Google knows the bad PR that would come with a kid looking up information on penicillin being presented with penis as a possibility. Of course, it wouldn't offend the kid (who would probably see it as reasonable), it would offend their PTA office-holding parents (who would probably just see dollar signs).
Google is your friend and, failing that, a rooted Android user is your friend. (Apps downloaded from Google Play are internally stored as....apk files.)
I'd be willing to bet that pro-life groups will lobby to have laws mandating that all abortions MUST be placed in an artificial womb at the cost of the mother.
Came here to say this too. Check "Allow Unknown Sources" in Settings, open.apk, install app. Perfectly allowable within the default Android setup, and yes, this is the setup that 95% of carriers use. (I've heard of some carriers taking away the Unknown Sources checkbox, but to my knowledge it's very uncommon.)
And, of course, I guess another solution would be for her to not provide the end-result file in Photoshop format, but to export it as a flat image. But I'm still intrigued by the notion of being able to "fuzzily" compare two photoshop files or images to find the ones which are too similar in certain aspects (color histograms, where the edges are, level of noise, whatever).
If you provide the kids with the end result, and they need to turn in an end result for grading, you're fighting a losing battle. I could personally get around everything you did to try to protect your "example" PSD, and I'm relatively certain that I could have done so at the age of your students. Just give them the flattened image, it's enough for them to see what it should look like.
You should still, of course, use one of the methods mentioned in sibling posts to compare submissions for too much similarity since you'll inevitably have a group of students who figure they should "pool their resources" and submit the same PSD. A quick way to get around the laziest kids would be to md5sum every submission and flag those with the same md5sum. Don't immediately accuse the kids, just make them do the same exercise in person, in front of you. If they can't, they were probably cheating.
Computer Science and programming professors have been dealing with these issues for years; perhaps seek out one of them and ask how they do code submission grading. There are a lot of similarities.
The problem is that the sales won't recoup the investor's money quickly enough; they're looking for either an exit (your option 2) or an IPO (like option 2 but seeks investment from the general public, a lot of which goes back to the initial investors). VC isn't traditional investment from my (admittedly limited) understanding.

Slashdot should simply allow editing but let anyone read the diff history, like a Wiki. Of course, that would require touching Slashcode, and nobody wants to do that.
Pretty simple: it's the job of government to ensure the safety of its populace. If they needed the extra supplies for emergency use, that's why there's eminent domain and police seizures. But then, they were using diesel fuel anyway so most portable generators simply couldn't have used anything they provided. So, in summary, you have your head up your ass and are just looking for a way to appear superior.
Andrew Brown, 49, requested a copy of a cardiac ultrasound he had in 2004 at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
2004 means nobody can reasonably claim that it's obsolete to the tune of £2000. Dude needs to sue the hospital and the government. This isn't a failing of single payer, it's corruption through and through.
I'm not getting your point here. Are you arguing that they should have simply sent all their fuel to shelters and gone down for the entirety of the storm? In what way was it their job to supply the needs of the shelter?
Your argument is similar to parents who say that kids should always finish their food because people are starving in China. One has little to do with the other. I'm betting there's a named logical fallacy here but I can't identify it.
Root your phone and download Gemini App Manager, it'll let you "freeze" the apps so they can't launch, including carrier-marked "system" apps.
Yes, this will prevent VZNavigator from launching every time you plug your phone into a holster (this saves me like 5 seconds every time I get in my car).
You can outright uninstall them but that may make future OTA updates fail to work correctly; if you freeze them, before you accept an update, unfreeze them so the update can find them, then freeze them again.
Very well, mentally replace "a place where unions are illegal" with "non-unionized contract labor, most likely overseas and in a marked with lower development costs". The point is the same.
I mean the whole point of what a picket line and a scab was centered around the fact that unionized workers that went on strike would have to physically stop workers from accessing the factory floor to work for less than the unionized workers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't this been illegal for quite some time? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's usually not tolerated.

I find more and more that if the word "morals" is present in any law or constitution that it can be translated to mean "except when we don't want to."

I can imagine that quite well, actually.
Man, your server room has a high ceiling.
No offense, but I would hazard a guess that the smartest and most experienced engineers would avoid the USPTO like the plague.

This could be done with satphones but it would require a sponsor with huge financial investment since they're kind of the opposite of cheap.

I'm not a huge fan of it either but the practical realities are such that business will seek it out for the advantages it provides them.
That's why developers are typically hired in "at-will" jurisdictions. If California wasn't at-will, Silicon Valley would be elsewhere.
