Not to venture too far Off Topic here, but Slashdot actually bans the entire class C subnet of anyone who posts a comment which is moderated down. Take a look through your comment history (you need to be a subscriber) and think carefully. Have you ever posted anything someone might not like? A single comment about atheism or in defense of Microsoft could get you banned.
I bet I could write the other side of the equation: a program to create nonsensical gibberish that always gets A's. What would a teacher do if you handed in something like that? Apply a double standard to the student?

As a student the first thing I would hand in is twenty paragraphs from refreshing this. In political science class, of course.
