Not so. Daemon News is a technical journal that also appears in print.

Again, see the Merriam-Webster definition online.

No, Rahul, YOU are. Your arguments have been so weak that you've 
now resorted to arguing ad hominem against authoritative sources
such as Webster's dictionary and the MLA Manual.

You are apparently unwilling, at any cost, to admit that you did 
not know the full meaning of the word "plagiarism." I think I've
proved to the satisfaction of any resonable person that what Greg 
did crossed well over the line, and that he owes me, at the very 
least, an apology.
