Sorry, but it says "Discussions about this website, or other topics not related to programming"...
Now you are being rude. Just to let you know, because you are.
jsmith knows full well what the subtitle to this forum is.
The reality is that those who frequent here are interested in C++ and topics related to computer programming. Hence, you can generally expect off-topic stuff to revolve around that kind of stuff. Witness the current (2009-08-13 01:00) list of topics:
And so on.
Get the drift? Notice also that when people post stuff not about programming, they bring something to the table, instead of asking for help on unrelated homework. And as a comment just to help, if you can't find some simple stuff about your topic, you won't last long at a University. Visit Google or Yahoo or some other search engine and try a few different phrases about your topic. You'll get enough hits to make any HS teacher happy with the information you can learn.
Finally, just asking for someone to do all that work for you is offensive to the busy professionals who volunteer their very expensive time to help here. You would get a lot farther by asking for someone who may be familiar with the topic to simply point you in the right direction to learn more. You can do your own work, with your own examples. It is how you learn.
Sorry if this sounds harsh.

I know what you're saying Duoas, and I agree; however when you say "... volunteer their time"; you could argue that no-one is forcing you to help; and that you must do it because you enjoy it.
But from the other side; you aren't getting anything necessarily in return; and essentially you're doing something that helps them and therefore they should be grateful and not waste your time. I bet you could have done without writing out all that text.

Yes, but their argument could be "No one is forcing you to help; so why complain about particular questions?". It would be a very flawed argument, and stupid at that; but s/he expects some people on a programming forum to do unrelated homework which they should be doing themselves anyway, without help; and therefore it logically follows that they aren't the sharpest tool in the shed.
I agree with Duoas on this. The posted topic is not appropriate for this site and furthermore the op should not be asking for someone to do his/her HW regardless of whether its mass media or c++. I really don't understand why it is so difficult to google something. Also Kolonel, if you cannot research this issue on your own, get ready for a rough ride through college and a career as a programmer if you choose that path. Programming requires research and the abililty to learn through that research.
People marvel at my Googling skills. I'm all like "+neccesaryKeyword -unnecesary AND inurl:keyword"
I love it when people type full questions into Google, as though regular expressions alone are AI...
