Outsourcing Programming Assignments

My previous post this morning sparked an interesting discussion on outsourcing homework. I started googling around and discovered that I seem to have completely missed these two discussion waves:

• Jan 18, 2006 Wall Street Journal: Some Students Use Net
  To Hire Experts to Do Their School Work

• Jan. 18, 2006, RealTechNews : Students Using Rent-A-Coder.com to Outsource Programming Homework
• Jan. 18, 2006, Slashdot:
  Computer Science Students Outsource Homework
  
  
• June 26, 2008, Tom's Hardware: I outsourced my homework to India
• June 26, 2008, a blog: My Homework got lost in India
  
• July 4, 2006, India edunews: Students in Australia outsourcing homework to India

So maybe personal interviews or program-while-we-watch is the only way to go?
