There should be a Q.0 in every computing related exam asking for a definition of a trivial concept, say an array. The question should carry no more than 1% of the final mark, but if the examinee cannot answer 100% the question then they fail the entire exam.
F'em if they can't take it!

Never mind your undergrad work; the DOS based tetris game i wrote my junior year of HS at a final project over the course of about 2 months is a few orders of magnitude greater in scope than this kidiot's farce. 
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Even better: Just send an email notification to your teacher that you are no good for this subject.

Every time I see a post like this I think there should be a requirement that you have to be a member for a month before you're allowed to post anything.

IMO that's a bad idea, the only thing it would achieve is increasing the number of posts marked urgent.

Because they waited the month to post their stupid question, rather than spending the month learning or doing something constructive?

are you hinting at reading some of the documentation? studying a book? browsing some CP articles? all that is boring, typing some "need help, please, urgent" text-speak messages is much more fun. You can't deny people some fun, can you?

Well, I suppose I wouldn't want to deny us the fun of ridiculing people like that.

don't worry, whatever they do to the site, we will get ample opportunity.

Get your money back you obviously have not learned anything.

Now if the failure to learn something is with the school or uni, I can understand you try and get your money back. But is the uni at fault here?

If he's is dumb enough to try and get us to do his homework for him, he might be dumb enough to try and get his money back. I probably should have phrased it to be more like a suggestion...

You can see the gender of a name like "vinithakizhussery"? 
|
|
|
|
|
If you know the naming convention of the culture it comes from when why not?
Where it gets fuzzy is when people do daft things like name their daughter Mackenzie (Son of Kenneth)
|
|
|
|
|
So, what culture does it come from?
|
|
|
|
|
What? The OP's name? No idea. But if a person recognised it and could work out gender from a name...
For example, is "Colin" masculine of femenine? For an English speaker the answer is fairly obvious, but if you are from another culture that has never come in contact with cultural conventions of English speakers then it might no be obvious.
As for Mackenzie it is Gaelic in origin. The "Mac" (or more recently "Mc") prefix on a name means "Son of".

Very true. I thought Brady Kelly to be female. But its not the case.
|
|
|
|

Well Vinitha seems Indian name. That too from South India where people use "th" in places where North Indian will use "t". Rest cannot be decoded by me.
