You're looking for a technological solution to a pedagogical problem. Redesign the questions and let them have all the Internet access they want.

I predict Facebook will be a bigger version of itself in 2015. Not a bank. Not a sparkly unicorn.

Correction: That's Seton Hill that will try the iPad, not Seton Hall, which is a different school.

We need the Matlock guy to get up there with Salvage 1 (remember that awful tv show?) and clean this mess up. But seriously, we should probably send up some unmanned garbage collection ship(s) to boost the stuff back into the atmosphere where it will *mostly* burn up on re-entry.

Now how about killing IE 7 and 8?

Do no less evil.

Time travel forward at 1 second per second is a no brainer. Time travel faster than 1 sec/sec is theoretically possible. All you have to do is get in a spaceship and go very fast for a while (sublight speed is ok). When you return to Earth, you will have aged less than everyone back home. And World Peace will happen after the next World War, when everyone is dead.

Humans don't adapt to their environment. They modify their environment to suit their physiology. That's why we use fire for warmth, started wearing clothes, built shelter, etc. Why do we think we can adapt to zero gravity? We didn't evolve lungs to explore underwater. We didn't evolve fur to explore the poles. As in those examples, we won't colonize space until we develop artificial gravity by spinning large objects and living inside them. Sure, a short foray into zero g is no big deal, much like a dip in the pool, but we won't live there.

Blackboard has been working harder on their monopoly building practices than on their software...they bought and then promptly shut down a small up-and-coming competitor called Prometheus, they bought their biggest competitor, WebCT, and managed to squeak by the anti-trust investigation. Then they sue Desire2Learn for infringing on their silly patents, mostly to drain this small innovative company's resources and weaken them. Even when they develop new products, the primary goal seems to be ripping off the intellectual property of others...Bb Scholar is a del.icio.us ripoff and SafeAssign gives away for free what the company TurnItIn has worked hard to develop. There have also been veiled threats made to the open source alternatives like Moodle and Sakai, crappy as they are. Blackboard is using Micro$oft tactics and never really expected to win these patents but rather to spread FUD among their competitors.
