My "Save For Later" bookmarks folder has filled up unusually fast since my previous list o' links so long ago. Here are some of the gems I have collected:
- – Purdue's computer science program and I both agree that cheaters are scum. Freshman year, the TAs told us about a shadoy system called MOSS that checked our computer programs against a huge database of other students' projects to make sure our work was original. They never told us how it worked nor that it was based out of . I was amazed to find this explaining the theory behind the system as well as various types of .

Fortunately, if you look more deeply into the economic function of software in general, it's easy to establish that Open Source is both sustainable and of tremendous benefit to the overall economy."
