To test them, they're going to ask a student to pretend to be doing something that is really not anything special but that any over zealous paranoid security officer would love to think it is a security threat.
It would be nice for long courses. But I do not believe not many people will really be using it except netmaniacs that spend 12+hour daily on the net (like me) or business people who need to be constanly online (oh... like me too). Other people will rather take a nap and not even bother turning the laptop on.
What about connection speeds? Data limits? Which satellites? Connection stability?
You know how the chinese people will get there first? They will climb one upon another, stepping on the shoulders, one chinese above one chinese, above another, above another, above another...
precisely. I was gonna mention that, but you beat me to it. It has been known for quite some time. The author either has been fairly disconnected from the world or was being ironic in an highly subtle way.

No matter what the future brings, the big sharks of information management will always find something others find worthy of outsourcing.
Entire companies have been moving their corporate email to Google. One company I worked at last year did that. Can't say much of the experience, since I left shortly after.
Nevertheless, I believe a lot of the universities that focus their courses on technology will choose to keep managing their own email systems as they also use it as learning/teaching/training tools and real world use cases.
Vista: "Hey XP, I want your seat!" XP: "No way dude! I got here first! I had all that work getting those W2k users highly dependent on me. It's mine now." Vista: "Come on, I look better. You're doomed now anyway. Just make it easier." XP: "Get stuffed."
Yes, ASUS violated it, but can we have less sensational headline until AFTER someone ask them to comply and they refused??
That seems a wiser attitude to me. Awaiting flames and playing devil's advocate, they may even have just forgotten it or published it somewhere on the mess of their site or ftp.
that was precisely my point with my previous post... it was seeded with a few drops of irony. While it is true that many good things have come up from this type of competition, it is also true that many good things have been shelfed exactly because of the same reason.
The system is broken? Yes. Does it promote lawsuits and massive fortunes? Yes.
BUT!
In a way, it does promote innovation. The companies that find themselves halted by the existence of a particular patent are forced to one of the following
a) either they innovate in such a way that they get around the problem by creating some new service/product/technique to achieve the same, similar or an acceptable substitute result or b) they innovate in the language and law research by using legal rabbit holes to circumvent existent patents
This kind of remind me of the "Blue Boxes" in The Pretender series... they had a whole lot of portable storage devices spread across the USA that were all linked together and syncronized every (IIRC) friday with the "The Center"'s mainframe.
Taking into account that 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people and that 20% of the work has 80% importance...
In one hand, not mentioning their respective jobs, makes the ones with more meaningless tasks feel more useful and important for being listed as equal as those that did the most. But that may end up making the ones that had to work harder feel that their work had less meaning.
On the other hand, mentioning the jobs, will make the ones that did the most important part feel their importance, but may at the same time make the ones that have less important tasks feel demoralized and loose productivity. And that may well revert in delaying all the work...
If I'm not mistaken, Unreal 2, at the end, lists people involved with their respective jobs. Don't know if this has any effect, though.
But that's a whole lot of different politics,a whole lot of different cheats and a whole lot of different game bugs.

Is it my dislexy or your getting it wrong? Your attributting the same values and not inverting the ranges as the example you contradicted does.

Tou were so right on this one...
"Mastery-oriented children think intelligence is malleable and can be developed through education and hard work. Challenges are energizing rather than intimidating offering opportunities to learn."
Hey! I said that! I should be asking royalties.
"Let's get away before we begin making fools of ourselves."
Too late.
The CEOs for all the create IT companies are in a room. A big room.
Suddenly someone screams "Hey, look at the news, it says here that PlayStation 2 Game ICO Violates the GPL!"
And then everyone laughs and cries out "who doesn't?"
It's already beyond common practice.

The "I'm feeling lucky" button is there to remind us that the Google execs are really the ones feeling lucky with those fat wallets.
So lucky they can even afford to loose those big 110...

And then, when an android commits a crime, it gets executed by lethal wetning and you are sent the bill for those drops of water.
