I think some of the regulars there have completely lost it. -

I'd love to see a steven lim vs xiaxue deathmatch!!! -
still think that Day of the Tentacle was one of the greatest games ever made... and if they reissued it on today's OS like XP and OSX, i'd buy it in a flash
was thinking, if you could be a character in a computer game what would you be.. there are 2 topics on that already
i want to be Hoagy from DotT

Ok, I just got the reworked version from the guy whom I accused of plagiarism.
It's a significant improvement, but I can still find a handful of lines which are plagiarised wholesale. Some other lines were simply reworked slightly, but Google Advance Search ratted them out.
On top of that, he didn't place any in-text citations! All he did was cut and paste the URLs of his sources! What, am I supposed to scan his entire text and decide which in-text citations to put in and where I should place them?
As we speak I'm scanning his work sentence by sentence. KNN... I don't have time for this.
All hell shall break loose tomorrow. -

Ok... I've finished scanning through his work and checked every single sentence he wrote with Google Advanced Search. Very tiring and painstaking work.
At least 10% of the sentences he wrote have either been plagiarised wholesale or modified only slightly. I can accept that perhaps some of them were pure coincidences.
But then again, sentences supposedly written by him like this one have appeared in online research articles word-for-word:
'Nuclear power generation is an internationally controversial issue but most experts and the public in China believe that nuclear power is safe and clean, so the Chinese government will continue to actively develop nuclear energy. '
I refuse to believe that the exact same sentence can coincidentally be thought up by two different people a few thousand kilometers apart. The article in question was written in the University of Alberta... that's in Canada.
Bugger it. He's dead meat.
He's totally ruined my night.... I'm going jogging to cool off. -
let it become a cold slow burn...
you become scarier this way
watching this bunch of dudes using rebreathers go down to 250 feet... they sound like donald duck now

i dont have plagiarism issues from my project mates, but one frustrating thing is that they could not analyse the data they have or check their work to make sure it makes sense
at the end of the day, the report has to make sense, add value to the reader's knowledge, strong in its argument, written in a comprehensible sequence..but a lot of my friends, especially the ladies are very guilty of just taking data and dumping it in
sigh
