Totally Agree. I own the original Apple Mac Pro and have been very happy with it for 5 years odd; till I discover I can no longer upgrade the OS. Now for a year I've been holding out for this new machine and F**** was a disappointment. I was hoping for 16 cores, nope. Worse, half the good stuff inside has gone; so where do I put my my mirrored 3TB hard-drives. I doesn't even come with a CD; so now I'm expected to buy this peace of junk and pack around it a bunch of plugin modules. So much for the neat all in one Macs; I'll have to go back to cables cluttering more desk. There is nothing professional about this kit; for business its junk. I don't care what it looks like; I want something practical. So now I'm off to research a Dell and see if we can't configure it in such a way so I can run OSX. Yes the OS is good and frankly it is the only reason left for owning an Apple. If Adobe build their suite for Linux, that rational will be gone also. Thanks god I switched to Android ages ago so I don't have the same problem with their useless phones.

We run a small numerical website (www.codecogs.com), nothing the size of RentaCoder but never the less, we frequently get direct request or forum postings for C code that's very clearly homework - deleted straight off.

What gets me, is some don't even have the intelligence to disguise the problem they need solving with us often receiving the exact text from their course work, i.e. "Question 10, Write a program in C to extract ...."

Furthermore I'm struck at how bloody rude these people tend to be, esp given they are cheating. You'd think that if this is your approach to getting through Uni, then the first two words of the English language you might learn are 'Please' and 'Thank you'.

So far I hope we've not helped anyone.
Cheers
Will
