I got about two months off of QA... Now it is final. It is not me! Things didn't improved in my absence...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I dunno - it's been a lot "friendlier" and "less judgemental" for a couple of months. Not the absence of yourself, I suspect, it started around the beginning of July and you were still posting in mid August.
We do have a fine crop of lazy, stupid, and rude students at the moment though - new Uni terms have started I suspect and learning stuff does so get in the way of a student's social life.

I fear to even look at QA as I'm sure 'someone' will tell me I'm looking in the wrong way...

To be sure - I was 'judgmental' (but not unfriendly I believe) at the beginning, but that was like 2 years ago...since then I have learned a lot and try to control myself...

Never thought of you as judgemental or unfriendly - but we have a few who enjoy that kind of behaviour...

I disagree. He-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named Jr appears to no longer visit the site. So that is a plus.

I see, obviously I don't visit Q/A frequent enough to know what's the problem.

Yeah... you are not missing a single thing there. I used to have hope for the future of mankind, then I went to QA.

I would hope that he also got an automatic Fail in the assignment, for his attempted cheating.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Is there a link to the original question on SO?
I find it very hard to believe that answer would receive 6 upvotes and moreso that the question has a score of 0...
|

Wow, that has surprised me. I cannot believe that answer didn't get a single downvote. It should have been crucified.
I guess the UNIX crowd are a bit more generous on SO...
Interesting though, if you check the answer edit history the 'teacher' removed the name "Daniel"... how did he know it was Daniel? Maybe he only gave the assignment to one student... or maybe... he faked the whole thing!

I would expect on Stack Overflow everyone jumping on the teacher's case for a post that does nothing to answer the question...etc. Typical SO nonsense.
Yeah, you'd think students would realize that google works both ways.

That's not an answer! I think the accepted answer to this question is quite good and doesn't answer the homework question directly. But of course he should try to brainstorm and figure out where to start.

Coding, coding and coding. I might get 5 minutes break fro some coding as well.
Now ask this question when I'm driving and it might be closer to axe murderer

Understood. But there's coding, then there's CODING. Some forms could be dangerous to others, not just yourself (the usual kind).

I suspect Nagy may be one of the very few modern Hungarians to carry the rare genetic Magyar markers that go back to their ancestral origins in the great steppes, and these mutations, related to adapting to intense alcohol use to survive the harsh weather on the steppes, may enable his tolerance for massive imbibation.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I suspect that if Nagy contains any Magyar genetic markers, we need to do some research on the usage of Gin and Pörkölt for genetherapy.
And in my limited experience, the local plum brandy would probably be a more likely culprit.
