I want to suggest Chris, please create a "Home Work" tag in QA. It would be very helpful to newbies.

It was disabled as it was being used pejoratively. Besides, people wouldn't use it anyway.

If the denizens of the lounge cannot follow directions, why would those seeking help with homework?

The Lounge is the place to made NOT to follow directions...

Most people are rubbish at giving directions, anyway -- e.g. in Birmingham, the only direction reference points are pubs:
"Turn left at The Nag's Head, turn right 237 yards past The King's Left Bollock", etc.
So not following directions is usually preferable.

Hah! We are lucky if we can get them to tag it with the right language ... and half of 'em try to pretend it isn't homework anyway!

Often it isn't. Frequently it's a case of "my employer told me to write X, hav u got codez plsss?" so "homework" is a bit of a misnomer.

Exactly. Also, I would not mind helping students with their "homework" if they were up front an honest about it and showed that they are trying. I don't see the harm. The core mantra with this site is learning, yes? -- learning and getting better.
I could be wrong... 
|
|
|
|
|
I totally agree.
But the ones who want someone, anyone, to do it all for them... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yes, I've no problem at all helping people with actual homework assuming that they've tried.
I jalways love those "what I have tried" sections that read "I can't code or use Google so I'm asking you lot instead." It's nothing if not honest ...

And all employers ask you to write a recursive factorial function!

Of course they do, and after you've done cursing them, you can recurse them again!

His instinctive approach to diplomacy is to hex 'em till they glow, then curse them in the dark." --- The late, great TP, "Sourcery"

Actually, it wouldn't. Their "question" would get closed by the QA police faster than they could post it. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Be curious to know your reaction to hands-on with the Arc, Sculpt, or Ergo meece from MS.
thanks ! Bill

I received an Arc as a gift a few years ago.
I use with a Win 10 Laptop and it's still going strong.
I like it, but it keep in mind there are only the basic buttons. No forward/back for example.
I hates meeces to pieces!

I stumbled on a video from Jaby Koay on YouTube. Thereafter, I was so hooked that spent good couple of hours watching similar videos. It is really interesting at least to me though.

Indian Baliwood movies tend to promote a regressive, non-forward thinking model of family relationships. It is 2016, people should be willing to explore other paradigms besides the typical cisgender roles presented in these movie.

You clearly have no clue about present day Indian film industry.
Based on your other posts, I am inclined to believe you are just a troll.

I think you may assume there is more intelligence there than ... there is.

I know, it's horrible. They should have a more deep exploration of slurpgender, or pontoongender, or other fictional things.

Got my vote ! That's an interesting way to put-it: are those your own neo-logisms ? I'm a little afraid what might turn up if I do a search on those.
cheers, Bill
