hi

i learned from your website, that using one´s favorite IDE while answering the questions is acceptable. considering that you cannot prevent this, this is the only way to go.
that said it is obvious, that questions of the form of:

what is the output of [snippet]
and
what is the value of X after executing [snippet]

are pretty much worthless, cause anyone will be able to copy and run the code.

so IF these types of question should be asked, what about rendering the code/markup/whatever parts into an image and so leave retyping (which will hopefully raise a timing issue) as the only option for the user that cannot answer the question on his own.

of course, the image(s) should be created when entering/approving the question, because it will be a time&resource consuming process, only needed when changing the text.

if you agree this to be a good idea, i´d think about helping with that.
