( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Perhaps the lingo here is beyond me, but what kind of "challenge" already has a solution? I thought companies like Micro$oft and others actually challenged people to try to hack their software--for money if holes could be found. Was that not a "challenge" because they didn't already know of the holes' existence? And why would they have offered people a reward for finding what they already knew?

Oh, well, as I've said before, I'm not a real programmer. Maybe that's why there's been so many down-votes on this one. I had thought maybe some people just didn't like seeing the Bible texts or something, or that I had posted too much code (trying to be helpful).

Regardless of what one might call this--it seems that most have no good solution, only a few clues and ideas.

As to the "plagiarism"--there was plenty of that in the Bible. There are places where a whole chapter is the same as another part. Sometimes the original writer is mentioned--often not. "Plagiarism" appears to be an unbiblical concept. According to the Bible, all wisdom is from God, and any person taking credit to himself/herself is the one truly "plagiarizing."

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
