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?

A long and rambling message in Spanish about motion detection, dumped in the Workspaces forum. I can't see any links or other obvious spam payload, but it clearly doesn't belong there.

Abuse.
It's plagiarised from here: http://www.geintra-uah.org/system/files/private/FUSION_DE_ALGORITMOS_PARA_DETECTAR_OBJETOS_SAAEI_VAZQUEZ_04.pdf[^] so I'm guessing it has hidden site links.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Ah!
I assumed that the second was the source of the first plagiarised article, not that they were both copied! D'Oh! | :doh:

Nope - I linked to at least two plagiarised locations in my comments on his first article. To be honest, it got tedious identifying all the different locations he stole content from.

Hello,

In my article ASP.NET Client and Server site state management[^] I was givan a vote 1 without any justification. I don't think this is fair. The person who did it has the following profile in CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Chairman[^]. I am not really sure this is a real profile.

Would you please, check this.

Thanks,

Eduardo

Hello,

I agree with you. Still, I think it's unfair that people are allowed to judge your work poorly without justifying it.

As you can see in this forum, I had similar troubles in other articles, but the throller used really nasty language so it was easy to remove the vote. In this case, the throller was smarter, he or she voted the article badly putting no justification at all, making it harder to have his or her damage removed.
