If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

How do I run/convert .js files from an online game to play offline?[^]

I removed the links (A tags), but left the URLs. And reported it as abuse.

What do you think?

Similar to this one[^], the member joined today, and posted a question with two site names in the title, and links to both in the body:

How do I create a website like ****** or ************?[^]
Member 13291268 - Professional Profile[^]

It's the same two sites as the previous report[^].

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

The answer is copied from the solution above it, two days older (so that's abuse) and they seem to be still posting crap. Sigh | :sigh:

Spammy question in QA - gone

This: Understanding Redis[^]
From this: Lalu Augustine - Professional Profile[^]
Is assembled from a kit. Start with this: Why Redis beats Memcached for caching | InfoWorld[^] and search both for:

Quote:
Memcached was originally developed by Brad Fitzpatrick in 2003 for the LiveJournal website. Since then, Memcached has been rewritten in C (the original implementation was in Perl) and put in the public domain, where it has become a cornerstone of modern Web applications. Current development of Memcached is focused on stability and optimizations rather than adding new features

Or this:

Quote:
Redis was created by Salvatore Sanfilippo in 2009, and Sanfilippo remains the lead developer of the project today. Redis is sometimes described as "Memcached on steroids," which is hardly surprising considering that parts of Redis were built in response to lessons learned from using Memcached. Redis has more features than Memcached and is, thus, more powerful and flexible.

Or this:

Quote:
Why are Memcached and Redis so popular? Not only are they extremely effective, they're also relatively simple. Getting started with either Memcached or Redis is considered easy work for a developer. It takes only a few minutes to set up and get them working with an application. Thus, a small investment of time and effort can have an immediate, dramatic impact on performance -- usually by orders of magnitude. A simple solution with a huge benefit; that's as close to magic as you can get.

Or ... you get the idea.

OK, he links to the original(s) - but wholescale copy and paste doesn't make an original submission to my mind.
