No I mean ISP's that run their own DNS resolvers.

I can guarantee you that popular DNS resolvers (think 500b+ transactions a day) do have this feature!

Don't want to say much more due to it being my job, and I don't want to give away too much.

If you're interested in that than you should look at the economy for Eve Online. It's definitely the closest thing ever created to a real economy which astounding amounts of information available to study. I'll provide some links that talk about Eve's market from economic standpoints, but these really only scratch the surface of what type of analysis is possible.

I agree completely, people always tell me that NoScript is too much of a hassle to use. But then two sentences later they'll complain about how ads cover content and distracting UI elements make it hard to navigate. I'd say 75% of the time I'm much happier with the NoScript version of websites.
Re:Harvard Forced Dozens to Leave in Cheating Scandal on Saturday February 02, 2013 @11:41AM (#5156422)
I'm not sure how cheating is handled outside my university, but they take it very seriously in my CS major. If we're caught cheating on any assignment we generally fail the course and have a note placed in our academic file, and are potentially removed from the major.
