The example you show is a typical example of a question from someone who is just too lazy/stupid to think about the problem they are trying to solve and explain it in a reasonably detailed way. So the answers are all quite valid, and may teach them to think a bit more.

When answering a question please:
1.Read the question carefully
2.Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
3.If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
4.If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.

Do you not think that there was insult and slapdown and abuse present in that thread?
Or is it just me? Maybe everyone else doesnt care? or have no etiquette or just want to brush it under the carpet?

Possibly, but everyone has their own measure of what is or is not abuse.

Hello can someone tell me how to message another code project member as i cannot find any reference to this in the help area.
Maybe thats what the token is for? in the private section of the member profile?
but its not clarified anywhere. thank you.
|

You cannot do it unless the member allows private messages. Look at any message from the member, and if there is an Email link at the bottom, as there is in this message, then you can send them a private email. But not everyone allows it. You could send them a public message and ask them to contact you through your Email link.

A chief executive officer was to give the keynote address at one important conference. That’s why he asked one of his top employees to write a twenty minute speech for him. After that important event the chef was furious. “Why did you write an hour long speech for me?” he bellowed. “Half the audience got up and left the hall before I finished my speech!”
The confused employer replied, “Sir, I wrote you a 20 minute speech. But I also gave you the two extra copies you requested.” 
The only thing I’m confused about this story is the attentive and concerned audience. I guess in a real life nobody would notice any difference. Am I right? Do you have an experience of attending any really interesting IT training or event? If not, in which one would you like to participate?
Personally, I think nearly all conferences are dull and boring.
What topics are the most interesting for you?

I usually find the books I read during boring presentations, quite interesting 
and I can always replace them if I want...

I have some tools I wrote for Bloomberg API code that I thought would be useful to share. Is Code Project a good place to put them? If so, under what category would it belong? I'm thinking maybe "Third Party Products"
|

|

If you just want to provide links then you could try the Free Tools forum[^]. However, if you think their content and development would be of interest to other developers you could try writing articles about them[^].

The only result of app innovation context is codeproject filled with hundreds of useless, never-done, not explained, stub projects.
if you are subscribed to codeproject rss you know what I say

The aim of the contest was to get people to start thinking about developing for Ultrabooks. Ultimately, there should be 300 applications released out of this - and there should be 300 useful articles coming out of it.

in rss feed i see everyday about one hundred stub project (mainly useless games)
you say they will be useful articles? I don't think so!

No I don't. I say the 300 that go through to the next round will be the useful articles.
The dregs have been weeded out now.

 I found your post amusing, but it looks like others are telling you that jokes should be confined to The Soapbox and The Lounge. Unfortunately if it was posted it in any other forum, the context would be lost.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

True, you only accused him of being a swine.
