No, polygraphs are not 85-95% reliable. More like 50%. So save some time and money and just flip a coin.

What's next, phrenology? Polygraphs are scientifically invalid. If you are asked to take one just laugh in their face, and say you would prefer using a seance to have your long-dead grandfather testify.

Polygraphs are at best 85-95% reliable, according to supporters, and the real reliability is probably substantially lower

There are more comments bitching about the link than comments about the actual nebula. Even the nerds are disinterested in space these days...

I second robot_love. Let's do it.

Baffled by this, I profiled the code, and the entire slowdown was template calls at the lowest level that triggered a lookup table that was abysmally slow (templates were REALLY bad in the compiler I was using, which I think was Borland).

With all those billions of dollars and thousands of smart people why couldn't Microsoft have actually helped us with something like this: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/29001/

I have to question your approach in creating the exam if students with the knowledge are unable to get good grades at it.

If students who got the actual knowledge cannot get good grades, the problem is YOU.

How about turning this around, and have your college constantly tell you "Salary doesn't matter, it's doing great research and great teaching that matters!", and then give you great research facility and students, but only give you minimum wage while awarding great bonuses to management. How many professors would care more about getting better pay than actual knowledge?

And if the goal is just to steal space from Google, there are better ways to do it.

You forgot copied Monopoly money - emphasis on the 'copied', I'm not giving them my real Monopoly money.
