I'm really tempted to do this guys' homework stackoverflow.com/q/26867689/616460 - just so I can write "It's dangerous to go alone, take this" with a code-only answer.
As a person's commitment to the community increases, I think we should make it possible for high-reputation users to fast-track the closure of certain questions. See here for some of my rationale.
Here's what I propose (subject to tweaking). To qualify:
User must have 20K of reputation.
Us...
@vba4all Maybe on low activity sites. Couldn't disagree more on SO. I know so many high-rep users that definitely wouldn't deserve that privilege. Maybe I'd buy it if it were based on tag badges instead.
@Frank Any answer to that question is not fine, comment or not; on the grounds of feeding vampires and/or positively re-enforcing the crap questions we like to complain about.
@JanDvorak You can explain why it's off topic/other cv reason, but don't start answering the question, even in a comment.

@Frank It was not off-topic right off the bat. See the close reason: the question turned out to be caused by a simple typo. This isn't known until someone points it out. Once pointed out, though, the question becomes useless.
@Frank "this question was caused by a typo. In order not to encourage you to ask again, I won't tell you where the typo is, but close voters sure will be able to spot it easily"?
@vba4all Ok. Just making sure that I'm not wrong. Yeah - I knew that .Item() was the same as using the index. I didn't see any other way to do it, other than examining the name property of each item in the collection.
@vba4all Is there any merit in his assertion that it worked in Office 2007?
It may seem like a stupid thing, but could we please b able to pay real money to set a bounty.

If I know the answer but am not willing to put the time in to answer your question for free... then I'm probably not gonna do it for $20 either.
But someone will.
Guaranteed, someone, somewhere has time to burn and needs cash. No guarantee they know the answer, mind you... but they'll take a ...
@rene I am making progress. First year an unicorn on the bash page, next year an horn hat AND Twilight in the hat spritesheet. Now it is time for the official mane 6 hat collection.
When I first joined SE, the winter hats were there, so I thought all registered users get hats throughout the year - I was very happy, but then the hats disappeared :(
@LynnCrumbling yes. I just ran a quick test in excel 10 and it works fine. ive added an explanation to why .... the Item() property does take an index but it's of Variant type so it could be anything... that's VBA for you haha
@InfiniteRecursion since I discover SO I really like it, clear, simple, fast and good community helping each other. BUT look what happen here just today: crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/2251/how-secure-is-aes-256/…, my answer was deleted after 1 year. it has got 2 downvotes but also 2 upvotes and I loose my points there just because the mikeazo moderator wake up suddenly and decide to consider that as comment. And I had post that answer before NSA spy scandals was discover proving the truth of that answer. I try to contact even via chat by no reply — albanx9 mins ago
^ that user has answers with individual high scores like 60 on an answer and several other good posts on SO
How can we help him/her?
Answer-to-comment conversion is an extreme step, isn't it?
They can downvote for that, but deletion is an extreme step, isn't it?
user259867
Unfortunately, some reviewers focus exactly on that. E.g., an answer starting with "I've had the same problem"... is at a risk of deletion, even if it completely solves the problem.

On math we have a meta thread for undeletion requests, since there is no queue for that. Works reasonably well.
I just don't see this specific image as being appropriate. 404 = can't find the resource. However, the fox in this GIF is finding what it is looking for. That's how foxes hunt. They listen for prey under the snow. And when they have located their prey, they dive into the snow to catch it. I bet if that GIF went further, you'd see the fox come out with a rodent in its mouth.
It seems to me both opinion based ("simplest"?? people often find simplest what they are familiar with) and also asking for external resource (" Which framework use?").
I've voted already but looking at sede is seems that, against all odds, 3 folks decided the question should remain open so my vote was ineffective. :-/
@InfiniteRecursion Yes, I understand that. But the key questions here is "how secure is this cipher", whereas albanax's answer basically states that "AES and RES are not secure" (based on the premiss that they "do not have a mathematical proof of being secure"). Which, well, yes it "answers" (kinda) the question, but still, its lq to say the least.
@bjb568 The password is always "password". Never forget that. I use it for SE, email, windows, linux, etc. Better yet, I'll give some hacker a laugh when they crack it and see it was "password" all along.
I want to see nicael poke Mooseman's software for holes :P
@Ahmad, You asked us if we get money, and you guessed that we have nothing better to do in life, so I shared that post, Shog explains why SE contributions are free and money-less
