If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Another solution to the QA question linked below, with a link to a commercial tool. Somehow, this one has survived since February!

A long and rambling message in Spanish about motion detection, dumped in the Workspaces forum. I can't see any links or other obvious spam payload, but it clearly doesn't belong there.

Abuse.
It's plagiarised from here: http://www.geintra-uah.org/system/files/private/FUSION_DE_ALGORITMOS_PARA_DETECTAR_OBJETOS_SAAEI_VAZQUEZ_04.pdf[^] so I'm guessing it has hidden site links.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Plagiarised.

I assumed that the second was the source of the first plagiarised article, not that they were both copied! D'Oh! | :doh:

Nope - I linked to at least two plagiarised locations in my comments on his first article. To be honest, it got tedious identifying all the different locations he stole content from.
