Ignore that's it's trivial, it's also copy'n'paste from MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dct97kc3(v=vs.140).aspx[^]
OK, he links to it, but take that out and there is nothing left at all!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Is definitely plagiarised: Google[^]

But from where? One of the links there is an article here from 2010: Top 10 CSS3 Commands[^]
From this: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=1033424[^]
But reading it, I'm not convinced that isn't copied as well. It's the bits like "We thought we'd put together some of our favourites..." which just sounds like a online-magazine piece rather than something an individual writer would produce for an article.
What do you think? Should we be kicking him as well? I'm not sure...

[Update]
I think perhaps we should: http://readnewsarchive.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/technical-news-04-august-2010.html[^] The actual article is gone, but if you search that page for "CSS" you get the full text of the introductory paragraph to the artcile here, but with a publication date 6 days earlier.

Trenton! You bad boy!

So nobody saw the spam link to some stupid code dotcom site at the end.
This is plagiarism decorated spam.

But this page[^] has a link to the article on Trenton's site, and is dated a day earlier than that. The article itself is dated 26 July 2010. Unsure | :~

However, the author's name on the "webcredible" article is Paul McCarthy, not Trenton Moss.
