Well Duh! if it isn't the first time this week then it obviously isn't the first time this year, The more logical way to say this would have been to swap the two time frames. Nice editing Tim.
Are you really so dense that you can think that having played slot machines and ending up with the same quarters, just fewer of them, somehow amounts to having "laundered" them?
Take a ten buck yagi directional antenna and you'll be amazed how far you can extend that BT range. Wouldn't be hard at all to reach it from outside the test room.
Yea, what do I care if my doctor cheated on all his exams, or my lawyer or the guy who designed the bridge that I'm driving over as I type this into my smartphone? They are the ones who are really cheated, they may make the big money but at the end of the day that don't have the satisfaction of knowing that they earned it.
And clearly a corollary is that if mommy and daddy have enough money to buy such cheats for you then you deserve to pass too, even if you are a borderline idiot and you are taking exams in critical areas like medicine or civil engineering.
While the advertising for this watch is truly disgusting, it seems really likely to only hamper lazy teachers who focus on meaningless memorization rather than comprehension. The watch doesn't do any real kind of good cheating, like let you access the Internet or other students. It just serves as a place to keep your krib sheets. And from the advertisement quote that I used in my title, I suspect the quality isn't very good either. Life is an open book test, school tests should be open book to and focus more on student comprehension rather than just the ability to memorize countless facts and formulas.
Some of the best classes I ever had were high school Physics I and II with a teacher who understood this and said that all tests were open book. He even suggested that if we didn't want to waste time flipping all through the book trying to find the right formula that we could and should make sheets of all the formulas that we thought we might need, so that we could access them quicker. The exams didn't depend on just giving back the formula or plugging in a couple single digit integers and doing grade school math, they depended on understanding the problem presented and knowing the right way to approach it. These were great classes and he was a very good teacher who understood what was really important.
Sure, you could take away all watches and have the students just use the clock on the wall, but that only encourages lazy teachers to make more poor tests based on memorization rather than comprehension. And you're likely still going to favor rich cheaters who can get the next generation of fancy cheating gimmicks over the poorer or more honest students. Far better would be to make all tests open book and open notes and require the teachers to design tests that measure comprehension, not memorization.
Why say it is lucky that Google hired a social media guy? Who wants Google to be in the social media business? I sure don't, and the evidence is that a lot of other people don't want it either.
Don't expect to get anything. Verizon is basically being fined about one cent or less per user for the privacy violation. And it is pretty clear that the FCC just wants their cut of the money that Verizon made from violating user privacy and that they will not make any effort to give you your penny. And, in case you haven't figured it out yet, a penny or less per user fine is not going to discourage this practice in the future.
I take back my Thanks. I've learned that the $40 computer costs about $49 to get from them. But I've also learned that they only accept payment through PayPal, and using PayPal in any way is against my religion. Worse, they claim to be the Exclusive US distributor, so that means that I'll have no other option.
Interesting. That is a source that I didn't know about. Thanks. But the price us already two bucks over the price being discussed here. And I was unable to determine the shipping on just the ODROID-C2 if I don't want to buy the extra junk and I don't want priority shipping (which I assume is more expensive) without filling in all of my contact information (something I've learned not to do until I decide to become a customer) So the $40 price is still meaningless and I still don't know what it would cost to get one. And sadly I don't have a MicroCenter in the area.
Stating a price doesn't matter if I can't actually buy it at that price. What does it cost to actually get one delivered that I can hold in my hand? And from someone that I can trust, not those crooks at Alibaba or the electronic bay of thieves? What is the cost to get it in my hand compared to the cost to actually hold a PI-3? And on that topic, how do I get a PI-Zero that I can hold in my hand without paying more than twice the supposed price? They might as well join the late night TV thieves and tell me that I can "get a second one absolutely free, just pay extra shipping and extra fees".
Sure, you can argue that the government insisting on crippling United States industry will only make United States corporations go dark and that unbreakable encryption is certainly a capability of industry outside the United States. But you are foolish if you do. That would simply allow the government to continue to pretend this is about ISIS. Clearly it isn't, it is about the government's war against its own citizens.
Lets just be clear, Disney's stated goal towards Copyright Law is to Subvert the U.S. Constitution and see that the clause where works eventually pass into Public Domain (a benefit the public is to receive in return for giving Copyright Protection to Authors) never actually applies.
Manufacturing pollutes. But not all pollutes the same. I've seen data that shows, when you look at the complete supply & production chain, that the Prius is a much dirtier car than similar size gasoline cars. Even the all electric (European) VW Passat GTE Plug-in seems to be dirtier to produce. Don't know about the Tesla yet but would love to see a thorough study.
Yup, very flawed logic there, but they don't want to admit that low gas prices may keep their fairy tale of "clean cars" from happening. They also just want to look at the problem of pollution coming from gas cars but not the pollution created during the manufacturing of electric cars. And they live in the dream world where all future energy will come from clean renewable sources. If that comes to pass then they can gloat, but it seems more likely we will end up burning more oil to make electricity and transport and store it and use at low efficiency than we would just to burn the fuel in the car, not to mention the chances of using coal or nuclear to make a lot of that more demanded than ever energy to feed all of those EV's, with the extra pollution problems or the nuclear waste and safety problems.
The original article and the/. headline used the spelling, I chose to use that spelling. Clearly @whichhillary is so on target because it reflects both her duplicitous nature and, through a homophone, her service to the devil. And NO, homophone is not a reference to her sexual preference.
Don't you even understand that the site pointed out the two faced nature of the bitch? The Republicans would not be the one to try to silence anyone over this. Only the Which herself or #WarlockBubba would do that. Now that it has been explained to you, do you still consider it a violation of the First Amendment and a dirty trick, or has it somehow now become a virtuous act?
I don't think the Republicans were the ones responsible for suspending an account that pointed out the two faced nature of the Democratic candidate. I also don't think it was the commie Bernie. Maybe you need to look a little closer to home, either the Which herself or #WarlockBubba.
He may be just beating the rush, ditching his Apple phones before everyone else catches on that the government has been and will continue to get into them. Also, he might take offense that Apple already has a back door into the phone, as this debate makes it clear that Apple can "update" and thus change the software in the phone without any interaction or approval on the part of the user. To me that's enough of a reason to switch to a phone that really can be secured.

Brilliant. Use the machines to exchange the quarters for fewer quarters. Sounds like you are a true criminal mastermind.

Right. Rich kids don't cheat and the watch doesn't even really exist.

Internet censorship doesn't work?? Oh, come on! Next you'll be trying to tell us that Ebay is a bunch of crooks.
Ebay only takes action against illegal things when there is bad press.

Hey, we thought that 1 in 5 sounded like a nice believable number. How dare you question it. We looked at at least three surveys to come up with this.
I'll believe it when it happens. I think it is just a bogus attempt by ISIS to try to win American's favor.
