It's usually a good idea to ask before printing someone else's material. If you're looking for a good regular sudoku site that allows you to use in a print source, try http://www.brainbashers.com/sudoku.asp. All he asks is that you use his copyright notice, and send him a copy of the first printing. The puzzles he creates are wonderful, and there's one out every day.

if you use some words or facts from a published work, you should make a footnote and say where it came from.\n\nIf you reproduce a large portion of a published work (like several pages), you should contact the author or publishing company for permission.

Nope. Just make sure you make enough copies the first time or scan and print. This is assuming you aren't trying to find out what someone else printed. eh eh.

Google, or better, a library. But make sure it is a legit source and that you follow MLA guidelines in citing the source.

They are really quality answers. Very well written, to the point and informative. However, just some things you might want to keep in mind... answers like the hypothesis one or red pony were i think answered in a way best suited to Yahoo Answers. But for example you included one of your papers along with the professor's name, course number, etc. etc.... i would not want to include an entire paper of mine in which i had put in so much time and effort, on a site like this. other's might plagiarize even without meaning to do so, and it is best to give them pointers or general comments rather than sharing your entire work. But that's just my opinion, you may feel comfortable sharing it. If I were you, i would keep some of my really good ideas to myself rather than divulging everything... because in the world of academics, original ideas count.

The latest issue of Dr.Dobbs Journal has an article about Sudoku. They include source code for a program you can build that solves a lot of the puzzles.\n\nThis is a VC++/MFC project so you would have to build it using VC++, unless of course you just lift the algorithm and build your own framework to run it.

turnitin.com\nThis site will tell you what's been copied, what's not in a student's own words, and where the copied material is from. It's a great resource for teachers, and it has a huge database that it draws from. It takes from websites, known sources, as well as each item that a person submits.

This is unethical. If you are caught passing this off as your own you can be expelled. It's not worth the effort. Do it yourself. Why pay for something written by someone else? Why waste your money?\nAlso- this old saying is true "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

I suggest you write the paper yourself. There is a website that most professors use called "turnitin.com" that scans the paper for plagersim.  Any paper bought or downloaded form the internet will show up on this site's scan. Plagerism is not only illegal but from what I have seen, it will get you kicked out of either that class or worse, get kicked out of college.

Better not to.  Only use Id. when it's very clear what the prior cite is.  Use the short cite.

So long as you own the original copyies then it is legal to download a copy of it, however please be aware that if you do not own the original then you are violating copyright laws.\n\nI urge the last poster to edit the links, or at least to put a legal disclaimer before you get reported. Its in your interest to do so.\n\nThank You\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah

Half.com is where I get all of my textbooks. As a matter of fact I bought this same book from half.com.  Check the feedback of the person you buy it from though.  I have never had a problem and the prices are great.

You're treading on dangerous ground if you do. Legally, you can if it is common knowledge. Of course, then you have to prove that it is common knowledge.\n\nThere's a simple way around that. If you paste anything into your answer, put the link to it under sources. By giving credit, you keep it legal.

It is illegal to MAKE a copy, regardless if you sell it or not.\nThe section is:\nUSC 17 106-1.\n[1]
