I agree that the historical significance is over rated.

You could do that...
However if they do check out the forgery they will probably treat you like a shoplifter.

I have no love for Walmart. But part of the reason why companies treat the customer like they are criminals is because too many are.

It is one thing to steal food to feed your family if you can't afford it. But a play station?

And no Fat Tony defense.

A massive megaton explosion (As we found out that comets are harder then we thought) Blasting a gigantic creator wiping out thousands if not millions of people. You are worried about a little bit of radioactive waste?

I would have been more, if we only used Nuclear energy so we knew more about this object so we know what type of danger it poses if it actually hit the earth.

Which is why it was a bad depiction of a computer engineer.
Now the problem Computer Engineering isn't a spectator sport. While it is interesting the the worker, it isn't so much for the viewer. It is like watching someone put together a jigsaw puzzle.

With Apple continuing to make a more closed ecosystem. And Google sharing all your data in the world, with little interesting movement in Linux. Now Microsoft trying to be more open.
Should we be a bit more welcoming to Microsoft?

Making the rules so strict, prevents innovation. Making the rules too relaxed causes abuse.

You need a happy middle.

However the company will be willing to pay a bit more to cover the agent cost to cover the risk of hiring a new employee.

Really the difference between an Agent and a head hunting firm, is that the agent should be having some credibility behind his name for offering quality workers.
So even if you are good at negotiating say you think you should be getting 250k a year. However most business will not be willing to hire you because, while your resume looks good with glowing references. You are still a risk. If there is an agent and he may get 50k for your job. The company may be happy to pay that amount if they know they will actually get a good worker.

A lot of HTML limitations is also due to the fact that it will need to render on many different platforms. The goal for a correct web app is not to copy your PC app, but stay in the browsers rules and limitations.

Back in the good old days. We had a data format that was in essence a memory dump of the system. So the data will only work with one application and sometimes on the same OS and hardware (Endianness).
Then we started to get some open format solutions such as Postscript, LaTex which allowed for cross platform and software sharing of data. HTML got popular mostly due to it compatibility with flat text. Simple commands and the fact that you could link to an other document. This linking feature ment you could dig further in a document.
They added more features including images more formatting then JavaScript was a bit of a hack added in for client side processing.
So now we have apps that we access online and we really don't care if you are using windows, macs, tablets, phones, or plan9. The browser follows the standard and gives you the output.

Java was an attempt at this concept too, hovever many apps that we call webpages today would be too much work to code in Java.

There tends to be a commonality with Europeans to ignore problems of their own. If this was an American project, they will be in full flame on stating how this mission was a complete failure.

Echo location isn't about removing the blind persons need for a cane, even with people who are good at it are still recommended to use a cane because things like grates, poles, or holes do not work well with echo location. As the sound passed threw it and back.
What it does mean is with the aid of a cane and the watch they will be able to move more quickly with more assurance that there isn't something big going to be in the way.

Yes it would be.
However if the point was teaching nested loops and you gave the simple loop answer. You may have gotten points for being clever. However the actual point was about teaching how to use loops.

An other example is a program to say power a number. This can be done via a loop or really small with recursion.

If you are dead, you don't know you are dead but all the people you know are effected from your death.

The same is true with Stupidity.
Your Incompetent boss doesn't know that he is incompetent, yet we all suffer from this.

Because every successful tech company keeps the same business model for over 30 years!
Lets face it.
The Desktop Business isn't where the money is anymore. The Desktop is a dying idea. It is shifting towards Servers,Workstations, and Mobile.

New applications take more advantage of the Web Standards, and less of OS dependent technologies. (With the key exceptions of heavy processing systems (Such as CAD, Games, Simulations, Programming)
The nice thing about following web standards for Web Applications your program is in essence write once run everywhere.

I don't think it is a case of regularly. But it happens a few times per month.
But there is a big difference in doing this for your work and doing it for school.

If you are doing this for work, your goal is to get the computer to solve the problem.
For school your goal is to learn how to get the computer to solve problems.

For Example a CS101 student will have a nested for statement that displays a triangle in text.
The point of the exercise isn't about having a triangle to appear. But to teach and impress the ideas of nested loops.
Now if you take the code:

for i in range(10):
    st = ""
    for j in range(i):
        st+="#"
    print(st)
print("Done!")

For a someone new to the topic. You wouldn't have realized that you needed to reset your string in the correct level of the looping. The real learning isn't about getting the program right, but finding all your mistakes in the process. Just copying the code so you got it done you failed to learn. You just completed the assignment.

Now for professional work you goal is to get the assignment done, and they really don't care if you learned something new or not. So just as long as you got that triangle even if you had a...

print("#")
print("##")
print("###")
print("####")
print("#####")
print("######")
print("#######")
print("########")
print("#########")
print("##########")
print("Done!")

they really don't care.
