Hall Of Shame


This topic is for show how low people and go when it comes to programming. By this I mean it is quotes and stores about relay stupid things people say or do when it comes to programming and computers (note this is not to make fun of any one who is new to programming but people that are lazy and do not whont to do any work. Such as spamers, dum teachers, or people who ask for other people to do there work for them.) We don't whont this to turn in a major flame war, we just to whont to piss the cheaters' off Wink

I will start us off with the 1st entry to the hall of shame:

**asks question**

Theres the test question ive gotta do in the next hour. If some one could PLEASE give me the turing code for this I'd do anything.

Thanks.


His re to some one helping him:

Hey,
no, thats it! the whole damn test. you just got me perfect!
Actually if you want to do somethin real nice... You can make a seperate copy of that assignment, for my freind. just different variable names and stuff so it doesnt look like he cheated. That would be super.
thanks guys!
adam


Comments:

Do I relay have to say anything for this one? The only thing sadder then the facts that he did this and that some one helped him and that he could not change the variable names is that he gives the name of the school he goes to in the same topic! I am so hoping that his teacher finds out. Cant even change the variable names, and he will probley pass compsci Sad .

P.S. Plz, use titles such as theses when posting in hall of shame. Also only relay bad stuff like cheating, ect.

P.P.S. Plz not re's to the stories in this topic I whont to keep it nice and clean.

Lol, dont rememer who.. ether Darkness or Dan replied to that with A+ average? Not anymore

Quote:
I'll pay you $50 to do my final project for me

From same source... some guy from BC was offering people $50 AFTER he would recieve documented source code for a project and would get a good mark on it... then if he would happen to come to Toronto (where most of us... or around this area live) he would pay up... Ya, right Laughing

Well my friend just finished compsci 11 this year... He can't program though. Like he can't program AT ALL. Although he did have something like 95% average going into the exam. How you ask? Thats a good question...

To get the programs done, here's what my friend used to do. He would come up to someone working on a program, asking to take a look, or something... Ether way, as soon as he gets close enough to the keyboard, he would hit "Print" shortcut on the keyboard (turing has that) and run off with printed out code!


lol, I though that was lame, but funny and wanted to share with you guys Laughing

Quote:
aight im counting on you!

:::LOGO (simplified turtel program)

Write a program which will move a "turtle" around a screen in response to four commands. The commands are:

f x means "forward" x pixels. Eg f 10 would move the turtle forward 10 pixels

r means turn the turtle right 90 degrees

L means turn the turtle left 90 degrees

q means quit ( stop)

The algorithm is:

set the direction to 0
set x and y to the centre of the screen
in a loop
get the command
end loop if command is "q"
if command is "f"
get distance, calculate newx and newy depending on direction, draw a line from x,y to newx, newy, set x equal to newx and y equal to newy
if command is "r"
change direction
if command is "l"
change direction

*** PLEASE HELP ME *****


why:

not only is this one of the stupiest questions... I mean come on... the code is right there... all of it... all the logic done, just properly format syntax Rolling Eyes

As I went over to look at his screen he went over to my computer and downloaded all of my files (I have about 10 different finished games by me in my school folder)
Rob:Alright thanks now get the hell outta here
Not realising that I knew he went on his computer to find I erased everything he just tried to steal. He was dumb enough to use email to transfer the files when he had his email open at the time
Rob: WHERE THE HELL ARE THE PROGRAMS I GOT FROM YOUR COMPUTER?!?!?!?!
me:Like I said I wont do your work for you

Its sad cause the guy is a friggin moron who looks at Motocross stuff all period. And has never tried to even learn anything more complex than drawline
its a Gr11 Programming class. Moron teacher though so we've just learned turing which I learned in the previous year. I'm just glad he never found Compsci lol. If anybody is in the Sarnia area at St Chris then you might know him or me.

read my PM, this happens.

