Gotcha

Well, I operate a bit differently. If I think it I usually say it. Pretty much an open book in that regards.

Good to know.

Well i guess that's the problem of writing about a very easy and common knowledge based subject. I can't specifically spot any plagiarism within the intros. Then, teaching the same way is not considered as plagiarism, i mean dude, what would all teachers world wide do?
He deserves the honor for his writing, although not for the maths and stuff behind it as he is just repeating what everybody should know ^^

I read them both, especially the intros as you suggested, and cannot see plagiarism.
Some things are so basic and so misunderstood from the lowly masses that teaching methods tend to become similar - I used almost the same words of both the introductions to teach the concept to my classmates years ago, but I don't really think that both of you microphoned my conversations and translated them from Italian just to post an article on CP

Its a pity it appears to be his blog - I'd happily tell them to cease & desist on THAT one - so much for that @sshole being an 'IT Professional'

Yeah, I left a comment on the blog, but I don't think it's gonna be approved by the moderator.

mate - at the end of the day, sometimes you just have to say fvck-em !!! accept that being on the morally high ground is all you're going to get, and let scumbags plagiarise etc - eventually, they'll get caught out .. we all know you, we know the quality of your work, so I raise a single digit to the scumbags and suggest you move on
