In some of those cases I did ask, and was promptly denied for that class was a prereq for the next class. I tested out whenever possible in that type of situation.
The instructor does not need to know, if it is meaningful to him, he is a poor instructor. His job is to present the class, offering the readings and hold tests. Not to be your babysitter.
Because the student knows the subject already. I had several university classes that I was able to score a 4 in that I never bought or even saw a copy of the written material. It would have been a waste of time and money for me to buy and read those books.
How would you deal with a student that already knew the material?
He will read 0 pages, does not need intervention, has no interest in it or any other material about this topic and cannot tell if there are problems with the material or not.
So long as he knows the material there is no problem to solve.
That is a hard metric, this is an easy one. People love easy metrics, never mind if they are actually worth anything. With this you can make spreadsheets and powerpoint slides, those allow you have meetings and pretend to be important.
Again the easy thing to measure is the wrong thing. If the student read the material from this ebook has not a thing in a the world to do with the student knowing the material or not. He may have learned it in the past, he may read another book about the subject or hacked the ebook so he could read it on another device.
The danger here is substituting the easy to measure metric "Pages Read" for the much tougher "Material Understood".
His share of the responsibility is likely very low.
Shutdown the commercial operators and I bet the problem is solved. No one will do that though.
This is like charging a homeowner 100x as much as a farmer for water, then blaming the homeowner watering his lawn for water shortages. If you actually want to fix the issue you go after the bigger fish.
Hamstringing the march of human knowledge is exactly what they are designed to do. For a limited time a person is granted a monopoly in exchange for sharing that knowledge. This slow progress, but in theory prevents the loss of that information. The concept is this trade off is worth that, in practice I don't believe it often is.
People don't create to get a pantent they create to make something they can sell or use. Without patents this would still happen, as the creator would have first mover advantage.
Are any of those new point and clicks good? These are games that require a good story and characters. Making them much harder to produce then pumping out another iteration of Medal Of Duty: Call of Honor.
I disagree. People still play them, and talk about them. Monkey Island finally got a recent sequel, but it had to be done by TellTale since LucasArts had no one to do it in house.
Had LucasArts made those games instead of licensing out more and more Star Wars mmorpgs it might have survived.
For the same reason scummvm has been ported to damn near every platform and why I still play these games on brand new smartphones. Reminds me, I need to find my Full Throttle game files.
Feinstein has to be doing something, that is how she will get reelected. The NRA is willing to do anything the gun manufacturers want, that is who they really represent.
Either one will support anything that does not infringe on the groups they actually represent, the rich and the gun manufacturers respectively, the more publicity the better for them.
Hold your horses. It runs linux software, what do you think that browser is and for some folks android being linux is a selling point. For me for example, I like having busybox right on my phone.
The reality is they don't own the linux trademark, nor is helping its brand doing google any good.
1. Lots, just like the energy required to liquify the hydrogen. 2. So long as your unit of measure is not volume. 3. Not if you get your CO2 from the air.

The prof should not care, that is not his place. Either you will pass based on your efforts or fail.

Because it is worthless.

RHEL/CENTOS minimal does this just fine.
Why bother about a solved problem?
I was not being literal. I meant go after the biggest consumers of the resource.

You really think the once or twice a year crabbing the GP partakes in is what is killing the Chesapeake?

Yeah, you're right.
I was going for the funny and did not stop to think. Just pretend I was talking about methanol all along.
Why? This makes perfect sense.

What does that have to do with anything?
Chrome has X running on Linux, so not like I changed anything.
How is it not anything like GNU/LINUX?
I have one on my desk, it runs X, it has lots of linux land tools and seems to run a chroot just fine.
Hold your horses. It runs linux software, what do you think that browser is and for some folks android being linux is a selling point. For me for example, I like having busybox right on my phone.

Who actually cares?
Not everything needs a nice friendly brand.
I did not expect that level of frankness to turnip in a slashdot thread.
Yes, it is, but the joke comes from me pretending as though this is something new an amazing.
In Summary; WHOOSH!
Because the whole point is the get the volumetric energy density up to a useful point and to not have to deal with hydrogen embrittling metal.
Pure hydrogen is a PITA to deal with.
1. Lots, just like the energy required to liquify the hydrogen.
2. So long as your unit of measure is not volume.
3. Not if you get your CO2 from the air.
Yes, but the amounts required are quite different, or have been so far. Has that been fixed yet?
