Engineering students here have to do stuff with VisualBasic in the engineering fundamentals class, and they're required to comment excessively. The CS department, on the other hand, only wants comments to explain the purpose of code (and is in most cases satisfied with just the javadoc stuff).
And what do you think the lecturer would do with that knowledge? Do you really think it would affect how the lecturer conducts the day's lecture? If the class setting isn't small enough for the lecturer to know whether the student with a laptop is paying attention, it probably isn't small enough for the lecturer to do anything about it anyway.
That's not much of an issue unless the client agreed to the EULA when the spyware was planted on his/her machine. From what I understand, spyware doesn't like to make itself so obvious.
It is like saying 'everybody should be above average', no?
It is like saying everybody should be above last years average. If there's more stuff to have (i.e. more efficient production), then people should have more.
Electric field strength is measured in Newtons per Coulomb or Volts per metre. They are equivalent.
That doesn't much matter. The field strength was given as 40,000 volts, not 40,000 V/m (and even then, that's just for a specific point, not the entire field).
Not knowing much about complex algebra, I'd try to use a change of basis, but that's not really a way around trig (although it works in any number of dimensions).
That is, a Word document icon will visually resemble the first page of the Word document it represents. A graphics file visually represents the underlying graphic. And so on....And there's nothing like it, per se, in Tiger.
The file preview doesn't count as something like it?
1. It's almost (but not quite) the same as entrapment. Most people in the same situation would be tempted to check.
What people are inclined to do is not important unless morals are relative. If they are, this argument is rather pointless.
1. It was still wrong no matter how easy it was.
This is not support of that view, it is restating that view.
The physical world equivalent would be the admissions office left the list inside a folder on their front desk.
Since the extent of their security was just not telling people that the information was publicly availble, I question this analogy. They did not hide the information; they just didn't tell people how to get it.
The students were aware this was a 'hack'
Source for this information?
2. These are tomorrow's leaders and they should be held to a higher standard.
Again, unless morals are relative, they apply equally to all.
3. Wrong is wrong.
You will be hard pressed to come up with anything that follows logically from this statement.
Or the word 'access' is defined by whomever. Their accounts were given read access to that information. That sure sounds like authorization to read it.
I have to wonder about the effectiveness of using click histories. It seems to me that the only way any site is going to get a lot of clicks from google is if they're already near the top to begin with. A site that is good but new will be buried so far down that nobody will actually get to it.
Is there any way around this?
Business should be free to offer whatever the heck it wants. Consumers should be free to buy whatever the heck they want.
Unfortunately these two freedoms often come into conflict.
In a particular area, if the cable company delivers something better, faster, and cheaper than the telephone company, then the telephone company will ultimately lose revenue, which will stimulate an improvement in the telephone company.
It is quite possible that DSL is less expensive than cable in a given area even with the added charge for phone service. DSL would draw more customers, and the phone company would be free to force DSL customers to buy phone service as well.
This is not a perfectly competitive market. The "invisible hand" will not help you here.

And even if they didn't remove the tag, it wouldn't keep you from lending the article of clothing to a friend.

Schools do sometimes add rules in the middle of the year without printing new editions of the student handbook until the next year.

The SCOTUS ruled that genetically-engineered organisms were patentable.
Heh heh heh yeah... and I've worked with patented bacteria in bio -_-
Is this thing pushed by solar wind or photons?

Well, there's always emacs... :-P
His point was that any commonly-used thing Microsoft provides is also available elsewhere. The prevalence of gaming doesn't hurt his case a whole lot.
...then why are the fossils there?
I'm going to have to try warsledding during college (I'll be going to school on the UP).
As for dealing with the costs, could a hole that deep replace Yucca Mountain?
