I just spend an hour typing something up and I was almost finished when the window randomly closed itself- just like that. I've no clue what happened. Is there any way I could find it again on a computer room computer? I really can't believe this.

Time once again to review the winners of the Annual "Stella Awards." The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in N.M.). That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits...

The people who (because they are dyslexic etc) write their exams on a computer, when is that? At the same time as the rest of their course or is there one specific day where all who are allowed to use a PC due a medical condition etc have their exams, no matter what they study?

How much of your text (%) is allowed to consist of direct quotes (obviously with correct referecing and quotation marks etc) in an academic paper?

I don't quite get the other comments- as long as you're having fun, boys. ;) I couldn't find it on SALT...

Quoting munchingfoo from 00:10, 5th Dec 2006 Well, if you put something in quotation marks it has to be exactly what the person wrote/said. If you paraphrase inside quotation marks (Which is what I thought you were on about) then thats obviously bad since its not a quote and may not be exactly what...

Quoting munchingfoo from 21:38, 4th Dec 2006 I'd have thought the issue with what you mention is that paraphrasing is a misquote and could be used out of context. [hr] Tired Freudian references aside - your mother played my mighty skin flute like a surf crowned sea nymph trying to rouse Poseidon fr...

Link? Well, go to WebCT,

Has anyone ever taken the academic fraud test on the SALTIRE website? I DID SO POORLY!!! It's shocking how so many things that I did not consider plagiarism are. I believed that if you reference something and obviously use quotations marks and paraphrase it you'd be fine. I really simply didn't know.

Hey, does anyone know a UK version of this:
http://www.americancandy.de/

I mean a UK page where you can order American food?

I'm trying to save an image that I scanned with a uni scanner. How does that work? I can't find any "Save" section.

No, still not working for me. But a different account that I have access to on the same server works.

I believe that some here will disagree completely with me on this one, but.... this is not one, but two lives wasted. What must have happened (or not happened to you) in order for you to be so violent (senselessly violent) and full of rage that you kill in the way the second Thomas did?!? I don't be...

I just found a really awful mistake on Wikipedia and would like to edit the page to correct it. But it says that I don't have an account so that people will be able to see my IP address. I don't even know what that is though... *blush*
Could someone explain, please?

Odd question, I know: But is there any way I can disable the internet function on classroom computers and still be able to see and work on my documents? I keep procrastinating- it's simply to easy.

Quoting LonelyPilgrim from 16:58, 20th Oct 2006 Quoting fran from 15:41, 20th Oct 2006 Such a condescending post doesn't deserve an answer. Unfortunately, this *might* just be exactly as you intended. I'm sorry you viewed my post as condescending. The 'capital offense' comment wasn't directed at yo...

That's handy. Take two sentences from the post out of context and use them to justify ignoring the rest ...

Quoting LonelyPilgrim from 15:27, 20th Oct 2006 Fran, I get the feeling that you haven't read a great deal about rape. I'm quite surprised no one jumped on me for that, or did you just not know what 'capital offense' means? [hr] Arma virumque cano... Such a condescending post doesn't deserve an ans...

Quoting flarewearer from 13:15, 20th Oct 2006 Quoting fran from 11:59, 20th Oct 2006 That's such bullshit- I can't believe you guys think that. A woman who is raped is either unconscious or concious. Yes, but what he is saying is that she could be conscious but not coherent, i.e. heavily under the ...

Quoting McK from 20:33, 19th Oct 2006 Quoting fran from 19:09, 19th Oct 2006 Quoting Humphrey from 12:11, 19th Oct 2006 It’s all academic really. Last year 900 alleged rapes were reported in Scotland and the conviction rate was 39 (4.3 %). Now either all those women were lying or (as has been point...
