I have seen a lot of bullshit arguments and it looks like the discussion has deteriorated into class warfare. Somehow students that can pay $2.50 for a missed lecture are "rich spoiled kids who have an unfair advantage."
I graduated from NCSU and can tell you for a fact that recording devices are not prohibited in the classroom. If you have trouble keeping up with the lectures you can make your own recording, or have a friend make a recording if you aren't going to be there. This way still isn't "free" since you have to provide the equipment and have someone attend.
Most people would rather spend the $2.50 to have a much better recording without any of the effort. Hell, if you are skipping classes then you probably are to lazy to put the effort into getting someone to make the recordings anyway.
Professors at NCSU are innovative. Sure there are some old school holdovers, but for the most part the University pushes different ways of doing things. I had a foreing language class that was taught at NCSU and UNC at the same time. We had class in a studio with TV's, cameras and microphones. The teacher was in our studio one day and in UNC's studio the next. It was a great class and worked out well.
Before the cheap, lazy people launch into the usual rant of "it should be free, i deserve it, no one should be paid for thier time, effort and investment" remember that this is something the Professor doesn't have to do, but is doing it to helkp students that might have otherwise fallen way behind. He is not going to get rich from making $1.00 per lecture when he might only sell 20 or so a semester.
'how dark and normal matter have been forced apart in an extraordinarily energetic collision.'
At first I thought this was an article on the Brad Pitt, Angelina Joie breakup. But then I realized I couldn't identify the "normal matter" in that pair.
The Department of Homeland Security was on top of this.
It seems like they are starting to understand what is
going on. It makes you wonder if they are going to be
proactive and raise the 'Terror Alert Level' when Vista
is finally released.
This signature was going to be a lot nicer but I had to cut a lot of features in order to get this post out without any further delays.
Why blast Vista? It is going to full of technological
breakthroughs and really is not that far behind schedule.
I hear it's going to be shipped any day now.

the C64 will be the only machine capable of running Duke Nukem Forever.
where do you put the cat?
Duke Nukem Forever is going gold next week.
Oops, that one is going to cost me a lot of yuan.

I think Neptune is using the "I called shotgun and was here first" defense.
I guess that makes a SCO lawsuit a close second.

XOrg 6.9, 2.4 Kernel ... are you sure this isn't Debian?
How can you trust a list like that when it doesn't include goatse. Where have they been?

It would seem that sci-fi will never be anything other than what it is: a fiction. "Only the Sith deal in absolutes."
