>      College students have flooded into computer science courses
>    across the country, recognizing them as an entree to coveted
>    jobs at companies like Facebook and Google, not to mention the
>    big prize: a start-up worth millions.  The exploding interest
>    in these courses, though, has coincided with an undesirable
>    side effect: a spate of high-tech collegiate plagiarism.
>    Students have been caught borrowing computer code from their
>    friends or cribbing it from the internet.
