    are you marked as a cheater for reusing your own code?
    Under that coding checking system?
    How does the code checker not flag common parts and it's up to the professor to know that and you just hope that some dumb TA or sub knows as well or you may be marked as well.

    any ways pro codes reuse code and copy and paste others work all the time and most of the time there are no 1 man coding out there for a lot of software.

    also some times part of the job is working off of some old code based and adding to it / hacking it to work with newer stuff.

  9. they like to make you pay over a $1000 more for a on Why Apple Doesn't Market Squarely To Businesses · · Score: 1, Insightful

    they like to make you pay over a $1000 more for a desktop pc then one you can get with the same cpu power + X2 ram and better video card and the imacs are not a good fit as Businesses like to reuse the displays.

    Also the hard to get to HDD's in the Imacs and some what with the mini are a trun off for data security. You do not want to ship out a system with data on it for warranty work. Also the build in web cam is a BIG no for some Business in the imac as well.

    The mini will be a good system if they dropped the price to $500 with a good sized HDD and 2-4gb of ram as make easier to open.
