The student concerned finds that he can't execute programs from his USB memory stick: the system isn't setting the execute bit upon compilation or honouring chmods. I don't know is this is because of the format of his stick or if the system is doing something to make it difficult -- but I reckon it's something that most of us would like to know the answer to before buying.
If the memory stick is FAT formatted then I am not surprised chmod isn't working. If it isn't FAT, then I don't know.
