If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

This post http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4734350/vochancer-program.aspx[^] from http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=10512708[^] smells strongly of spam to me.

Or is it a cut'n'paste of a homework question??

What say ye?

Cheers,

The first paragraph might make you think that it is spam, but it is just a homework question and the mentioned company is fictional.

Yes, it is just homework. There were identical posts a month ago where enhzflep found and linked to an even older, similar post.

This one[^] seems to be an exact copy of the original[^] answer posted by Richard.

By all means, the OP has even added wrong/obfuscating information at the end.

I don't think it's plagiarism: he is quoting Richards answer and adding a (wrong) conclusion to the end. He's trying to correct Richard is all.

I don't see any solutions under any of the 3 questions you linked too. Are you seeing solutions? All I see are the question and comments.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The spam solutions are deleted, and when you go to a deleted solution, then you don't see other solutions. I reported that as a bug.[^]

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that the link pointed directly to the solution.

Read 1D&2D Barcodes from an Image[^]

They are referencing a particular library but didn't provide any information on what library it is. There is also no code provided. Just a "I used these functions and it gave the right data"...

Yes, I see that. I voted "Incomplete" as I don't see anything spammy or abusive in it, yet.
