Slow Tuesday, hour 2

Will she be live, or Memorexed?

M.A. Foster's new article doesn't make me feel like such a pack-ratty geek...for today.

I've been following this story for the past few days, I feel pretty bad for the kid. Al directed me to this one. And, I mean, Al and I both are interested in this story just for what it says about "big issues" like copyrights and such-and-such. But just on a personal level, as someone who in high school was accused of plagarism and received a failing grade on something I worked hard on, I can sympathize. There's nothing like the hopeless feeling a youngster gets when one of his teachers completely doubts his or her abilities. I personally think Steve did the assignment and, at the very least, deserves a passing grade. Steve, you'll probably never read this, but I wish you the best of luck.
