Any prof who is this anal deserves to have students cheat. Usually they are too preoccupied counting lines of spacing that they completely overlook what the assignment is really supposed to teach.
Just like the subjects of the UK want it to be. Americans are no different, in that regard. Promise them a little more security and they'll happily give up all of their rights. And they (as a whole) vote accordingly.
The problem is, there is no place in the luxury market for Saab. When people want a luxury car, they think Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, etc. They have long since forgotten about Saab, Cadillac or Lincoln. Brands that don't evolve will die off. Saab needs to be taken off life support.
Within about 10 years or less, patent litigation will be the ONLY line of business left for former U.S. tech giants. All innovation will take place elsewhere, as it largely is already. You'll know this time is near once Microsoft loses their monopoly on the PC desktop, which they inevitably will.
This isn't surprising, since Rambus's only real product is patent-trolling. Their products have always been shitty, so they make up for it by litigating. This company could not die soon enough.
One reason I don't like to upgrade to newer versions of IE is because they seem to have HUGE memory leaks. Although I almost always use Firefox, I do need to keep IE around for certainly pain-in-the-ass poorly designed sites that require it. IE 7 takes FOREVER to open and close, especially if it has been left open a long time. There must be memory leaks large enough to drive a truck through. What is Microsoft's excuse for this?
I've negotiated numerous credit card limit increases simply by calling them up and asking. Never been turned down. Then again, I don't do it terribly often; usually just to raise the initial low limit on a new card.
My guess is that your company data is not that important to anyone outside the company. Hackers can always get your customers' SSN somewhere else. Got to love that overly paranoid excessive security, where someone who wishes he worked at the NSA tries to make up for it by imposing NSA-style security at his little podunk software company.
Anyone who has a problem with this should simply not use their services. There is certainly no law that states a company cannot cooperate with police without a search warrant. Especially when they disclose this in their terms of service.

Sun hasn't amounted to jack shit since 2001. The burst of the .com bubble exposed the emperor's lack of clothing.
What would it take to modernize our banking system? Its 2010; paper checks should hardly ever be necessary anymore.
Maybe we should require a license for publicly expressing ideas to weed out damn fools like Craig who propose completely impractical bullshit.
Why bother to pay for a subscription just to be able to post racist trolls 5 minutes before anyone else?

Since when do you have a right to complete silence on public transportation?

People talk on the phone while driving. Get over it.
Good riddance. TomTom = worst GPS ever!

In other words, your organization wants to buy a Mercedes at Ford Focus prices. This is so very common in the "non profit" world.
Exactly. Microsoft long ago passed the point of having to care about what people think of them.
"guaranteed bug free code"
Hah; sure it is. Even good dev shops cannot achieve this feat.
Once you turn it down and start to walk out, I bet they suddenly throw in the services "free".

The UN wouldn't exist if it weren't for the US. Who else would fight their wars (oops, I mean peacekeeping missions)?
If you cannot secure a network due to developers having local admin on their development boxes, you are not a competent admin.

You know you're on Slashdot when this is what passes for a sex discussion.
Poopst!
I wish they'd bring this back. It would be fun and profitable to game the system.
