That's easy. Lazy criminals get caught. Not all taggers are criminals, of course, but tagging illegally can require some pretty careful planning. I dunno where you live, but in most major cities I've been in, taggers find all kinds of crazy places to paint; which often require pretty good climbing skills.
If you start a company that produces a useful product, should it ever fail, you can use that experience, plus the product itself to distinguish yourself from other applicants. If you can show an employer that you have the drive to complete a large project, you're practically a shoe-in -- even if your idea wasn't profitable.
If by "this animal" you mean "this animal's pelt", I'd have to agree. Perhaps we could postulate some theory about badger pelts being flat. And sheets of pingpong balls sliding down ramps being flat. The possible correlations are simply stunning. We could fill a box with badgers, and try and make an avalanche. Or maybe, try and mate badgers with avalanches to make a half-badger half-avalanche mix. Ferocious little beast. Cold, too. It could be the ultimate weapon on hilly terrain. We'd finally be able to beat the Swiss with their damned knives!
I agree with you, with one modification. In-class tests are a great way to catch cheaters. A CS teacher of mine gave tests on which he'd have us write code. By hand. Weight the tests so you need to do well on the tests to pass, and ask questions regarding algorithms used in the homework. No problem.
OTOH, a great many jobs require more than one coder. I learned nothing about teamwork in college, everything is flat-out competition, every man for his own. Its self-destructive. At my last job, I was the senior programmer. I hired a guy fresh out of college. He had a competetive mindset, hated every suggestion I ever him, fought me on every requirement passed down from the boss, etc. He didn't last very long. He was replaced by a woman who had been a trucker and a waitress, and got a mail-order degree from some certification program. He could do great stuff when he put his mind to it, but she came to work every day, on time, and didn't dally for 10 minutes during the day. She was a team player, and we got the job done twice as fast as I ever could with the old guy.
Yup. Gravity causes all sorts of phenomena that we just take for granted. Flame, for instance, is spherical in space. Flexible materials like plastics, liquids, and particle board sag. This stuff is no different.
I've got ADD. The genetic kind, not the "ADHD" bullshit that "Psychiatric Therapists" (shrinks) like to throw around to keep you making more appointments.
I got bad grades in grade school. I didn't like homework. I'd lie about it to avoid doing it. I'd tinker with stuff, take it apart and put it back together. Math bored me, 'cause it was just memorization. I had no focus. Now, things are different. Why?
Karate. I've been training for 5 years now. After about my first year, I noticed a sharp improvement. I've got focus. I still get lost when people say more than about 2 sentences without pause, but when I'm working on something, I can stay focused on that.
I've even isolated what part of my training helps me focused the most. The painful part. When we stand in a single stance for 20 or 30 minutes, legs burning and shaking, where you can't do anything but stand still, or worse, keep kicking faster and faster. It hurts like hell. But as you look around, nobody else stops, so you stay in the stance, and you stay focused.
And now, when my dishes need to be washed, or I need to do my homework, or I've got something else unpleasurable to do, I do it. I don't stop 'till I'm done. And it gets done. End of story.
There are a lot of different styles of martial arts, and related physical artforms. I've tried yoga, and its generally pretty fru-fru -- even Bikram yoga, which everybody calls hardcore, is easy. Goju-ryu karate, Brazillian jiu-jitsu, muay thai, and kick your ass. I can't speak for jiu-jitsu or muay thai, but I've seen a handful of 5 year-old study at my dojo, and transform from "ADHD cases," totally undisciplined, bouncing off the wall hyper terrors, to disciplined, focused, well behaved martial artists that do my dojo proud.
Your refusal to learn is just as dumb as the lawyers refusal to learn about programming. Every weapon you can use *will* come in handy. And even if you don't use it directly, more neural links makes for a more flexible brain. But if you refuse to learn, you'll almost certainly need that knowledge in the future.
No, thats something your average cyclist can't do. I know plenty who can sit at a dead stop, balanced on their bikes. But then, I hang out with bike couriers... so thats to be expected.
When I was a senior programmer at a web service; my boss let me hand-pick my development team. I made $50k/yr, so when I received applications from PhD's, (hell, even Masters) I told them that they probably wouldn't be interested. Some persisted; I recall one older guy from 2 states over who nearly demanded an interview. So I told him that I was 21, making 1/3 of his previous salary, and that he'd be paid less than me. He graciously moved on.

Sign Language Out Loud

I studied ASL for 2 years... there's a helluva lot more to the language than hands... and much of the language would be impossible to translate with a computer.
Facial expression is nearly as important as the hands. "should" and "need" are the same sign, with a slight difference in the shape of the mouth. Its like trying to understand somebody who enunciates poorly, speaks in monotone, and doesn't pause between words or sentences...
A lot of the language relies on physical description... there's no way a computer could interpret a lot of it.
At best, this will be able to translate "SEE", or Signed Exact English. Not ASL. There's a HUGE difference. ASL is as different from English as sculpture is different from music.
Within months of the detailed analysis of Linux security, Linux will face a series of mysteriously buggy virii... which will replace every copy of the GPL with Microsoft's EULA. Then, the terminal goes blank, and says, "w3 0wn j00, l00zer".

Image is also fuzzy. The table could be vibrating. :D
Do humans have culture? I don't see much evidence of that here in the US...
Excellent idea!
If the amps are that high, voltage must be way low... but that would necessitate a transformer to get the LED to shine. Sounds wrong.
So THAT explains why my connection always gets so laggy when there's construction on the roads!

Umm... really? Check out the PDF. They tested a variety of tips.

I wish they still taught that kinda stuff in EE. They're nearly useless... but not quite. Nothing beats tubes for audio. Analog all the way, baby.
Or, that women desire to have a different iBook for everything in their wardrobe...
