Are you on f**king drugs?Lol, if not the sheer irony of an uneducated cretin utterly misinterpreting what an engineer is and what they do is at least worth pointing out.
You guys are going to hate me for this; I know it. I went to a Big 10 university for $8,000. That's not a semester or a year; that's all 4 years of a bachelor's degree. It also was done without scholarships or financial aid. Whether or not you guys think highly of the Big 10 or not my school is regularly in the top 5 engineering programs in the country, top 3 in aerospace/aeronautical engineering and top 10 or 15 in nursing. I got my value out of school and I feel lucky to have no debt from it. Oh, I also got 20% off of books.@kranklin - Dude, if you can't write a freaking paper for a class, I don't want you writing software that I use. Writing isn't hard. Sorry.
Google can decide who they want to do business with. Ad space is not the same as search result. They are not censoring search results. If they ever did, you can use another search engine if you like. Yes, there are other search engines out there. Google is not the law of the Internet.
@KranklinLit is a requirement for and computer degree for the simple but complex fact that writing is reading and reading is writing, if you cant do one of those then you cant do the other. Understanding how to write a Java or HTML manual and their formats helps you learn how to understand the subject and its written text.When you do leave college with your computer science degree (I'm personally taking Computer Information Science) you'll be writing reports and replies back to your bosses and peers. They don't want shorthand IMs like "dude" and "wasup".
@wacer They may be young, but doesnt mean they dont have a PhD! I know few people who are only 21 and already got a PhD. One of them is doing a post doc and will finish it before he turns 23!
EagleRock:No, you're not. I agree that universities need to really crack down. Kick plagiarists out and never let them back in with no exceptions. That'd eliminate the 99% of the problem. The remaining 1%, the most dishonest and skilled cheaters, will go on to become politicians and cheat and steal and f**k up the world as they always have.
yo f**k google. f**k them. no really. i have never cheated on a paper and have never used online papers or whatever but how the f**k does google get off being the moral superior?????? they f**king capitulated to China to censor their results. that is restricting freedoms for 1 billion people!! almost a a 1/6th of the world's population can not have free access to information because of google's capitulation. that is soooo much worse than some petty cheating on high school and college essays. f**k them.
Google really has not blocked essay writing companies, has it? I see myriad ads flashing across every day. Google has only instructed advertisers not to use words like "Essay", "Essay help", "Term paper", etc in their ads. Advertisers in turn have started using all sorts of other words like "academic writing", "coursework", "homework help", "assignment writers", "dissertation writers", "research paper help" and many other apt terms that do not quite violate Google's advertising policy. I can't help bursting out in laughter... : )))) Have learned to analyze ads, but have found only a few good writing companies ;)
