Wow, thats pretty good. But I don't think its very practal to use in lower level programming courses, as everything is too redundant to be unique. Theres not much difference in writing a program that prints out the... multiples of 2 or something.
/me glad I never got caught, helped a lot of people on their programs, somehow making their programs starting to look like mine...
My CS classes a few years ago used something like it, don't know if it was MOSS, but basically we got our grade and a percentage of the likelihood we cheated. I think the lowest in the class was about 40%, with most in the 70% range. as far as I know, no one took it seriously, not even the professor who started this whole thing since it was really high across a 60 people class. and no one was booted because of it.
My wife and I were taking a software engineering class at MIT together and for one assignement we wrote a few tricky functions together. They ran a program on all the students' source code that reported all the lines that were the same. We got penalized for that problem set 
Good for them if it works........
but it seems to me that it could probably screw someone over..........
The simplest "tough" program I had to write in college were programs writing and using stacks, linked lists, and double linked lists in my Data structures class.......something like that would be very possible for more than one person to have the exact same program structure, especially in larger schools......
They didn't use anything like that where I went to school, but I wish they did. There was a large malaysian contingent in my CS program.....and because a lot of them (not all) didn't speak english very well, a lot of them shared and recycled work----I was a CS tutor and I saw it all the time.....it would have been nice for some of them to have been caught----especially one SOB who cheated

i never get papers online, but i do use sparknotes.com once in a while if i didnt read a book. or use the opinions at sparknotes book analysis as if they were my own.
