There are surely good reasons for which to NOT do someone elses homework. However, its difficult to determine when such a condition arises. For example: I work at the U. of Ariz. and have had the need to use hash functions. Just because I inquire the net about hash function and performance AND I have a university mail address AND its final's time doesn't mean it's homework! I agree with previous posts that if you feel that someone is doing their homework on the net, then don't answer.
