It's a fantastic platform to develop for and rooting your phone doesn't void your warranty -- it's literally supported (search for webos doctor).
So overall, I'm happy I switched, but WebOS is clearly better. Clearly better if you can handle being a second class citizen on your network of choice (not sprint, apparently). Ultimately, I left WebOS to stay with sprint. It goes the other way too. See precentral for the split. Seems 60/40 to me? But in any case, HP is too damn slow. Mobile is fast. The I cannot wait three years for my next device. HP (or possibly sprint) has failed.
Are you sure? "Most cases aren't a slam dunk in either direction" and "random at best" seem pretty similar to me. In any case, I expect we mostly agree if the text gets long enough, so it seems like a silly argument to have.
I actually said that. I hinted around about the fact that the outcome can rarely be foreseen beforehand. But I think the most likely of the choices were along the lines of: Z: my defense would cost more than this, fuck it, give them $60 rather than risk losing. And W: I doubt I can win this, I might as well take the $60 and then go back on the agreement and try to get it jammed in the court again to try to make maybe another $60 even if my arguments are pure bs and likely to get thrown out.
I have little or no opinion about whether Z is a criminal or W deserves more money. All I was saying is that you can't actually tell if someone is guilty because they settle. It's probably a cost issue for the big player, who has to pay either way. The little guy probably only has to pay the lawyer if they win, and then the lawyer gets half the winnings. I find it more likely than anything that the lawyers for the little guys were saying: ahh, I don't think we can win this, we should take the offer.
My feeling is that they did this so they could make the fast cash and run rather than having to actually work for it. And I still don't think it says anything about the merits of the case.
I've seen lawyers work many times and it's never like law and order, it's always arguments between council away from the bench that go like this, "C'mon.... C'mon.... C'mon"... woo hoo, we got an agreement.
Sorry, you're thinking of a tradeschool, not a university degree. A university degree produces a well rounded, also called "educated" person. If all you're interested in is the computer stuff, then by all means, learn it. You don't need professors for that.
Actually, I'm pretty sure a settlement is where you bribe the plaintiff to leave you alone for less than the cost of your defense (aka army of high paid lawyers). Doesn't really have anything to do with what you think the verdict might turn out to be, which is random at best regardless of the truth the opposing councils have sworn to seek.

Were that the case, we wouldn't really need juries at all.

I wrote the paper even if he wrote the first draft, see my comment far below.
False. I just didn't tell you the whole store. See above.

I couldn't actually parse that. I spent some time on it, but I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Sorry.
Nonsense. When Mr. Gates isn't talking about Microsoft or Windows, he seems to be a very likable and smart public policy nerd and philanthropist.
