Take the exam naked. That’ll throw them off.

How hard is it to pre-record some video feed, and play it back on a TV the webcam is pointing at?

Do they see the screen? If not, what’s stopping you form putting the cheat sheet on it?

My microphone and webcam are unplugged unless I’m using them. Either that, or they have hardware covers or switches. I have my subwoofer on my desk, where I can use the hardware volume control. Software breaks; knobs and switches don’t (at least, not nearly as much). If I’m dealing with a runaway memory leak, I would like to be able to turn the music down when I get a phone call, thanks.

That partly answers why there is a mad rush to take a lot of oil out now, instead of waiting until when it is even more rare and thus valuable.

Oh, by the way, I haven’t seen you in a while. I have a BBQ coming up in August, so keep an eye on http://www.saskblogs.ca for details.

We’d have to wait for all the Christian fundies to die. Or kill them. (How’s that for counterproductive?)

You know, the ones that think all other religions (however loosely a self-deprecating Buddhism fits that description) are puppets of Satan.

I agree with most of what you say minus a few (possibly key) things.

Mainly I don’t think that money = work = pain. While this can certainly be true in some cases, I think generalizing it is impossible. I still stick to the belief that if we are contributing something of value to society, that value will come back to us in the form of ability to sustain ourselves.

If I had to choose a religion to abide by, a really simple form of Zen Buddhism is pretty much unassailable in my opinion. Our experiences have meaning, and this self-knowledge is the path the enlightenment and happiness.
