    It's an expression of bad luck, commonly associated with other superstitions such as 13, ladders, etc. The phrase 'You jinxed it' means that your act of posting has caused something bad to happen

            Know thy enemy. That's VB6 by the way - VB.Net is rather pleasant to use

                Meh. C# is certainly elegant, but when I'm thinking out loud and have to read a line of code out, I go right back to using VB.Net syntax - words take far less time to say than symbols

                  The VB6 syntax is dead, but her soul lives vicariously through C# and VB.NET.

                      I just read something a while back that indicated VB6 will still be fully supported in Windows 7. Microsoft can't kill VB6. What makes you think codeproject and its 6 million + minions can?

                              Not quite. I am the Flying Pennsylvania Dutchman, doomed to program in VB and its descendants 'til the end of time because I recommended writing a package in VB/Access instead of C/C++ in 1994, my reason being that "those programmers are cheap and easily disposable." Three years later, I was helping convert that Access app into a Web app, and have never written anything significant in C/C++ since :sigh:

                                    VB6, like COBOL before it, has too many binaries out there to let it die.

                                        Nearly no programming language ever dies. FORTRAN, the oldest, is still doing quite well.

                                          Nope. I learned QBASIC, then legacy VB (and its variations), then VB.Net, then C#, then C++. I'm now learning JavaScript and assembly
