I'm trying new relaxation exercise! (and that's the truth of it! :^) )

How about posting this in '
Buzzwords Hall of Shame'? It sounds interesting and befitting on the caliber of VB. I am voting a '5' anyway.Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage

Doesn't it look like a cute marketing for VB software, glorifying it?

I have a decent runner up:
"Jeeze, that´s a really nice Vista app!"_____________________________________ Action without thought is not action Action without emotion is not life
I don't get it. All the fuss around Vista is about eye candy and that's true. I does look flashy glowy and poppy, but there are some nice interfaces. I don't see the contradiction. ...of course it a matter of taste, but still

This is but only its due, as it has buried me under hardship and woe for lo! these many years. For if there were ever any man worthy of the "building tech out of stone knives and bearskins" award, then those who have toiled in the Dim recesses have most certainly paid any price, borne any burden. Truly they are men of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Why, in this politically correct age, do I use the exclusive male pronoun? Because most wome I've met in the profession knew better than to try to write any program more than about ten lines long in something, anything, other than Virtual Barfic. You will be more productive in APL, in Forth, in MUMPS. Your COBOL or ALGOL-60 programs will be more powerful and easier to maintain. Your Ada or Eiffel code will be verifiably correct. And your COBOL running on a MOS 6502 will be more responsive than your VB running on a Pentium MCMLXVII. When computer scientists talk about how the forward march of knowledge has been arrested these past couple of decades, VB is their poster child. On the other hand, I suppose it does buy a certain amount of job security for those who choose to do battle against sense, sensibility and progress. It has even led to new heights in wholly-insensitive bad taste. When I was at Microsoft, I heard a senior manager "joke" that he "knew and could prove" that NASA made no use of VB for critical systems. How? "Because, if they had," he said, "there would have been many more than one Challenger incident." (For the record, as the Rogers Commission report[^] makes clear, the fault was primarily managerial cost cutting and poor quality control. Hmmmmm....)
