And I disagree. Although I've never "cybercheated" (from what I can recall at least, I always cite sources) I can see why it is appealing. I've taken more than a dozen courses in my Engineering degree that are beyond useless for my professional career, its how the education system works. So when I'm tasked to write a 20 page page on something in my Humanities Elective course I don't *really* lose anything when I come out with a passing grade and nothing else. The university wasted my time and money on that course and at best I'll be able to win bar arguments on the topic.
You are correct if you assume all cheating is done in relevant courses. If I stole my Digital Network class project from an online tutorial site then I'm cheating myself, but we really can't make that assumption
They may even go to jail if they kill someone, thus preventing them from doing any more damage
Sorry to break it to you, but I don't feel that jailing a random person is a fair trade off for losing a friend/family member permanently. We want prevention and not reaction. The law is a decent first step, make the cost/benefit for texting bad to reduce incentive to do it. It won't work for everyone but it works for many. Next, educate with the new income from fines and increased insurance costs.
Going 60 in a 55 zone isn't necessarily unsafe if you're capable of handling a vehicle at the speed. Going 85 in an 80 zone isn't necessarily bad either if you can handle it.
The problem is that you can't tell who can and who can't. Do you go by their word? I wouldn't trust a system that states everyone is capable until proven otherwise because the "proven otherwise" scenario usually means harm to others
Just a little something off topic, but do some research sometime in your car and figure out where you're going and if the 5mph is worth it. I did the work on my car and found that going 10km/h over the speed limit saved me (on average) 2 minutes at the cost of 10% fuel consumption.... wasn't worth the trade off in the long run
They have little handheld computers that swipe the credit card so its fairly quick but more often than not there were issues where people:
A) Didn't have their ID immediately accessable
B) Credit Card didn't swipe
C) Too drunk to get their wallet open
D) Too dumb to accomplish any of the above.
I've seen I.M. live before so I knew what was getting, I have been waiting 10 years for Dream Theater however and was rightfully pissed when the first song I heard was concluded with "Thank you everyone!"
"and to banish long will-call lines"
Bullfuckingshit
I went to Iron Maiden last week. I showed up with my friends roughly 15 minutes before the opening act (Dream Theater) was scheduled to hit the stage. I got in on their second last song.
Fuck paperless, I have sworn off any concert that uses them from here on out because of that experience. And no, it isn't reasonable to require everyone to show up 1 hour before the show just so they can get inside in time to see the opening act
Obviously (if tests prove successful) BP will be buying this stuff by the boat-load. By successfully separating the oil to a (most likely) usable state they can recoup all that oil they lost into that darned ocean.
That damned water is contaminating our profits!
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
