    I would say, that is not a very valid argument. Any program can be easily hacked if the programer doesn't take the needed counter messures

    That is correct, but i think it's an addition to my comment not a rework :)

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

      No mate. It isn't 'old' C++ or any kind of C++. Printf is C.

          I'm not so sure - ever tried hacking Ada? You have to break Ada to make it hackable (With unchecked_conversion)!

          Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                      Well, sure. But if some geezer is going to go on a MS site and waffle about printf he needs to be accurate. Incidentally, gcc natively does c. Typically I've had to add g++ for c++, so they are distinct.
