    Or teach him to ask "Do you want fries with that?"

    The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

      Ha ha, a good one... They will fail there I think because a kind of certificate/diploma is needed for this, but for programming ... nope... :-)

        I am not sure if to laugh.Show() or else to cry.Show()... maybe both, but that can't be written..

        if(this.signature != "")
        {
        MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
        }
        else
        {
        MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
        }

                          I agree. Beginning developers should already know how to code. :rolleyes: :doh:

                          There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                                  I agree. Beginning developers should already know how to code. :rolleyes: :doh:

                                  There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                                  At least be able to look up syntax, read documentation, and some basics like looping, branching and testing. Without that knowledge one is merely begging for the right words to "insert" into the existing code. Imagine your surgeons being trained like developers.

                                    The number of times I've want to post an answer like "Why don't you try a career in aged care rather than programming"...

Of course, that was only slightly better than the one guy that was asking how to do his final year project, him I told to go to the registrars office and see if he could get a refund on his college education because clearly he learned nothing there. Libs didn't like that one either.

                                        I think some people come here brand new, they don't even have that yet. They still deserve respect and help.

                                          Yeah some people can't handle reality. One guy posted some whining yesterday because he asked if some code he found would fulfill the requirements of his homework assignment. I told him to try himself, and that is all I said, and find out himself and he didn't like that. He wanted someone here to waste their time checking his homework assignment for him so he wouldn't have to. I guess "try it yourself" is insulting to a number of people.
