Definition of Irony: Plagiarism Edition

From NPR this morning:

Students at the University of Texas at San Antonio were determined to uphold standards at their school. They wrote an honor code that discouraged both cheating and plagiarizing. But they weren't going to waste a lot of time writing the darn thing themselves. The wording of a draft of the honor code appears to match the honor code at Brigham Young University. The student in charge of the project says the lack of a proper citation was just an oversight.

Whoops. Not saying it was intentional, but if you are going to write something on plagiarism, make sure to use appropriate citations.

Like I always say, not saying it was intentional, but if you are going to write something on plagiarism, make sure to use appropriate citiations.

While I was reading the UT ethics story in the paper paper after lunch, I looked up at my computer monitor and saw this story at Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com) "Sony BMG's hypocrisy: company busted for using warez." Sony, "one of the most vocal supporters of the RIAA and IFPI antipiracy efforts" is being sued for software piracy. A double dose of irony.

FUCK ALL YALL I would kill someone if they sued my child.....dead
