Careful Nintendo. If backing up a game I purchased and playing it any way I want is stealing, then I might as well skip the first step.

I only partnered with people for projects where we were forced to work together (this was rare). I've asked a few questions during office hours regarding some work. I could absolutely do both of these things from home. It may be better to do in person classes for some people who like the interaction and overall "college experience," but that comes down to preference. If people knew they could do all of it from home for free AND they could take a test to prove the knowledge, many wouldn't definitely take that route.
If that's your definition then it's the same as college. Most courses I took had 200-300 students in a large auditorium where we just sat there a listened to the professor, took notes, read the book (that cost $300) and took a few tests. I also took a few online courses in obtaining my degree. Educating myself later was faster and more efficient.
LOL! Love it
I learned new programming languages online using courses like those. I use them fairly consistently at work. I also went to a 4 year university prior to that. Learning online was both cheaper and faster. Also, a few university classes I took were 100% online. No difference except for cost.
I test those that I hire now with real-world problems - all of which have college degrees due to company policy to limit which resumes I can see based on requirements. There's a huge difference between these people - some don't know anything and some are fairly well-versed. This standard education thing isn't working.
This doesn't put education into the hands of corporations. It's here already... on the internet. You can watch entire Standford or MIT courses for nothing right now.
Their lead investigator will surely sniff this one out!

It sucks as a whole. Imagine having everyone's DNA. You can develop things that hurt a specific set of people only. It may or may not affect you directly, but it affects our communities. You're right as an individual. No one really cares about your hair or spit and if they did, it's very easy to get a hair sample in most cases without you even knowing it. As technology gets better there will be (maybe already are ways) to get your DNA that are less intrusive or need less material. AI trained on DNA and physical attribute could probably narrow it down A LOT using video alone.
I would think so. IANAL but I'm sure there's a ton of precedence for cases similar to this. HIPAA laws are very good for the people.
See guys - he just looks like a turtle. He's really a pussy.
