"We also sacked a student who changed her grades so she could continue to receive financial aid. Hurts nobody, right? Wrong. How about the student who deserved it but all the money in the scholarship fund was given to others, including the one who falsified records."
you're dead wrong and/or a liar.
As of 2007, there has never been a single year where all of the money available for financial aid for students has been used up.
I mean why give a kid 20 years in prison if he hacked into the system and changed his grades in a computer science 1 class?
If the kid wants to actually hone his skills and become a better programmer, and no harm is done, then I say go for it. Lord knows it can be hard to sit through a class like that, and at the end of the day, your grades should reflect your SKILL.
If the kid feels like a piece of meat being processed by a machine, and feels like doing things his own way to prove he's capable of everything the teacher's taught, then yeah, he better get an A.
How many ways do you suppose you can draw flowers, hearts and smiley faces though? recording where you start, where you end, and the position on the screen, and the size, and the shape...
It's bound to be more complex than a password the average user can create. And might be less susceptible to keylogger-type software.

He does that when they would make his show look serious. They're trying to take a humor show and turn it into politics, he's doing a damn good job of stopping them.
I'm gonna say Portal even though it's linear, because there's a point at which you have to acknowledge that your definition of "on rails" doesn't cut it. I can think of no other game that offered as much freedom.
Except for programming languages, perhaps, but you'll probably insist that those aren't games.
The game wasn't ruined with doc buffs for me, as I was completely unaffected. It was ruined when there were 50 other dancers competing for "views" in the same cantina and in a different group.
It was nice when I had the option to "allow" people to benefit from my healing skills (by blacklisting them before they walked in and choosing manually to unlist them) and could buff them, and they actually began tipping.
Then the next week it seemed like, it was popular knowledge that everybody had to master a bunch of classes to become jedi and so I was no longer reputable, respected, or even acknowledged. I was street trash, just like everybody else.
I abandoned my combat skills at that point and began to seriously play my Bioengineer, which was lots of fun. I could even set up a vendor with my custom-created pets and sell them to other players. it emptied daily. I had found ways of creating little cats that spat acid long-range and were extremely tough to kill, and kept my first one for my own. It wasn't hard to create vicious beasts, but players wanted them to be a specific level so that they could be tamed by anyone. you got more if they could be mounted. A critter that did both went for more than a landspeeder - everybody had one of those.
Then I shelved the game for a while and promised to return, but when I heard that they'd completely removed the Bioengineer class from the game, I vowed never to return.
Yes, but HOW much more expensive is the important part. If the CD is $0.02 and the flash drive is $2, people will buy the flash drive, and the CD will disappear.

Precisely.

"...evolved to the point where they work well with evolution"
ya think?
Even the number of Americans killed in World War II is only 1 decade of auto deaths!
Well yeah, we did wait until you guys got tired to join in.
Well, they didn't want the linux users to have an advantage. ;)
of course, we come with the advantage in intelligence anyways. As well as ego.
Well, you must not have very much fun programming.

If the law is unjust, you have the right to break the law.
Unless you feel that Jesus Christ was "morally wrong" in choosing to be born in Bethlehem when he knew it was against the law at the time.

Yeah right. You'd just have to draw ascii goatse and it'd be more secure than your current password.

Well what did you expect when the game is subtitled:
"Xenosaga: Hey, you got your GAME in my CUTSCENE!"
I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I played a Dancer/Bioengineer.

bulletproof?
no. more agile.
having a bulletproof head wouldn't have saved his brain or spine.
If it's hard work, it's not worth doing. especially not if something like the free speech you exercise in every episode of your show is at stake.
