    Hi, Trent

    You're absolutely right ... but only for one kind of people: Those who really want to learn something.

    For the ever increasing number of the Other kinds It's not an insult to their intelligence ( if one ...) but to their sluggishness of mind ... or cupidity.

    I'm really upset seeing some people here asking for others to make their projects or find hardw. solutions for them ... and that will make money with the forum's work.

    I really think re-centering this Forum on the exclusive PbP/PbC use would solve the "problem" by itself.

    Were're back to the "Project section" existing question ... no more !

    Regards to KangarooLand

    Thanks a lot Alain.

    I studied pretty hard for Applied Reasoning. Regret picking the topic on captial punishment, it did offend one of the markers who consequently dished it off to someone else who in the end gave me a credit for the unit. I think she agreed mostly with what I wrote, and how I presented the argument, she even encourgaed me a bit with it too. I dare say that she has children of her own.

    You are really attempting to stereotype a classification of people with those claims. I totally disagree. It's much like saying that people who don't complete high school will endup as criminals and never turn out to be intelligent individuals.

    That's an absolutely crazy, completely biased assumption Alain.

    Go off profiles Alain, not your own personal biased / vendetta driven assumptions.

    Hi, Trent

    no personnal vendetta ( ! ) or like, I've never sold ( nor wanted to sell ... LoL ! ) any code !!! ... just consider some respect is due to those who GIVE their free time ... and share their experience.

    let's just begin by those throwing here some hasty code lines, thinking the whole world already knows about their "great" project, and just asking "what's wrong" , "Very Urgent" ... or never having opened the "Holy Bible" ( say: PbP manual + The relevant Pic Datasheet ) !!!

    want some links to "neat" examples ??? ( not only here, it now happens in every forum I watch ... whatever the theme ! )


    O tempora ...

    Knowledge received / knowledge given back out to the world is what life is all about. This is why I have posted 21 of my projects on Planet Source Code, close to around 100,000 lines of code all up at a wild guess. I personally expect people to manipulate the code for their own usage, in fact I actually want them to.

    I would of course frown upon the thought of someone compiling the entire project "as is" and massively profiting from it. In my book this is nothing short nor far from outright theft. But this is the chance that I'm prepared to take. Most people know what's worth a dollar and what's worth a million. If it's an obvious solution or it has been done before -- probably best to set it free for the entire world to see

    Such an "emotive" response in every post that you make with all those "!!!" ...

    This is very bad stuff in academia. Guaranteed loss of marks.

    FYI: emotive implies "vendetta"

    Cheers,

    Trent,

    I sometimes wonder if you know this forum is 1) pbP 2) not yours ... and 3) not " one cent psycho ..."

    after all ... recentering this forum was not so bad an idea ...

    That is absolutely impossible to argue with. I indeed have my future plans focused on talking in PBP / electronics or not talking at all.
