Even though the students should not be cheating its stupid for the professor to not expect this when handing out a take home exam. I remember in 7th grade my teacher giving us all a take home. She also sent home a letter that our parents had to sign saying we didn't use any class room material or the books on the exam. My father was laughing his ass off when he was signing that document.
Absolutely nothing. From my understanding the Obama campaign didn't go to areas that were red and tried to convince them to vote blue. Instead they went to areas that were already blue and used the information that was being data mined to find those that weren't voting. I would assume its easier to convince someone to vote then it is to switch political parties.
I have the EXACT same experience. They were floored when I asked them whether their next presidential candidate had different view on redefining torture and if not, I was voting for Obama. The phone literally got so silent I could hear other conversations in the background clearly.
Listed as a Republican so they call me as well. The last time they called the individual on the other side of the phone immediately jumped into a speech about appealing Obama Care. Never asked my opinion or anything just immediately assumed I was against it because I was registered as a Republican. It became very awkward for him when I started talking about how I liked some of the provisions within the bill and that I would rather see improvements instead of a full appeal of the bill.
Unless the Republican party starts to accept that certain social/political/economic norms are changing they will continue to bleed voters.
They report these things to the police and their insurance companies in the hope of recovering from their losses.
I thought most insurance companies require companies to disclose this information to the public if its related to financials such as banking. They alert the customers so they can be proactive at checking their statements and making sure fraudulent charges are stopped. This will also save the insurance company money because less claims will be filed by the banks.
Why are you even bringing in the government into this or the constitution? The owner of the printers didn't want the guy manufacturing weapons using his leased printers. The government didn't step in and take away the printers, a private citizen who had a private company did. Sure his explanation has holes in but he could simply say that he doesn't want his printers used to manufacturer guns and revoke the lease. The individual who wants to continue manufacturing weapons using printers can go find another private company or private citizen to lease from.
Now had the feds come in and snatched up the printers because he was manufacturing weapons that is an issue with the constitution. UNLESS, he was selling the weapons he manufactured or was transferring them because this requires an FFL license.
All we have are two private parties who are at disagreement on a business operation and thats it.
This was like the guy who uploaded a program onto download.com and received several awards for being a great program. All the program did was display a windows form with an Ok button that closed it out.
Google gets even less ad revenue if you download the song using a third party download service (who also gets ad money) and then listen to it on your PC at your leisure.
They also have links under the video to where you can buy the music through a legitimate distributor. Google most likely takes in a certain % of each sale through that link referral.
and the fact that when you get to the republican areas everyone is always against higher taxes
My girlfriends hometown has a public pool that unfortunately needs extensive repairs because its leaking water. The town said it could fix it by raising taxes and of course there was a huge uproar. Then the town said they could fix it by charging people to use the pool, once again more uproar. Then someone discussed buying the pool but said he would have to charge three times as much on admission fees compared to the public fee to make it profitable. And you guessed it the people were still angry.
Its like people expect all these municipals and public services to paid off by money that comes out of thin air.
It's okay. I've got a firefox plugin that'll do it for me.
Do you really think they don't know this? Do you really think they don't know of the alternatives?
They have to do their due diligence. These sites make the process of ripping music from videos TOO easy. Pretty much any other method requires at minimum installation of third-party software.
So these sites do three things that require Google to take action. They cut into the bottom line, they violate the Terms of Service, and they potentially put Google at legal risk.
For example search Billy Joels - We Didnt Start The Fire and you will see that you can listen to the song for the price of a simple 15-30 second commercial. What you can also see is under the video are several links to Apple, Amazon, and Google music store that allow you to purchase the song. I would say its a safe bet that Google makes a % on the sale of the song based on the link referral. So these sites pretty much nullify this feature.
As for the terms of service. From my understanding these sites are putting a wrapper around the video which goes against the terms of service.
As for the legal ramifications. The studios definitely have contracts with Google to put their music videos online. These contracts probably have clauses that state Google needs to fight off potential piracy with due diligence. So by taking these sites down Google is complying with those clauses.
So can they totally stop it? No. Can they make it so you have to go though several hoops to rip the sound out of their video? Yes.
If Google were to neglect this kind of infringement, the music and film industries associations could find grounds to claim that Google is damaging their businesses.
Or they could use it as grounds to pull their music videos and Google loses out on the 15-30 seconds of a commercial they show before them.
