Yeah, if you did that it might be in Latex or something (I don't know what the cool kids use). Definitely not HTML, anyway.

When I was at university, one of the lecturers showed us the plagiarism detection tool. Sure, it gave you a percentage, but it also gave you some output showing the passages in the text vs. what the program thought those passages had been taken from. He showed that most of the things that the tool had detected there were inconsequential, on the paper he was using for the demonstration.

People say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but what about puns?

Taliban were the government. People associated with Al-Qaeda did 9/11. Taliban were harbouring Al-Qaeda members because they asked for some evidence of their involvement in the attacks. There was more to it than that, of course. Those were the actors though.

The source is BSD. Why isn't that enough?

Isn't this (i.e. classifying 3d objects under rotation, distortion etc) already basically solved? It's the sort of thing you assign people MSc projects to do...

Corporatism doesn't mean that corporations take over the government. It's a political/economic system where groups of people are held to be the basic units of society, rather than individuals. These groups (which can include unions and the like) are referred to as corporations, but not in the sense of publicly traded limited liability companies, but in the sense of the Catholic Church being a "corporate entity." These corporations could have some kind of official representation, and could be tied to some state-granted monopoly. Under Fascism in Italy, these entities were mere extensions of the state, and bowed to its wishes. In other countries that have practised corporatism, such as Australia, it has taken a softer tone: there "the accord" had unions promising wage restraint in exchange for greater welfare commitments. In this case, as in others, it was more an extension of collective bargaining, which can occur alongside a relatively free, capitalist country.

Authoritarian policies are permanently pushed by the various gov't departments (particularly the Home Office), for a number of reasons that are easy to guess. When they get their way, it is because the respective minister is too weak/naive to stand up to them. For instance, Charles Clarke and David Blunkett, both seen as very authoritarian Home Secretaries, have all given statements expressing quite different views... when out of office. They were essentially inept ministers, not authoritarian ones.

Many of the laws being introduced in the UK are clearly not intended to ever get to court. They're just pretexts for police harassment.
