We Asians do know how to use google

But I'll tell you what, the level of education in the developed world i
obviously much better than the one in the developing world. We have to dea
so many problems that you don't have to! and we are also expected to do th
dirty work. Its not too bad to look up to you for suggestions and help, bu
again are tormented by sarcastic comments (I'm still thankful to many wh
have answered by 'STUPIDENT' questions with patience, I sincerely wish the
the best)

Its sad the way you say that!!

I do not condone the students who just ask for source code, but if I hav
ever asked for source code, I have used it to understand by revers
engineering. Maybe few follow my approach.

And by the way....

This is where they get your email address
