Im totally agree. I've told the exact thing to my students, im doing a service for which they are paying for, and if they cheat, they only cheating theirselfs, because out there, it will show. In our institution the "directive" is to require two cameras, one frontal and one directioned to the keyboard area with open mic. Im living in a third world country where the best connection is 50 Mbps and i have some students that can't afford that type of connection, and others dont't even have two cameras, so they must use their cellphones and use data plan, so this add pressure to the test, (not to mention our power grid is really bad). It seems that universities are trying to carry the same type of controls for a presential exam for a "virtual" one. It just seems wrong. I am teaching operating systems and computer networks and i work doing this everyday, and i've always do my tests with real life questions and two versions of each test, when they were presential, so i cant left the room when i need to, and left the students alone so i have little problems to adjuts my test to "virtuality". But it seems that some teachers are still doing memory tests, so i see that is a problem that must be solved by the teacher with a better exam, not by the student with intrusive controls.

From RHEL bugzilla: This flaw only affects configurations of sudo, in which sudoers configuration entry allows a user to run a command as any user except root, for example: bob myhost = (ALL, !root) /usr/bin/vi This configuration allows user bob to run vi command as any other user except root. However, this flaw also allows bob to run the vi command as root by specifying the target user using the numeric id of -1. Only the specified command can be run, this flaw does NOT allow user to run other commands that those specified in the sudoers configuration. Any other configurations of sudo (including configurations that allow user to run commands as any user including root and configurations that allow user to run command as a specific other use) are NOT affected by this flaw. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/sh...

I live in a third world country and believe me, here, people have kids as a result of a life of selfishness. They're make their children work for them. You can see mothers and fathers in corners waiting under a tree, drinking, while the kids are working on the streets, under the sun, or rain, begging for some cash to eat. Usually having more than 3 kids per family.

This-> They're not for everybody, and being a dad surely doesn't make you a better person. I'm 39 and a recent dad. My little girl has 2 years old. I don't know if she's going to give me extra years, but after this two years i know that she is giving me great years. (Finally have an excuse for play with some of my wife's Jem dolls,and a real reason to say OMFGP without the F) I think that having kids must be a very personal choice, some people will enjoy raising a kid, sharing time with them, - the good and the bad times - and some people will enjoy spending time with his/her partner or hobbies or whatever brings them happy moments.
