Re: Not comfortable with this question Chris Maunder7-Jan-20 3:40 Chris Maunder 7-Jan-20 3:40  A tricky one but there is tons of info lying around for questions like these, regardless. The biggest problem here is that the question "What are prerequisites to code for bypassing any network" is too vague to be a question that can be answered with a sensible, specific answer. cheers Chris Maunder Using limited demo versions of paid libraries in articles? Thomas Daniels4-Jan-20 7:46 Thomas Daniels 4-Jan-20 7:46  This article in moderation: Converting Excel file to image format[^] (that, if anything, should be a Tip, but that's another point) demonstrates how to do something with the Spire.XLS for .NET library, which is a paid library but with a free demo version offering very limited functionality[^] (i.e. the free version only allows reading/writing a limited number of rows from an Excel file). Is it acceptable to have articles/tips that use these kind of libraries as foundation? [Edit] Considering that it got closed as Spam, I think I have my answer there modified 5-Jan-20 7:41am. Re: Using limited demo versions of paid libraries in articles? Chris Maunder7-Jan-20 3:40 Chris Maunder 7-Jan-20 3:40  cheers Chris Maunder Sock puppets accounts phil.o7-Dec-19 12:19 phil.o 7-Dec-19 12:19  Ashutosh Gpta[^] and Rajeev Panday[^] The former has been kicked for plagiarism earlier this week and the latter, presenting himself as his roommate, tried to speak in his favour. But reading OP's comment to the answer of the second (solution 2) of How to dynamically add XML elements to XML files keeping the same format using linq to XML C#[^], the sock-puppetry is now kind of blattant. Should we let him persist in his schyzophrenia? The first account is on the way to be flagged again anyway, since he reposted some material which was questionable in the first place. "Five fruits and vegetables a day? What a joke! Personally, after the third watermelon, I'm full." Re: Sock puppets accounts Chris Maunder7-Jan-20 3:42 Chris Maunder 7-Jan-20 3:42  They seemed to have settled down cheers Chris Maunder Addition of C# sample would add value to this? Sharath C V2-Sep-19 21:02 Sharath C V 2-Sep-19 21:02  Changing Console Text & Background Color[^] With regards to the article mentioned above, I feel that in addition to C++, it would be good to have C# sample as well as C# is more relevant. Would like to know what others feel about this article... Re: Addition of C# sample would add value to this? Thomas Daniels3-Sep-19 20:05 Thomas Daniels 3-Sep-19 20:05  I feel that the article would fit better as a Tip. I don't see what language choice has to do with the moderation of an article, though. If an author chooses to write their article/tip in C++ then it's exactly that, a C++ article/tip. It should not be held back just because it's not your language of choice or because another language is more "relevant". Re: Addition of C# sample would add value to this? Sharath C V4-Sep-19 2:59 Sharath C V 4-Sep-19 2:59  Agree, thanks for your thoughts on both points, this being better as a Tip than an article and the point regarding language. This One is Disappointing Rick York14-May-19 16:51 Rick York 14-May-19 16:51  Why GuiLite is the Simplest GUI Library?[^] This is what you typically see on a website for a software product - a sales brochure, and not much more. I can't believe it was approved. "They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Spam Battle Rick York29-Apr-19 6:23 Rick York 29-Apr-19 6:23  These two users : https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=14289958 and https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=14346286 seem to be having a contest of who can post the most spam. It's coming so fast they appear to be posting with a script of some sort. others are doing it too : https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=14346331 and https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=14346334 Their format seems to be fairly consistent so they are making it easy for you to make a little filter that could notify you when it sees an article posted with lots of Unicode text in the title.

Re: Spam Battle Chris Maunder29-Apr-19 12:07 Chris Maunder 29-Apr-19 12:07  Yep - we're actively working on this. It's a continuation of what those guys have been doing for the last few weeks. Looks like they have up'd the ante and intent on wasting our time. cheers Chris Maunder This Is Acceptable? Rick York24-Apr-19 6:42 Rick York 24-Apr-19 6:42  Article : C Program for Strassen's Matrix Multiplication of Any Order (Power of 2)[^] This article is horrible. It is very little more than a header file dump. It has no discussion of the implementation or examples of use or anything else that would be helpful. I can't believe it was approved. I would have voted against it if I had seen it before. "They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?" Re: This Is Acceptable? Chris Maunder25-Apr-19 6:15 Chris Maunder 25-Apr-19 6:15  The article has been deleted. cheers Chris Maunder Article or a Blog Post? Rick York2-Apr-19 9:54 Rick York 2-Apr-19 9:54  The #1 Rule of Cryptography[^] This guy has been writing a series of blog posts and I think this one was mis-categorized. It is way too short to be an article so I think it should be another of his blog posts. "They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?" Re: Article or a Blog Post? Chris Maunder2-Apr-19 9:56 Chris Maunder 2-Apr-19 9:56  Agree.
