CMU undergrad and 15-122 (intro to CS) TA here. As far as I can tell, there's a lot of awareness against cheating here. Most, if not all, of my professors have gone out of their way to stress how cheating is a terrible thing, devalues the d

So what? He's contributing reasonably decent comments, who cares if he posts a lot? Comment sections are essentially infinite, and if the comments are good, I don't see any reason to tell him to stop. However, if the comments are not insigh

Always HCI (or Robotics) too. It's like, you never actually see what they're doing but it's always awesome (except for that large robot in some room on NS second floor right near the Wean bridge, but that might not be HCI). Also #proud :)

Additionally, some of the content (music) is actually completely or almost completely unavailable (even legally) outside of these sites. For example, old rare/obscure records - people rip them because they want to share, and people download

Yeah, that's what I was thinking the whole time I was reading this article. "Only" 2000 apps? I'd rather have 200 well-designed and useful apps over 20,000 useless spam-ware ones any day of the week. I've owned an Android device for a year
