Just Say No to Freeloaders...

So, the latest thing I've been getting into is Yahoo! Answers.  I was bored on one lunch break and was just surfing Yahoo! when I came across it.  If you've never seen it, or heard of it, essentially, it allows a user to ask a question (any question at all) and then allows Yahoo! users to answer them to the best of their abilities. Answers get rated by the person asking the question, and so on and so forth.  I personally like taking a look at the questions in the Computers and Internet section since that's what I'm most interested in.

Anyway, one thing that I find completely obnoxious is people abusing this system to try and get other people to do their homework for them.  These people don't even bother re-phrasing the question, or anything.  Something like:

Write a user-defined function to evaluate this mathematical function: f(x) = 0.1 x2 – x ln x ? 

 

Are you kidding me?  Are you trying to convince anyone that you didn't just copy/paste that from your homework?  At least say something like, Hey Guys, I'm having trouble with my homework and I'm stuck on this one question I can't seem to figure out.  But, instead, they're just pulling the question straight in and expecting someone to answer.  Out of control.
