Source: In November 2010, Cooks Source magazine was at the center of an Internet tornado after it was found that the magazine had stolen a writer's article without permission.

When caught cooks sourcing, a person then becomes unreasonably arrogant, demands compensation for orchestrating the screw-over, and claims professional expertise on applicable cyber laws while demonstrating that they actually have less expertise than a teenage boy who just discovered there are things other than porn on the internet.

A very well made game engine used in games such as Half Life 2 and Counter-Strike Source. It includes:
1) Awesome graphics
2) REALISTIC Physics
And much more. Like High Definition Range
The source engine is also very easy to modify (skins) which can be created in communities.

when co-workers shout out answers/suggestions from their cubicles in response to a question you've asked a single person.
I asked my supervisor how to resolve this issue, and he didn't really know, but I got this great cube-sourced resolution from my co-workers.
