My favorites are the ones who simply copy/paste their assignment text. Are these people really so clueless?
When it's obvious that someone is fishing for homework help, I'll try to post a hint as a comment rather than handing out an answer on a silver platter. The goal is to provide a path to understanding. Unfortunately there is always someone as clueless as the OP who will provide said silver platter.
As much as I've been helped by StackOverflow, I hope I never have to work with one of those frauds who grew up asking instead of thinking.
