How often are you opening cans that makes this thing useful? Seriously, I've never once found a use for a can opener on my keychain. And I'm a college student, I'm used to canned food.
Bull shit. Security guards don't search for IEDs. Maybe bombs under cars, but someone calls in a bomb threat or some office worker sees a "suspicious" package and everyone calls the bomb squad.
Here in Colorado the breathalizer is optional. Of course, refusal to take the test means they can haul you off to jail. Once they take you to whatever office you can take either: A) Blood test B) Brethalater (desk-top version of a breathalizer, presumably more accurate)
If you refuse to take A or B then your license is revoked for a year.
How do you know that most professors at colleges across the united states don't have grad students to check papers based on your personal experience at a community college?

Seriously? I'm beginning to wonder if people will ever pull their heads out of their ass. I'd like to believe that most of America is not a bunch of fucking dipshits. Unfortunately, I'm being proven wrong at almost every turn.
He didn't say in what condition. Here's what you do. Big fucking trebuchet. Load the router and other shit in there, launch it through their window from across the street.
The students are not using copyright law to prevent their plagiarism from being detected. Please, tell me where it says that these students plagiarized the works they submitted to turnitin.com
You seem to be one of these people that thinks anyone who tries to exercise their rights must be guilty of something.
The students were bringing up a valid point that turnitin.com is using other people's work to make a profit. Somehow, this is "fair use".
If you seriously think that turnitin.com has anything to do with "teaching" then I'm going to have to question your level common sense.
It's apparent to anyone that turnitin.com is a company designed to make money by running google searches on the internet and a grep of a database. The "teaching" they speak of is the biggest load of horse shit I've ever heard in my entire life (almost).
Yes it does. There's ways to then request the paper from the university, etc. (And if you submit the paper for two courses with the same username there might be something there that throws up a flag to the prof, I'm not sure). Unless the professor is fucking retarded, you won't get nailed for it if it's your own work.
It's not a stretch at all. Failure to submit work to turnitin.com results in immediate failure of the assignment. Professors don't submit work to turnitin.com, they require that their students do it, and the prof just reads the bullshit-report it generates.
Just because everything has been over-promised based on the idea that everyone PROBABLY isn't going to use it at the same time doesn't mean it's a good idea. For things like internet service, it's an amazingly fucking horrible idea depending on the location.
I've never seen an offer of "unlimited bandwidth". I've seen offers of "unlimited total data transfer".
There was never the options of "download everything as fast as possible 100% of the time". It was always "download at max speed X for 95% of the time"
It would be fine if the companies advertised what they were capable of. The problem isn't that the infrastructure isn't capable enough, it's that they've marketed it for things that it's not capable of.
If I tell you that this car I'm trying to sell you can fly. It's not a problem that the car can't fly. It's a problem that I've lied to you about it capabilities.
There is a way to configure reserved slots such that they don't appear as open public slots. The http://zendeath.com/ server is configured like this. I think a lot of servers don't do this because it requires that you open the console and type "connect ip_address:port". Really isn't an inconvenience, but maybe people are just too stupid to figure it out.

Right, because the government isn't interested in semantics at all.
How the fuck do you install anything on those? How does it "inform the proper authorities" if ALL of the I/O devices are disabled?

What does "newer" have to do with anything? What about "functional". God forbid these things were running windows Vista. Newer, yes. Functional, nope.
Yes, it was .02 dollars.

"There's air force one, let's all evacuate the building" is now "good thinking"?

I was wondering that myself. "SHIT GUYS! AIR FORCE ONE AND ESCORTS!! Obviously foul play is about!!"

No, the power he is supplied with is Interruptable.
Therefore, he needs an UNinterruptible power supply.
That's "Silica", not silicon.

Then you need to shut the hell up. You need to be grateful that you can even own a computer and that you can afford access to the internet.
How dare you complain about someone else's comment. Stop bitching about other people's bitching and just be grateful for what you have. /sarcasm
They provide a bunch of money to the company selling the products as well as to any company making any type of headache medication.
The admins are idiots in all cases, but these idiots have SOME experience with windows, but absolutely NONE with Linux.
