Is it legal for a University to assign trademarked games of others to its students for programming?
Dr. Tom Van Laerhoven of Hasselt University, Belgium, gave student Rutger Bevers my (copyrighted and trademarked) award-winning game Hijara to program. When asked, Laerhoven said, "Yes, we gave him the assignment to find a good AI for this game (Hijara). We take existing games because it's easier than inventing fake ones. Hijara was also in the assignment list last year. I looked at your game list, as far as I can tell, most of them would be suitable. I see no problem with this." As my permission was neither asked nor granted, I believe I am a victim of trademark and copyright infringement by Hasselt University. http://bit.ly/hijara

Well, then you can sue for damages, can’t you? What, no damages? Then what are you complaining about? Did not the university or the professor using his budget buy the game outright? As long as neither he, himself, nor the person he gave it to, republishes it in any way, no-one is being harmed.

Which European country should I go to?
Which European country should I go to?
Next year, I'm going to be a foreign exchange student, and I have to pick 5 countries that I want to spend an entire year in. I already chose sweden and iceland as 2 of my 5 top picks. Which 3 should I choose to round out my top 5? and why? Here is my list of countries that I wouldn't mind spending a year in. Let me know which ones you would choose! Belgium Latvia Czech Rep. Romania Russia Ukraine I'm 18 if that means anything. there are a lot of other awesome countries, but I don't meet the requirements for them, and I can only pick one that I don't meet the requirements for. they are: Hungary Netherlands Finland If you want to pick one of those, that would be great too!

don't go to Europe, it's overrated. go to Africa. much better.

You only increase the problem of the white genocide and mass-immigration to a country of which you do not belong to. Stay with your own damn people.
3 :
First of all, why is Holland not on your list? For shame! Anyway, definitely Belgium, they have good parties. I bet Russia and Ukraine are good places to visit too.
4 :
Czech Republic and Belgium would be at the top of my list, Belgium would be #1 if I couldn't live in or around Prague. Good for you though, either way you should have an amazing year. EDIT: Of your second list I'd definitely go with the Netherlands, Hungary and Finland would be great too.
5 :
Belgian people are douche bags. Don't go to Latvia, Czech Rep. might be fine. "Romania is the a$$hole of the world"-South Park. Russia is in Asia, Ukraine is a downgraded version of Russia. I would pick None, you got the worst choices. I hope this helped.

WTF?? Why isn't Germany there!! You should come to Munich, you just missed the Oktoberfest but the after party's are still running. Since Germany isn't there I'd recommend Belgium because they speak English as well as German/Swedish/French, also it is quite a "young" country, what I mean by that is that the younger generation are quite influential there. For e.g. They can sometimes determine student fees and protest heavily if the govt do not help them out enough. Also it is a multicultural society (this probably doesn't matter to you) and everything is pretty equal. I say Ukraine because that's the only one I know out of the other 3 (I know Belgium well) Ukraine are ok, some parts are good, they speak Russian and German and some can speak English, they have a big Football (soccer) league there. SO they are big on sports. The people seems nice, they recently elected a new prime minister, quite a young one and is good. Lastly, Russia preferably in Moscow, big city, lots of English speaking people there, main language is Russian and some French. (from the french settlers there) Lots of decent things to do there, basically it;s just a big city of fun but you can get lost easily and if you can't speak or acknowledge basic Russian it will be hard for you, this is why I chose this in 3rd place. DAMN, I gotta finish my last semester @ Uni then I'm off to forensic school but I gotta decide what country I want to study in. Everyone saying America. Man IDK! LOL.

I got nominated from my teacher at school and went to the week trip to New York. Do not go on the p2p trip. I regret spending all that money. The trip was the worst week of my summer and hated it. I am not one to get homesick, but I cried every night because it was so impersonal and there was so many students. They have over 1,000 students signed up for the inauguration of the president. That shows you that they are just in it for the money. I warn you, DO NOT GO! It is a waste of money, if anything, spend the money on going with your family or studying abroad for a semester. People to People is a rip off and a waste. They are just in it for the money!

Any suggestions on how to make enough money to go on my student exchange?
Any suggestions on how to make enough money to go on my student exchange?
It's $7500 trip for six months (to belgium) and I'm 16. I have to pay for it on my own pretty much. I have 2 part times jobs, and in the summer i will be getting another one that pays like...500 a week. I make jewelery and such things to sell and I'm holding a chocolate bar fundraiser. Is it possible for a 16 year old to take out a loan from the bank? I also need spending money for the trip as well so...

You will not be able to borrow from a bank for this trip and it would be a mistake to borrow from anyone else. If you cannot save the money, you need to postpone the trip a year.
