..... are there a lot of Voice Recognition questions today. All in the same class at the same school?
I think it was one guy replying to several old threads.
Would have been better if he had posted one new thread.

IF THE BUNS... ATE THEIR WORK... AGAIN, THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY WE'VE SEEN SO MANY VR-QUESTIONS LATELY

That's being very unkind to the Elmer Fudds and Barry Kripkes of this world.
My favourite question is "I am designing a traffic light system..." as though it's a project they have set themselves.
It also shows how many people just ask a question without at least trying to use the Search facility.
You never know! I actually have a vintage traffic light that used to hang in my town. (The un-hanging of that light is completely legit and has nothing to do with me.... to the best of my knowledge.) My first circuit design was a 555 timer and decade counter to cycle the lights. One of my first Arduino projects was to digitize that process. To this day I haven't actually had the board made with relays to control the bulbs, but the LEDs lit up nicely.

They stop posting that at the end of term [semester]. We'll get a 6 week break shortly.

The blink without delay example is the favourite for that.
The Kwipke Kwippler.... now THAT was a wobot.
(Ok, not so much a robot as an RC, but still.)

The products sold by ACME Inc. are far better. Meep meep!

Didn't they use redundant controllers and consensus actions? The racetrack betting machines I knew did a couple of coders for ran that way on 6800's. Those and 6502's are register-sparse but they have redeeming features. I would put a 1 MHz 6502 in almost the same class as a 4 MHz 8085 or Z80.They stop posting that at the end of term [semester].

But why save the time just finding the answers right there to read when, you can type a question that starts a process that may eventually lead you to the same point after hours to days or weeks. Which is easier?
However, when you don't know what you're looking for then how do you search for it or know when you see it?

One of the most asked questions is: "how do I merge 2 sketches"
Typing this exact question in google gives as second hit http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Tutorial/Merging_Code.html 
I wouldn't mind a question like.
I read this article and what I do not understand is ....
Will the future of mankind be "those who can google and those who can't"?

When it is the same words they post... that is a true positive, no real attempt to search was made.
But take the ones who got ambitious with leds before they learned about arrays.
Pin names that only differ by the digits at the end, and they're all int to hold jsut 1 bit!
But you can't search for three exclamation marks, it returns no results. And given how often that crops up it would be handy if it did. Or if there was a sticky explaining the problem in the appropriate section?

I Googled that question and got no answers, so I don't know.
