Once again truth is modded down by the fetid, delusional geek brain trust. Keep voting Party lines, folks. It's working so well. You parents are the worst of the lot, claiming it's all "fer teh chiiiiiiildren" while saddling them with impossible debt. Good job, fuckheads.
Bite the bullet a few times and identify the copy images (maybe by secretly marking it somehow as others have said) and FAIL the students who turn in a copy.
No, the bubbleheads are the masses who vote for the sociopaths. Do try to keep up. That sociopaths are the ones who thrive and rise to the top in our system is hardly new or unique. I call them the alphas because they are smart enough to know how to play the system. The less smart ones are in your local city council raiding the budgets. The dumb one are just your local thugs.
Which tells me that you are, if TFA has anything right, part of the problem and, unfortunately, a loser in the genetic lottery. Sorry, Mr. Pissed Off Internet Guy.
I guess my comment hit a little too close to home, didn't it, AC?
I never realized how superior you were! Quiet_Desperation 2016!
Whatever. The only reason I'd become President is to be in a position to sell you lot out to alien invaders in exchange for a spaceship, a fully loaded galactic equivalent of a black Amex card, and a star map of the all the brothels in the Orion–Cygnus Arm.
Sounds like you are making everyone out to be demons.
No, I'm tired of Party line bullshit and ossified thinking, of people trapped in their personal ideological rulebooks and unable to think outside the little boxes they willfully constructed for themselves.
Are you an angel?
I used to be a seraphim, but I got bored and the pay sucked. Worked for Metatron for a while until I realized he wasn't a Transformer.
And what magical sort of governance do you propose?
How about one where we solve problems based on things that actually work, and pick the most efficient one, and not worry fuck all about which ideological playbook it comes from? How about people abandon being "liberal" or "conservative" or "libertarian" or "progressive", and stop carrying around their labelled hammer thinking everything is a nail? That we stop accepting or rejecting ideas because because they pass or fail some ideological purity test?
Is that really too much to ask? Nothing magical about that in the least.
Hey, look what alpha sociopath is getting modded up!
Yeah, sure. The other night I saw a tiny baby spider start to lower itself from my desk lamp. Little green guy about the size of a pin head. I had to take it and put it outside (the spider not the lamp) because I didn't have the heart to squish it. Yeah, real sociopath here.
Your reckless defiance of convention is exceedingly popular. Let's get you a talk show and a book deal!
Whatever. I'm too ugly for a talk show, but I'll take the book deal. Can it be a dystopic science fiction?
No, it was a victory of one pack of fucking moron filth voting for one alpha sociopath over another pack of fucking moron filth voting for another alpha sociopath, and both sides thinking themselves angels and the other side demons.
(golf clap) You're part of the problem, AC. I hope you and the rest of your useless ilk are fucking proud of yourselves.
Mod me down. Who fucking cares anymore? Fucking bubblehead ideologues of all flavors will ruin the world.
To break this down for you, there are three categories of people:
Wait, what? Not two? I'm used to there being two. Or 10.
(1) people who deny global warming, (2) people who don't give a f*ck, and (3) people who want to do something about it.
Ooo! I'm in that second category! IPCC models themselves could not calculate the number of fucks I fail to give!
If you look at it, you'll find that most people who oppose (3) are in category (2) not category (1).
Huh? I don't oppose anyone. Cite? Did you model this? Did you take negative feedback into account? What part of not giving a fuck are you not getting? Maybe we need category (4) black hearted misanthropes who laugh at the self inflicted misery of humanity. Who other than deluded ideologues who believe in some fairy tale worthiness of mankind give a shit anymore?
I doubt he's desperate. He's probably made a mint doing voice work. His turn as the Joker in the animated Batman series (and the Rocksteady games) has become iconic along side Kevin Conroy as the Bat himself.
Maybe we'd see the emergence of more cross platform tools. All I can think of now is RealBasic which can compile (nearly) the same code into Windows, Mac and Linux.
You explained it much better than the summary. So more like Netflix's app.
Actually, I'd be happy to give this a shot. The majority of web apps I've used are just horrible. My credit union just redid their online bill pay, and it's clunky as hell, all to make it look like an application and not a basic web form you fill in and submit, the latter having worked perfectly fine for the past seven years. So now it's (sort of) shiny, and takes four times as long to pay the bills.
The evangelicals have a hard-on about any depiction of magic, even fictional. There's a video on YouTube you can probably find with a clip from one of those religious networks and they are going on about the evils of My Little Pony because it depicts magical unicorns. It's the same with the D&D hubbub decades ago, or Harry Potter more recently.
Conjecture here, but I don't think they feel unicorns and wizards are true, but they feel that evil is real, in the form of the Devil or whatever, and that the lure of magic, real or not, is being used to turn kids away from God and toward nefarious ends and they wind up on crack or masturbating to rule 34 ponies or something.
Not sure what they think of magicians (think David Blaine or Copperfield), but then again entertainers like that don't *really* claim to be anything other than illusionists.
There's radio ads here in California targeted at families making $75K a year or more to help their kids get onto colleges of their choice by... doing something. Not sure what. It almost sounds like PR consulting for kids so they have the right array of trendy things in high school. That actually bothers me more than tuition. With such an emphasis on extracurricular activities many universities seem to be hell bent on filtering out certain personality types when they have no damned business giving a flying fuck what I do with my own time. It's one of the few things that makes me glad *not* to be young and dealing with that bullshit.

Yup. Keep thinking they are stupid. They such a kick out of that.
Wat? Then they wouldn't be activists.

Yeah, they're just crazy and have no idea what they are doing. Keep thinking like that. They love it.

Tuition is only part of the picture. There's the cost of four (or more) years of time.
It's all irrelevant, though. People are all just morons, and there is no hope.
