This is just  a simple question, made to provoke thought (so, Meditations seems like a good place) ...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;What Perl instructor is assinging finite automata problems ?&lt;/H3&gt; &lt;sub&gt;and does he know where all of the work is comming from&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I don't usually complain about homew(ork|reck)ers, but i am simply stunned by the number of questions on "finite automata". I would guess people agree by the flaming posts i see in the replies, but i think i am going to take another road, and simply not reply to posts which are on "finite automata", or whatever the homework-of-the-day is. So, rather than flame, i suggest a good olde fasioned &lt;code&gt;--&lt;/code&gt; and no replies. After awhile, i would guess the home work questions (the obvious ones anyway) will go away.

&lt;i&gt;"They shall not overcome. Whoever told them that the truth shall set them free was obviously and grossly unfamiliar with federal law."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
