To be really successful over the long haul you have to be capable of both producing the report from scratch AND be capable of copying it from somewhere else while presenting it as your own to save valuable time. So, really the correct way to go through CS in school is to be able to do it but cheat anyway, and since you know how to do it then you should be able to change the copied code enough to not get caught. If that takes longer than actually creating the code from scratch, and it will be pretty close if you're ensuring not to get caught, then go ahead and create it from scratch.
Why would the house, online or otherwise, bother rigging a game that is already in their favor in the first place? That would be rigging it twice. If anything, an online casino should be able to give you better odds (still bad odds though) because they don't have to pay for a building, dealers, etc.
Yeah, sounds like that second one would fulfill the requirements. Unlike a lot of other tech contests like the X Prize and Netflix, I don't think the contest is meant to stump a lot of the competition. So, the question becomes whether or not the code is simple enough and underhanded enough to be the absolute best out of however many hundreds of entries there will be.
I wonder how much of this IT failure is actually user (non-IT) failure? From experience, the amount of user error that becomes an IT problem is far greater than the actual IT problems. Also, these are user failures that generally cannot be prevented by IT using error catching or better UI by the way.
Thinking about it, I doubt very much that humans millennia ago smelled dead human and though, "Hey, I wonder what killed him. I'm going to go see."
I guess we have now evolved to that point? Or maybe past it, "Hey, I wonder what killed him. I'm going to go see, and we'll base a CSI episode off of it."

If a kid is smarter than his parents, maybe he should be put in charge of restricting his parent's media content (maybe reality TV, Deal or No Deal, 20/20 are all off limits).
One must wonder why such a skilled aviator was taking a gamble with such hostile conditions, given that he was looking for a flat stretch of land to race cars on, but that is one mystery we shall probably never know the answer to."
Even if we did know the answer, I doubt it would be very interesting. It's probably a little of Steve being an adrenaline junkie mixed with underestimating the danger.
In other words, are we 'too in love with the hacker ideal of the 1980s to produce programmers who are truly prepared for today's real-life business environment?
I don't know, but us IT guys save A TON of money riding a skateboard everywhere, and it's environmentally friendly! Who's laughing now?
For some reason I just don't think the MMORPG junkies will be able to tear themselves away for a whole day. Or the daytraders. China has daytraders, right?
I doubt the Slashdotters would be able to tear themselves away for a whole day either (except me, I can stop at any time).
Polaroid is trying to bring back the instant photo, in the form of a small digital camera/printer that can instantly print your digital photo. Sounds pretty cool actually! Polaroid Pogo

Pay them?
It's a good thing, you really don't want to see the Slashdot effect on a teleportation device.
... this is the internet... Isn't the apostrophe in the title supposed to be further to the left? :|
So, you're complaining that correct grammar was used?
You're like the opposite of a Grammar Nazi, or an incompetent one!

...OK, OK, maybe it's simpler to just not cheat.

Just for you: Yes they did.
No countries listen to the WTO/UN/etc. What are they going to do, sanction them?
There's not a restraining order for that!
So, SkyNet is a kitteh... it all makes sense now.
I actually do pay use tax, and the fact that no one else does really makes me feel like a chump.
I'm sure the IRS does a little happy dance every time they see that someone actually paid their use tax! At least you should never ever be audited.
If comments even exist, then the code is ugly. Code should document itself.
(Any good Perl programmer knows this.)
I guess the Roach Motel of Tech implies bad things about your data.
Cruel joke, but...

I bet some rich guy buys one of them as a chew toy for his dog.
Dogs As Intelligent As Average Two-Year-Old Children.
But a cat is capable of using the Internet (not to mention framing his owner). Sorry, dog owners, cats are clearly smarter!

I remember a similar case when Coke sued Coke Zero. It was all over TV a couple years ago.
Business people reading a 15-year-old's commentary on what teenagers think about products aimed at teenagers? Is this really a new concept?
Wait, if this catches on, maybe next they'll ask programmers what they think about technology projects in the workplace?!
