    If you cared, you wouldn't let them copy. You're only hurting them.

    Well, you can take solace in the fact that when they get to the final exam for the course and aren't able to look at your code, they'll fail miserably.
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    I can't really stop them. I occasionally resign myself to the corner PC and turn the screen as far as possible, but it doesn't work very well - I feel slightly guilty. Slightly. Sometimes.

    You know what you shouldn't do, is tell the teacher why you're curled up in the corner hiding from your classmates.

    You are a geek. You can wear that tag with pride, or you can hide it and be ashamed, like any other stereotype categorisation. Would it be so bad being a geek ?

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    I tell you what is worse : being a girl geek. All my female friends hate computers, sometimes I find boring to hang out with girls. So most of my friends are (male ) programmers but somethimes they under estimate my knowledge or get angry if i know more than them. btw I didn't post in a long time because I am working on php helping a friend on his web.
    Have I crossed the line?

    Yep - a friend of mine introduced me to another fellow who is into programming, and he hesitantly said something like 'so and so is a fellow geek..' - I scoffed at him and said that geek is a badge of identification.

    When I tell some one that I am a programmer I let them know that I'm a computer geek before they can say it. It hurts less that way