There is reason to think it might work on AIDs since one man was cured when he received a bone marrow transplant from some one that has the natural immunity. The trick is producing enough of the right antibodies.
Actually almost everyone produces an antibody for HIV the problem is that only a handful of people can keep up with producing the antibody to fight off the virus or that's the going theory right now. As for the man that was cured, that is more of a long shot treatment, we can keep people alive for a long time now just with anti-virals that the risk of a bone marrow transplant is not worth it.
Don't think that it would have this effect... NK has been generally starving the people for decades in favor of military might.
More then likely the food that is given to them goes directly to the military. If you cut off the food then the military starves as well as the people. Depending on how loyal the military is, once people with weapons start to starve crazy things can happen. Its one thing to be dealing with an angry person, its a whole another level when they're angry and hungry.
He didn't serve a sentence for murder because he was found not guilty. There were so many mistakes made by the police and the forensics team that the defense used the credibility of the investigation against the prosecution. There were also major issues with the DNA which was relatively new and unheard of, the prosecution did a piss poor job of having DNA explained, some of jurors were so confused that they mixed up DNA with blood type. What was thought to be a open and shut case turned into a nightmare for the prosecution.
This is why the OJ Simpson case is such an important case. So many mistakes were made that they use it in classroom exercises.
I'm one of those developers who is saying "I need X to do Y". Who also just happens to be working on an indie game. Who also just happens to be using Kickstarter to fund our second stage of development. You know why I know what resources I need? I've been working in the startup industry for the last 25 years.
You probably have something to show also which shows that at least something is being done. That some plan has already been followed and that the project is far past the "we have some concept" art stage. My biggest problem with some of these projects is that they have an "idea" but they have nothing else to show. No business plan, no timeline, no breakout of where the funding is going, nothing that shows they already invested their own MONEY into the project to get it moving past a conceptual stage.
The Wasteland 2 one boggles my mind, here you have an established developer looking for funding for a game. Originally wanted 900k, they currently have 2.2 million and his latest post is asking for another 600k because it will make the game even better. But all they have to show is one piece of concept art and a video of the developer talking about who he is and what he has done.
God I hope you are joking. A neighborhood watch is simply that a watch (mostly just a deterrent represented by signs) for what is going on. It doesn't mean you have active individual who drives around and patrols the area armed with a sidearm. You see something you report it to the police.
And from my understanding the kid who was shot lived in this neighborhood with his father, so Zimmerman shot someone he was suppose to be protecting.
I don't care if there is not enough evidence to say cell phones interfere with planes. I don't want to hear someones conversation oh the pone the entire flight.
I have heard people say numerous times that they don't want a Windows phone because they don't want a phone that crashes or is insecure
If people are truly saying that then Microsoft has still not shed that problem. I would say before 2001 crashing was a huge problem for Windows, after that Windows stabilized but the security then suffered. Its been the last few years that I felt out of the box windows, with their free anti-virus software and a little common sense that Windows is pretty secure and stable.
HIV/AIDS is one of the worst and greatest things to happen to society. As a result of HIV we have pushed a lot of research into how viruses work and as a result we have come up with numerous anti-virals which are drugs that were non-existent 30 years ago. We have also discovered methods of using non-lethal viruses to infect abnormal cells with new DNA that fixes their abnormality. You're probably a troll but if not your ignorance of the subject is pretty clear.
On top of that, what they have is useful for about the equivalent of the first week or so in an introductory computer science class.
Except its missing the "Why" part that any good programming teacher will discuss with you or a good book. Its one thing to show a For Loop, its another to explain why and when you would use a For Loop and what type of real scenario you would use it in. Without applying what you learn to some real scenario you wont really advance.
Real Time Strategy games do not transfer over easily to consoles mainly because the controls required are not there. Depending on how complicated the controls are for D3 will determine how well it can be transferred to console. I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard drops console support if they cant get the controls right.
Oh and for reference here is a forum post referring to a flashlight application that somehow made it into the market place by using undocumented assembly calls.
I have a Windows Phone and you know what I hate about it? I have to buy a flashlight app. Thats right, I cant even program a simple application with a button to turn the camera light on. I instead have to purchase this through the store. I went online and read through the forums and the only way to make your own flashlight application is to use undocumented API calls. But with the Android or Apple phone they either come with a flashlight app by default OR their API documentation allows you access to the flashlight.
Now this might be a petty complaint but a flashlight app is like the "Hello World" to smart phone applications and you cant do this with a Windows Phone.
