Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance.
But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing.
Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort.
But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.

OK, I’m not a programmer, but it makes sense to me that this would somehow work.

During a break in lecture, he asked me, “So, do you transfer your [...]

I’ve often wondered what my poor TA’s must think when they see a computer printed version of a handwritten assignment. I’ll admit, it looks like it was copied with a copy machine, depending on how I print it. Unfortunately, it seems like some graders do mistake these innocent pieces of hard work as possible ethics violations.

For the past two years I’ve visited daily the same coffee shop next to my school (I’m a creature of habit). It offers free wifi, lots of tables, and good coffee, so it’s a student magnet.
Most days you see 90–100% of customers hunched over a Mac or a Dell of some kind, busily working on [...]
