Best of all, it doesn't take 3 hours per student.
But even in a small class of 20, if it takes a half hour per student, that's 10 hours for the professor.

Robb Topolski is urging people to opt-out in the InfoWorld summary.
"If people reject the settlement, they are freed from the restrictions of this settlement and can sue independently or join any other action," Topolski said in an email. "If enough people reject the settlement, it sends a strong message that the class of people that this settlement was intended to represent are dissatisfied."

I've always preferred "2 Bush 2 Furious" myself.
How does a consumer not concede to the carrier's game? Sure, you can pay cash for a phone rather than purchasing a subsidized one, but you will still pay the same price for the service. The only difference is that you can take your ball and go home if you want. The next guy is going to charge the same price though. The only alternative is to not play their game at all.
Actually, it seems T-mobile is trying something new with their "Even More Plus" plans. I called them last week to see about changing up my plan, and the first thing the operator asked me was: "Which is more important to you? Do you want a free phone, or cheaper monthly payments?" I answered enthusiastically "cheaper monthly payments" since I've never been interested in getting a subsidized phone and then being under contract for 2 years to pay it off. These new plans are pretty cheap it seems, don't offer a free or subsidized phone, and don't put you under contract.
I always thought the high price wasn't from the inks themselves, but because there are somewhat sophisticated microfluidic devices in each ink cartridge. Do they actually claim it's the ink that's expensive?
Which are mostly in place to make it more difficult for people to offer 3rd party generic cartridges.
Admittedly, that seems low. That Joe the Plumber guy was talking about making more than $250,000, right?
iChat, over Bonjour, could do this back in the day (and probably still can). I tried it for an hour or so during a chat, but just didn't like it and ended up turning it off.
There's something nice about knowing you're free to revise, rephrase, or just plain delete a comment you're making up until you hit that Enter key. It's really uncomfortable when every keypress you make is being transmitted and you're about halfway into a sentence you no longer want to complete.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
