I can not see the reason to why his question is being scrutinized. If I needed an answer whether it be homework or legitimate work I was doing, I would ask where ever I thought I would get the right answer.
Good point. Though probably the prof would expect you to read the references on the subject. Generally one of the main purposes of an assignment is to get the student to become familiar with the written resources that are available and how to find them. Just finding the information is almosst secondary.
But, on the other hand, whenever someone posts a somewhat OT question there are far more irritating posts wasting much more bandwidth and reader time than ever got affected by the original OT or somewhat OT post - in the order of a couple of magnitudes more eg a hundred or two posts per each OT post. So, I'd suggest these self-righteous flamers find a good religious discussion to perform their cathartic ritual in.

But who are we to judge him, as to why he asks the question?
I would want to know this myself, for that matter since I'm experimenting with embedded PC's, running Linux on a flash disk, which has limited write cycles. Does that make me a school kid with an assignment? No. Maybe. Yes. How do you know how old I am, or what my agenda is?
I am out of school, by the way and don't need to write stupit exams to prove my experience or knowledge either. But, I don't know everything, and it's many times easier to ask a question to a group of people who might have already stumbled upon the same thing that I'm trying out for the first time :)
Another reason the flamers are off base.
