Should you resign in your games?

I know a lot of people (most notably Levy) say that you should never resign. But at what point in a game is it hopeless? Does this change at a certain level (500+, 1000+, 1500+, 2000+ etc) or is it based on something else, like what pieces you've lost, or how much time you have? Interested in anyone's opinions on this.

Especially online, there is always the hope that your opponent will make a mistake... but is expecting this disrespectful? Or is it just playing the game?
