Comment Both are helpful... (Score 1) 274

Speaking as someone that teaches second semester CS to 300 undergrads a semester, there is value in both.

Advantage Paper: The computer is a crutch. If you know it, you can write it. You are going to to have to do this in coding interviews. Requires no infrastructure to give an exam without cheating. (I actually don't have the space/computers to give a computer exam to hundreds of students at a time.)

Advantage Computer: I/TAs don't have to grade it, I can just use gradescope.com and students won't argue with me for partial credit.

Comment Had the same problem, use an MVNO (Score 1) 798

It was a frustrating experience for sure, but there is an easy solution: switch to any one of the MVNOs or a prepaid plan from the carrier. Figure out what network they are riding on top of that matches your preference, then switch.

I picked GoPhone (from ATT), but straighttalk wireless, or others will work just fine for you and are likely cheaper.

Good luck, but this is an easy one to solve.

Comment Hidden? (Score 4, Informative) 249

There is a fairly straightforward way to locate the cameras if you have a bit more time than me. Using the time of the sunrise and sunset (and the length of the day), you should be able to get a decent fix on the location (people use the same technique on whales and sea turtles.)
