Exactly. And the better ones can never be uninstalled, this is by design 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Yes.... But it is also a way of saving data.

But is it ROM or RAM or possible WORM?

No.
Software is a set of instructions, so installing that is more comparable to potty-training. Reading a book is a form of acquiring data. If the set of instructions can use the data, we stop calling it data and dub it "information".
Next time your installer throws an error, be glad it tells you what is wrong and that you don't have to train it for months

It used to be, but sadly that's been replaced by a far less desirable GUI delivered by the TV.

No, they just upload data.

Does anyone who posts their assignments on here hoping to get them done for them ever consider that the examiners might also look here?
And if they do will they fail them for basically cheating (my lecturers would have certainly "F"ed me for such behaviour)

No - because they delete the question when it's working.
Do you think they ever consider that the examiner might be the person answering the question?

Or sometimes it would be the other way round lol!!!!!

Don;t laugh too hard - we've had a couple of "teachers" trying to get solutions before they start marking...

Now you see: Darwin was right.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

What? that they would make a better capital than Canberra?

From the context, i would say that's another story. Should I agree now or better not?

"Helping" is allowed, but I doubt that anyone would do another persons' work.
So, no, I do not see any difference with workers who ask their work to be done for them

Then there was the teacher who asked his students to post their solutions as articles here and that votes would be part of their grade.

Any lecturer\prof worth their salt will probably know when people are cheating anyway. If you ask random "pros" on the net chances are you'll get answers using techniques etc not covered on the course, or things might just look too "good" in general. When I was at uni anyway we'd be asked questions about our code if they suspected cheating. This was back in the day when people used gopher rather than google, and cheating was done by undeleting the projects of other students from the uni hard drives rather than asking people for solutions on the net. They'd ask probing questions about why certain decisions were made, why things were done a certain way.
And besides, do you really think these people care? Anyone stupid enough to pursue a career in programming who can't even google is stupid enough to think that they can get good grades by cheating.
What annoys me more than students are the ones who obviously work in code-farms who have neither the aptitude nor ability for the job, they just want the money, and any time they are given a task they just beg and plead for other people to do their job for them. They don't want to *learn* the job either, they just want you to "give me the code". Trying to get a free ride through life on the backs of others. On any forum I look at I'd say easily 80-90% of threads are started by these people. It's a joy when you find someone that just wants to learn, and can learn, and just needs a push in the right direction where they then flesh out the code themselves.
