Doubts on How to Answer Stoopid Questions
-
Is it just good ol hippy java kids who can't ask questions or are the other subjects suffering the same dross in the Q&A forum? I really want to be able to help and I get a warm fuzzy feeling from seeing an answer helping someone. But the f'in' questions that are appearing are allmost wothout exception: How to [Activity] How do I do [Activity] in java? Please help! All that's missing is sndcdzplz. Should I just answer
CListCtrl?

Just ignore them, helping them is just going to encourage them to bring the cost of IT rates down. ;)

The C# Q&A is similarly effected. I vote down then answer with why I Univoted. That way it drops out of the "Unanswered" list as well.

If the question is badly set-out, I'll give them the chance for more info. If it is skoolkid asking sndcdzplz, then I'll answer it off the list.

Me too , I only do the answer thing for "I don't know how to [insert easily googleable, yet untried, process here] Snd Codez Plz" Type posts. Bad English / formatting usually just gets a message asking them to clarify / tidy up. In that case I don't generally vote either.

I should make a calculator that works in Yoda Notation.... It's kind of like Reverse Polish, but instead of [arg1][arg2][operator], it's [arg2][arg1][operator]. [I] [should make] [a calculator] becomes [a calculator] [I] [should make] Would get really confusing with anything but addition and multiplication...

But they didn't care about that, because they create new id's in CP for every questions when they feel old one is in trouble or something like that.:cool:
thatraja
...but simply to remove these questions from my view from the view of all other CPians. (having them greyed out / marked with a low score is enough for quick visual filtering. I don't insist on them being removed from view totally.) If they do care, the can at least ask for an explanation why it was voted down.

It's called Hungarian. The fun starts with anything more complicated than subject.verb.object in normal use. Who's happy? me I am happy How are you? Happy I am. What is blue? The car [blue is/is blue] What colour is the car? Blue is the car I suffer mind-melt everytime I speak it for more then 18.2 secods.

Nah, that's not the same, though... Yoda wouldn't say "Blue is the car" or "The car blue is"... He'd say "Blue, the car is" Normal: "The car is blue" Reverse Polish: "The car blue is" Yoda: "Blue, the car is"

Ok, I have an image in Java, I want the user to draw shapes on top of the image and then I want the entire image to be rotated, then after finished I still want them to be able to undo the shape drawing. Quality must remain high for all operations and ... you must use Java 1.

I actually had to do it back before Java 2 which is why I had it on the top of my head. Such an annoying task but you wanted a question you could answer now get cracking everything but the speed part was relatively easy.

Probably, you can only use foreign for two consexutive posts. But I am not an ungari. British am I, this way always.
