it will be easy to run an algorithm that separates one fingerprint from another - ESPECIALLY if they're blatantly differing fingerprints and one of them exists multiple times on the same object.
This would be like trying to read the stamp on an envelope after the post office has notorized it. hardly cause for alarm.
A school is a place of learning. If this kid was more capable than the teachers in the school (which is very likely) then they should have let him pass with A's on principle.
For far too long I've sat and watched athletes graduate with straight A's despite blatantly cheating on every test and not knowing the difference between Canada and Australia, while truly competent students are fighting over B's and if they're really lucky actually getting an A.
There is a monumental shift in College where the teachers actually act like professors and are no longer dumbfucks.
I have no doubt in my mind that "hacking the system" in this case means walking over to the teacher's spreadsheet while he's not looking and manually writing in an A for his grade and a few others.
High schools and their faculty have never been brighter than the dimmest lamp at midnight.
As far as I've seen, Slashdot doesn't have a democrat bias, it has an anti-administrative bias. which makes a lot of sense since you'd find most of the people who post here are likely programmers or IT guys and not the guys who boss them around.
Except that most of the time the only people "of that nationality" who are discriminated against are discriminated against because they LOOK like some other race.
Plenty of the white-looking members of Africa, the Middle East, and even the Far East can get away with walking into the redneckiest bar in west Texas and walking out without even a dirty look.
And last but not least, "Mexican" is not a racial slur. "Hispanic" and to a much lesser degree, "Latino" I would say qualifies more. It is a term used to describe anyone who looks or sounds Mexican, Spanish, or like anyone in all of Latin America. I find it highly offensive that the "politically correct" term for a people should come from the Spaniards that conquered them.
You can't claim that his argument is a strawman without proving it anymore.
The entire Bush administration of the past 8 years has been MADE UP of straw men. all sorts of stupid stuff has been going on, so much so that using logical conclusions is in fact illogical.
You cannot apply reason and logic to anything they've done. Don't even try to claim that this is wrong because it would be wrong in another situation.

If there was anything that could make windows worse, this administration will find it.

There was a distinct possibility that it was frozen carbon dioxide (a.k.a. dry ice).
I can't really say much more than that.
This is good news for the Linux crowd.
How is it even possible to prove someone "evil" with just logic?

I couldn't ask for a better response to my own douchebaggery. :)
Yes, but have you talked at all in the last 35 years? to anyone?
Don't give them any ideas, you clod!
That's a long time to go without talking at all.
What, do they pass chapters by value?
You'd be surprised how many edits there are for the site that details the exploits of the terror group P.E.N.I.S. though...
