Asking a homework question is bad, but it isn't what you've done.
You've asked a question about your problem, which happens to be homework related. You've tried to do it and found a problem - so you asked for help.
That's very different from sitting with your thumb up your behind while you post your actual homework question with no sign or intent of even trying to do it yourself. Hence I didn't "answer" it with boilerplate text "We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason...".
Nobody (except possibly He Who Must Not Be Named) minds helping someone with a specific problem (except HWMNBN, who appears to like himself and nothing much else) even if it was started by your homework! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Just start your question with the correct greeting and you'll be fine!

I am going to guess that this is a perfect example of knowing the right people. If we didn't know you, you would be ashes by now.

There is nothing wrong with asking homework questions. It nauseates me to see people answer right away with "we don't do homework" without even trying to help.
Who cares if its homework? What tyrant set the rule that no homework is allowed?
Whether it's homework, work work, hobby work, slave work, or whatever, everyone deserves to be treated the same and if they ask the question clear enough they should get help.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Good point.

Exactly:
- If you've posted a clear question, and demonstrated that you've put some effort in to finding the answer yourself, then it deserves an answer.
- If you've just posted your list of requirements / homework question without making any effort to solve it yourself, then "we don't do your work / homework for you" is an acceptable response.

It depends on the question. The point of homework is to manage to do something on your own, without asking someone to do it for you, otherwise you have not learned anything.
The question does not necessarily need to be clear, but there must be evidence that the OP has tried something that did not work, or has at least made a bit of research, which he could not get by with. We do not solve other people's homework, because it is not helping them ultimately. Something like "Pls kindly help : In my linked list, here's the code, does not work here, googled for "pointer" but this and this did not work, what can I do ?" deserves an answer, but "Can you please provide with C# code for a machine that gives back change ?" definitely not.

I agree. But that statement is true whether homework is involved or not.

Mind, 98% of all homework-Q&A-posts consist of a 1-to-1 copy of the original assignment text and nothing else or maybe an added "plz help". At least a minuscule amount of effort before asking and specifying where exactly the individual difficulty is should be to be expected I think.

That may be true; but how hard is it for us to ask them where they are stuck?

Yes I agree with you there in general, I tried that a couple of times and there never was a response. My biological Apriori-Algorithm eventually came to a 100% certainty that if(!anySignOfEffort) { action=notWorthAsking; }

No, you didn't...You asked a questions that happened to be homework related (after all you are a student)...
A 'homework question' is one that list the question as it was given in the class with not the slightest sign of effort to actually solve it...
So relax - you got away this time (but next time do it in some decent language I have an allergy to Java  )...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

The guy sitting next to me is from Romania. We got talking about sports and what he likes from Romania. He mentioned that handball was one of his favorites and proceeded to pull up video on his computer.
Up to this point, I had thought Handball[^] was just a form of racquetball[^] where you used your hand instead of a racquet. It sounded stupid. Now, after watching the video, I'm surprised it isn't more popular! Now I'm wondering about all the other things I think are stupid. Like maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't have the most wins in curling!

linky broky.
Handball is quite popular in Europe and now more popular in the Gulf states where they buy themselves teams of mercenaries[^].
I loved to play Handball in high school, but my hands were/are too small to properly hold the ball.
I'd rather be phishing!