Why? Because I locked a topic he made when he wanted someone to do his homework for him, also tried to cover up with the lamest excuse ever.

I really think his intellectually challenged. Even needed to explain himself "get laid......with a girl." So very creative. At least could have used Chicken, or a Guy if you wanted to be insulting. Saying how I need to get laid with a girl merely tells me to go according to the nature of things, which I am following btw.

optical mice would be kindof expecsive for a school cause my school doesn't have any money, we don't have enough overhead projectors. but maybe people in your school respect the fact that schools are not rich and that taking mouse balls would just make compsci class suck because you'd have to use the keyboard for everything.

yea.... buying 300 optical mice.... thats not cheap...

also... then ppl will ruin them. by shoving htings upo there.....
glueing them shut keeps balls.... but then they get dirty and useles...

Also... all the comps at our school have NT.... and therefore... no USB... and optical mice would be USB...

category: funny

We had just gotten into the class and were checking out the computers, and my friend was pointing out the nice optical mice. I told him that they work on any surface, including your face. So, naturally, he tries to login using his face as a mousepad. Now as it turns out it might have been better for him to actually act like a mousepad and lie down on the table. for you see, doing that would have kept him closer to the ground. Instead, sitting up as he was, my teacher--a fat man who uses a metre stick as though he was a ninja--noticed what he was doing and whacked the metre stick on my friends monitor. He was kinda jumpy after that.


apparently the oils and grease on your face can screw up the optical mouse. Eh

Basically, this guy, Michael G******, was/is a complete idiot, and asked me to do his work for him. The conversation went basically like this: (excuse the vulgar language)

Mike: Hey ... do my work for me.
Me: No, you should do it yourself.
Mike: Hey ... do my work, or I'll cut your f***ing tongue out.
Me: Hmm ... that seems like a very good proposition there, Mike. But, you know what? I've got a better one: How about ... you go f*** yourself ... and I get back to work.

He threatened me again, to which I told my teacher, and had him moved to the back of the class.

From being a Residence Computer Consultant. True story, it's sad.

As an RCC, it is my responsibility to make sure that everyone in my building gets their residence internet (ResNet) working properly. As such, during the first week of school, my phone is pretty much ringing off the hook, as people can't figure out how to make it work.

One of the more common problems that I've had was that people would plug a phone cable into the ethernet jack on the back of their computers, and then plug this into the wall. While at first I thought that this was incredibly dumb, I quickly discovered that phone cables actually do lock into place in the RJ45 jacks, so your average arts student could get confused.

This event that I am about to describe, however, truely makes me question my existence. I got a phone call. Some girl on the 10th floor couldn't get her internet working. The elevators were jammed full of people bringing their stuff up to their rooms, so the stairs were my only option, and, after running around all day, weren't very inviting. I live on the second floor. Choking up my tears however, I made the climb, and got to her room.

Inside, it was a sight to behold. Her laptop was there, with a phone cable, not plugged into the RJ45 jack, but instead jammed in to the PCMCIA slot. Not only this, but she had realized that it didn't fit at first, so she broke off the little tab of it so it would fit. I couldn't help myself, I nearly fell over laughing.

Still, it's the concept of "stealing". Stealing is not like borrowing or something like that. The whole point of stealing is that it's without permission, so how can you not let them?

How does someone taking your code deprive you of the value it could earn? You still HAVE the code (You did make backup copies of that oh-so-important source file, right?). And this other person still has to know how to use the code to make stealing it worthwhile. They could try to sell it, or adapt it into their own program (if it's a competitor), and they probably would. Which is bad, certainly, but it isn't as though your program is gone for you.
Unless we're still talking about Turing, in which case they can't sell it anyway. The only benefit they might get from it is a better grade, which doesn't help them at all if they didn't understand the lesson.

Well, if we assume that they would buy it, they're depriving me of the value they would have paid for it. If they wouldn't have bought it, they don't have use for it - then why are they downloading it?
