I also like the old BIOS message:
"Monitor not found. Please plug in monitor and press any key to continue."
How do I know that is there? I saw it on the monitor!
How did the BIOS makers think that would get to the user? Telepathy?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The hoax of gravity makes the "global warming" hoax pale by comparison.
If you can't see what the matter is with the idea that gravity "holds" anything, that is absolute proof you are in the state of cultural hypnosis known as "ordinary reality."
Levity is the only thing holding things together.
Once you begin to realize this, you will tread more lightly with more spring in your step.
You will realize that helicopters, airplanes, and birds, do not fly ... because you experience the fact that you, and everybody, and everything else, are flying, and, since everything's flying, you can drop the whole baggage of the concept and pay more attention to your current miraculous altitude.

Yes, but levity is what makes holes in bread, isn't it?
We wouldn't want it to get too full of itself and think it could start making holes anywhere it feels like it.

Thank you for that post, I needed a good laugh. Indeed, laughter holds a community together!

Easy to resolve, because exam papers aren't in the public demesne until after the exams are over, so they can provide him the documents after he's sat them.
What worries/bothers/annoys me is the organisation that has offered him work. They must be right shtibags if they think that such deviousness is useful behaviour.

To the shitbag who is abusing the abuse system:
Me, I find it gratifying that the Internet-discussion world hasn't moved on, as everyone (except a few like me) predicted it would, and that people are still exhibited shitbag behaviour like yours.
You makes I larf, wanky-boy, because:
0: You think your behaviour makes people think you're important.
This is the number one misapprehension that shitbags suffer from, on the Internet -- they think people listen to them, pay attention to them, and respect them (I mean really! They do!)
1: You think you are having an effect on the forum, other members, the world.
Try to understand that nothing -- nothing -- could be further from the truth. All you have achieved by abusing the abuse system is prove that I was right! I won that bet!
Your "That'll show 'im" cr@p shows us what a dreadful person you are, nothing more.
2: You have decided that your behaviour improves the CP.
Now, this last is where we have a problem, and is the reason why I've taken a few minutes of my time to attempt to educate you (a lot less time than you'd think, because I write really fast!).
I've been kicking around newsgroups, bulletin boards, forums, etc. for literal decades.
Behaviour like yours destroys such groups, period. There is no need for further discussion on that; the empirical evidence is overwhelming. Add someone with your hateful behaviour to a group, and more people start hating, then more, then more.
Even if CP survives, it will be by becoming more like SO, with all the politics, rivalries, and internecine hatred that make it so unattractive to so many -- and, of course, with all the good people jumping ship and leaving you to your hate.
The people you attack with your abusive behaviour, though, won't be affected. We'll just move on, and find somewhere else to communicate in a civilised way with our fellow humans.
Is that clear? You don't make a good impression, you don't gain respect, you don't improve anything, and the people you try to abuse don't care and aren't affected.
The net result of your behaviour is that you are recognised as the bad-guy who breaks things that are working.
Grow up.
Look at your behaviour.
Project your behaviour onto other people; imagine them behaving the same way you do -- it's not an attractive sight, so be prepared to feel pretty damned ashamed.
Beh.
Bored with this, now.
Carry on. Be a wanker/don't be a wanker. I'm not bothered -- but thanks for winning that bet for me.

Your previous post was reported as abuse? or what happened?

Some great hero has obviously decided to make his mark in the world, by bravely fighting for whatever the Hell it is he's fighting for.
No, wait. It's nothing of the kind; it's a petty little coward who's afraid to speak to people, who is abusing the voting system by using it in place of the downvoting thing (which was removed specifically because of such petty little cowards).
meh.
Let him get on with it.
The shame he'll feel, when he grows up, will be punishment enough.

He didn't cheat by sneakily looking for legal loopholes, or by acting entitled*; He used a computer to modify data and or a computer program -- which is precisely what computers are for, so he should have got top marks for that subject, too!
* Hell, William Shatner never acted at all, let alone entitled
