Submission + - Portal Patch Released, Speculation Begins

Lokatana writes: Valve Software released a patch to the popular game Portal yesterday, which has spawned speculation that this is the beginning of a viral marketing campaign for a new game. Some believe that this is a precursor to Portal 2, while others support the idea that Half Life 2, Episode 3 is almost here. Either way, evidence is mounting that something big is happening for fans of this game. New achievements in the game, Morse coded messages added to different levels, new images found inside of the game files, a Washington area BBS phone number that streams more intriguing hints and images — more is being discovered as we speak. One thing seems to be agreed by all... GlaDOS is, well, still alive.

I am a student at GT, and the MATLAB class that all the Engineering majors have to take is rampant with cheating. Out of a class of 100 people maybe half that do the assignment, they just get some 'smart' kid to do it and they all just submit the exact same code (minus changing their name) - the instructors don't even bother to look for cheating. However, in the CS dept, in the classes, the TA's often will read your code, so you aren't really able to get away with it.

Chicago also levies "sin taxes" on certain products including cigarettes, soft drinks and--don't ask me why--bottled water

If you really wonder why they levy a sin tax on bottled water, think about it for a second - you are contributing to waste with plastic bottles, and paying for something you can get out of your tap. If you drink bottled water on a regular basis, you should be taxed for it.
