12 year-old's program kills plagiarism
This is funny - straight from The Inquirer:
A TWELVE year old kid [Nicholas Hinds] has put the wind up countless Kiwi students by interesting their Universities in a little plagiarism program he wrote. So far so good. BUT: Unfortunately the program works so well that it netted one plagiarism suspect – step forward 12 year-old computer Whiz kid Nicholas Hinds. His teacher Frank Lewthwaite found Nicholas had apparently borrowed material from an internet site. Can you believe it? He is only twelve! When I was twelve, I was still playing arcade games on my Commodore Amiga 500! Heh, but at least I wasn't caught plagiarizing

It would be interesting to know what the program does.
