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.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

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.

There was a thread about Help or Code Vampires the other day. Perhaps these people could be classified as "Code Leeches" or just plain old burger flippers...

I don't think so, if it was they would have tried to "F" him anytime it was feasible

Nah - everything is written down, scripted, and controlled to the picosecond in those places.
They don't trust Software Development rejects and "Resting" actors to make any decisions!

That's too bad, seeing how they just joined today and already accumulated over 300 points. At that rate, they could catch me in just 20 days, and I've been here for years! At least that person did take a few creative seconds to change the display name to something other than Memberxxxxxx.

I think you get 300 bonus points when you first sign up. Since he only signed up today, I suspect it's the poor soul's very first interaction with CP!

We should have directed him to yahoo answers. I still don't get why people come here (the lounge) asking such silly questions.
