I begin to think that meta-organization is becoming more important now. The guy with "bring in the grad student" did it right. It's how business really works. Courses reward the Specialist, but business rewards the Jack-of-all-trades if he can make himself CEO and is really savvy with hiring.
I think you might have found another source of the problem!
"Sure professors can... stop giving the same tests to students and using the same identical curriculum year after year."
So when the Professor reuses work it's "teaching" but when the student reuses work it's "self plagarism!"
I can see the lesson learned right there - "get out of English and learn how to manipulate power so you don't have to follow the rules made for peons".

Really though fyngyrz, you touched on a hobby project of mine, let's call it the "Algernon curse", which in storylines means that we can't stand to see someone get a pure enhancement, so it always gets written with a deadly downside.
Bonus points if you can dig up the obscure episode of 6 Million Dollar Man with William Shatner on this exact theme.
A. We know about their people factor, so there's the "where do we get people" factor. B. Materials might be 100 times cheaper if they really get behind it - we like to make $20/hr takehome and $100/hr billable, but they might just wrap it all under national pride. C. Design - We made it in the 1960's with what now ought to be ludicrously cheap tech - but we''re not satisfied to do that. For all the engineers out there, how expensive is it really to make something ultra cut-rate that may even have a 10% chance of failure? Is it worth it if you can make 1000 of them?
Lots of stuff in our minds are multiplexed, and there's a word I can't think of right now for "inefficient medicine" such as drinking an energy drink for the energy because it's nice rather than taking a boring pill.
The Dopamine Cycle is all scrambled up in this, and it's not at all clear if we do those activities *to feel fear* or *get a dopamine burst*.
My original post was a remark about differing media coverage. I took this article's tone to sound "shocked" that an information-based corporation might have ties with the government. Wasn't the success of the X-Files all about the government's secret ties to information sources?
For your second line, I don't excuse murder, I am upset at the flaws in the system that allows events like that to happen. Re: "Speeding", every driver's ed course says "compare to the flow of traffic". If the road is a long-haul one, you can actually cause trouble by cruise-controlling exactly at the speed limit.
Yes, it would be fun to elect the President and the VP *independently* and let them figure each other out during their term. For now, we're stuck with Two-Pairs-Of-Two so voting Anti-Republican was the best I could do.
I'm a little fuzzy on WhiteListing - is that browser specific? I could really see a hybrid system with "favorite sites" on a "WhiteList Browser", then when extended surfing, put a proposed link into a "BlackList Browser" to see if it's any good. Then there would be some easy way to add it to the WhiteList browser.
Most of my web usage is covered by a top-100 list, and TFA's from Slashdot or Fark, which I haven't seen come through too often with real malware.
I'd read that more like a ___ % drop in websites, as the little fun sites people ran for a year get old, and Web 2.0 works hard to punish old content. Then too the big media guys are trying to get a top-100 type mentality going where everything else becomes sub-par, like an "Eden-ization" of the web.
Click Around - Look at what you see... On the Web - spammers, you and me.... Underneath the good sites, lies a host of sites unbound by the rules of ethics, making hell all around!

Are you really sure that Recipes cannot be copyrighted? Do we need a way to ultra-public-domain stuff?

I would do anything for Govt but I won't do that!
I'll reply to you of a few possible posts.

Mobius Strip FTW!
Can we begin with "loose" vs "lose"?

So do most Furries.

Their idea of "costs" might be different.
A. We know about their people factor, so there's the "where do we get people" factor.
B. Materials might be 100 times cheaper if they really get behind it - we like to make $20/hr takehome and $100/hr billable, but they might just wrap it all under national pride.

Personally, I find it exhausting.
I'm not so sure.

So it's big news if Google has ties with the administration but it's just fine for an army of ex-RIAA critters to be nominated to high posts?
Three hundred people called. They want the stuff back that Microsoft swiped and then locked in proprietary formats.
Why didn't the Smithsonian buy up GeoCities from Yahoo when they decided to dump it? Remember the scramble to keep fragments of it?
