Google Doodle tells me it is St Andrew's Day.
So for all those Porridge Quaffers, have a great day.
That means you Mr Auld!
But please...do NOT abuse your wailing octopus, it is more than I can bear.

I have finally bought Mrs Dalek's Xmas Prez
This Baby[^]
I listen to the Home Service on a Roberts DAB.
That is sufficient for me.
But Being a musical type, andmuch younger and therefore down wid da yute, she likes her music.
This monster has Bluetooth and NFC connection, and pumps out enough watts to keep her amused.
I love the flashing lights in the speakers, groovy man!
I just know she will love this, and therefore I gain Brownie Points.
I only went in for a small set of speakers, intending to spend £25 or so.
Ended up giving the whiskerless youth behind the counter £200!
Hey ho.

That is very cool, Dave; with 230 Watts she should be able to drown out your screams.

"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Some idiot tutor has decided that the class homework this year is getting an article published on CP, and "and one of two equal parts of our score is directly depends on our codeproject reputation"
So...expect some real rubbish incoming, and probably a measure of abuse when it gets rejected. 
|
|
|
|
|
Is there any way we can delete the tutor?

Don't know who he is - though Chris might be able to tell from the school IP I guess.

Maybe the guy should send his tutor the Article FAQ and explain the moderation process to him. I read the comments on his article and got the impression he thinks we must 'approve' because its homework....yeh right!
|
|
|
|
|
And why do I suspect that anything that does get approved will get upvoted by the rest of the class?
|
|
|
|
|
I often think that the moderation process needs to be upped to higher level members.
I still see stuff that I have commented on needing formatting fixed etc. and two minutes later it is approved in the same state.
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed, having one "approve" outweight dozens of comments/votes/reports is bad. Plus the comments get removed. Horrible.

What school/"university"?
..and how did that school accept that he offshores his work to CodeProject?
I'll be reporting each one I find as spam.

Don't know - somewhere in Iran I assume. Again I suspect Chriss could narrow it down a lot, but I don't have access to that info.

I suspect it is: Amirkabir University of Technology - Tehran Polytechnic
I searched for the member on Google, found his linkedin profile and it says he is currently studying there.

I didn't think of that...

I just Hope That it is Not a Swiss Guy, could eventually be my fault for telling my Tutor about The CP?

No it is not, definitely Iran.

Puuh, lucky me. I documented my final project here, but it seems to be good enough to get 5* votes. If it wouldve been a Swiss Guy I'd offered to have a serious talk with him.

There must be something in CP "legalese" that prevent using CP as a homework dump.
I'd rather be phishing!
