Ha! Well, I think a lot of people copy code from StackOverflow verbatim once at least - including me.

Of course it turned out the code I'd blindly inserted into my project contained a number of bugs. In one or two cases, quite serious ones. This, even though it was the accepted answer.

It was probably more effort to fix up the code I'd copy pasta'd than write it from scratch. Since then I've never copied and pasted from StackOverflow verbatim.
