Homework and my answer.

Once you look deeply at this, you discover that it's analog after all is said and done.

You can use google.com to find out more, but if you want to know why it's still analog, I'll discuss that.

Homework
Feb 13, 2006 10:03PM PST

The point of homework is that you learn something by doing it. If other people do it for you, this doesn't happen and you're the one who loses out.

If you make a habit of getting answers from other people, rather than doing the work yourself, I sincerely hope that you get nailed for academic dishonesty very soon, and unceremoniously drummed out of whatever educational institution you're in right now.

But thats ok.
If you don't know what the definition of a digital signal is. I guess I'll ask my teacher.

That IS Help

Hopefully some day you'll understand the very important difference between asking people for references to sources where you might find the necessary information, and just asking people to hand you that very same information.

Homework and Netiquette.

The only trespass here is you revealed it's your homework. Take this as a lesson that newsgroups and most forums will not participate in homework help.

You may find this upsetting, but try this on Usenet for that warm and toasty feeling.

Cheers,

It's a common issue and can be upsetting until you learn the ropes.

You're not helping
Feb 14, 2006 10:08PM PST

I'm trying to help you to help yourself. People aren't just going to hand you things in life, so it's best you learn that early on.

One has to wonder why you came here looking for help on your homework. Presumably you have a book, and someone is teaching this class are they not? Both of which are right there. So, if not for reasons that would qualify as academic dishonesty, why would you come here asking for the answer to homework questions?

I'll admit that my EE and CprE skills aren't quite up to snuff of knowing a detailed definition of a digital signal. Doesn't change the fact that your asking for the answer here is essentially soliciting plagiarism. You're looking to pass off someone else's work as your own. Expulsion would be the best you could hope for if caught. If you flunk out, you can always try again. If you're expelled for academic dishonesty, you'll be blackballed across the nation at accredited universities, and a degree from an unaccredited school isn't worth the paper its printed on in the real world unless you're looking into becoming a priest.
