I've always wondered why they didn't make a sequel.

At the end of "Buckaroo Banzai" there is a credit which invites viewers to watch for a sequel entitled "Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League." BB was directed by W.D. Richter in 1984. Richter set to work on a sequel to BB, presumably the one about the World Crime League. John Carpenter then stole Richter away from the idea and morphed his idea into the script for "Big Trouble in Little China." Go figure.

etaoin was right, and I always do that. I think I already typed somthing but I didn't and even when I re read it, I see it there.
Also, I just watched Buckaroo Banzia a few days ago. I liked it, if you ever get the DVD version, watch the subtitiles, they are not really subtitles but filled with weird facts about BB. All fake of course but still good.

When I went back to school a while ago (to GMU), they had begun a policy of academic integrity. Apparently this is all the rage on campuses these days, but I don't know that students take it very seriously for the most part. The prof was adamant and I was actually very happy to include an acknowledgements section to every homework and other assignment. Typically I included an entire page, but here's a copy of one the shortest - taken from our final (take home) exam. ---- Acknowledgements I have neither given nor received aid on this exam. However, I have used several references while formulating my responses. I used the Silberschatz and Tanenbaum texts. I also reviewed many of Denning’s course slides (particularly those on synchronization, security, and queueing). I wrote a program to do mean value analysis that is a direct implementation of the MVA algorithm given in Denning’s lecture slides and course notes. There is no original material in this. It is my own imperfect interpretation of what I have read and heard in lectures. I have also browsed web pages at (1) http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/honey/crypto/lecture-14/lecture%2014.PPT(2) http://www.esign.com.au/guide/guide.shtml(3) http://archive.entrust.com/resourcecenter/pdf/tech_overview.pdf(4) http://www-itg.lbl.gov/security/Akenti/pk_infrastructure.vg.pdf(5) http://www.ise.gmu.edu/~csis/infs762/handouts/handout11.pdf(6) http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg245512.pdf(7) http://www.cs.uni-sb.de/~anja/lehre/vorlesung00/book/Computer_Networking/07.05.htmFinally, I received several (at least five or six) responses from Professor Denning clarifying parts g and i of problem 1, and the code sample in problem 2.

In addition to having an "acknowledgements" section, you should include a bibliography for a formal paper. It's *very* easy to plagiarize though. If you read a lot, you can inadvertently borrow some particular phrasing and not realize it. Additionally, it's easy to miss a point in your reading, then gradually to figure it out - and think it was your own idea.
I'm glad schools seem to be taking this more seriously, but they still need some work on getting the word out. My daughters get this in HS, BUT for example, last year the older girl got two sets of instructions from two different teachers - but they disagreed with each other.
Also, the teachers don't enforce it very rigorously. One of my daughter's friends actually bragged that she downloaded reports directly off the internet and this girl is near the top of her class.
