Having this semesters test is cheating. Having last semesters test just tells you what to think about. No half way decent professor gives the same test repeatedly. Looking at previous tests tells you things like, "this professor like esoteric differential equations". Therefore you know to brush up on all the weird diffs that can be thrown at you. No copying, but plenty of preparation.
I'm not sure doing historical research for the course is cheating. I know the first thing I do in any task, job or school related is to find out what was done before. Hell, for most courses I've taken, prior exams are just about the only way to get an idea of what a particular professor thinks is important. The homework just covers too much material to study it all.
That's more of an Army specific thing. It is virtually impossible to accomplish anything in the Army without skirting, bending, or ignoring one or more regulations. It isn't uncommon to run across situations in the US Army where there are mutually exclusive regulations such that there is no possible course of action that doesn't violate a regulation. Thus, if your not cheating, your not actually trying to get anything done.
They are still assholes after you need one. You just have to pray that it will cost less to pay your asshole than to get screwed by the other guy's dick.
This is pretty much the standard way cities run these things. You did forget to mention that the "court costs" to fight the $100 fine will probably be $150-$200. For most "administrative" crimes it is more expensive to be innocent than guilty. Of course you have to prove your innocence as well. Good luck with that.
The only reason Britain didn't have troops in that many countries is because Britian annex them into the British Empire. When the US starts annexing those 100-150 countries, then we will start to be in the same imperial league as the British Empire.
Read up on the fall of Carthage. The US did not go from house to house raping every woman we could find. The US did not sell 50,000 Afghans into slavery. The Afghan cities were not razed to the ground so that no building was left standing.
The British did conquer Afghanistan on their second try, put in place a friendly ruler and got 30 years of peace out of there while preventing Russian influence from spreading south. They pretty much accomplished all their strategic goals. There was quite a massacre during the first Afghan war though.
I believe the parent included all your observations when he said that AT&T would be able to make back their investment. You normal 500 person business has to make do with good service and quality products. They just can't realize enough gain to make having a "brand" worth while. A "Brand" is something that requires a large scale organization to be effective.
I'm with you on the end subsidies part. I would like to end them for ethanol production as well. I'm not with you for creating subsidies for anyone else. The PV industry is growing and doing large quantities of research, it should be left alone to find the most efficient and economical methods. At the current rate, most of the country will be economical for PV within the next decade.
Your link mentions "Insufficient government grants for solar power purchase". When one of your major obstacles to adoption is that the customer actually has to pay for the product, you don't have a very good product. I've done the cost/benefit analysis of current PV installation. There are specific geographic areas where it is cost effective(Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, western texas, a couple others). Most of the US does not have intense enough sunlight(Alaska, Montana, ect..) often enough and/or two much cloud cover(the south) for current PV to be worth the cost. As costs decrease and efficiency increases PV will become more widely relevant. Odds are it will never be very useful in Alaska.
One of the major sectors looking at UAVs is municipal mapping/surveying departments. It is very expensive and time consuming to pay for normal plane imagery overflights. Expensive enough that most cities can only afford it every 5-7 years. Being able to throw up a UAV and get accurate and (relatively) cheap imagery/survey/elevation data for the new mall/office building/tornado destruction would be very helpful.
Considering the amount of money the student is paying to be there, it is the job of the professor to teach. The professor would only be absolved from responsibility to teach if the university was paying the student to be there.
Great poetry, but not exactly a complete description of the British in Afghanistan. The initial British invasion (1838-1842) did have the famous loss of all but one man retreating from Kabul. The second invasion (1878-1880) was quit successful and secured British interests in Afghanistan for the next 20 years.

Ever had an ethernet link inside a bundle of VDSL links ?
Were you running shielded cable? That probably would have helped a lot more than going to Cat 6.

"employer"?? Every employer I've had paid me to be there. If your paying your employer tuition, your doing it wrong.

Did you get your degree in 2 weeks or 2 years?
Why would being privately owned make an accrediting agency meaningless?
How is this incentive any different than at a state run school?
Ensuring that your degree does not differentiate between taking online courses and brick and mortar courses is good advice.
Many community colleges are offering online courses. So does that mean they are pretty worthless for learning or a very good value for your money?

Not all taxes. California also has excessive regulation. There is a reason for the huge price drop when you cross state lines out of California.

As I understand it, the second British invasion of Afghanistan did pretty well. Alexander the great also did pretty well.
Minor correction, It is perfectly legal to drink moonshine. You just can't sell it or transport it across state lines.
