I'm sorry that you feel that way and for what it's worth, it's a harsher response than I would normally have made, but I really took exception to your arguments.
thank you.

a personal attack by any other name is just as hurtful. thank you for re-inforcing my belief that there are some really nasty people out there.

Go out and do something.
i have been. read further up in the post. i can't prove my skills with any concrete apps because when i started as a developer i was tied to a contract for the company i work for that basically stipulates that the code that i write while in their employ becomes their property, distribution of which constitutes theft. they also paid for my studies which binds me to them for a period until i have repayed them. before you criticise again - yes, i AM looking for another job. as i wrote earlier, i have valid reasons which i am willing to share with those who are willing to listen tho i'd rather not post that publicly, those who wish to query are welcome to mail me - i will respond. furthermore taka, i find your response to be exceptionally insulting and i am offended by your words. you don't know who i am, where i've been, what i've done or why i've posted this. do you think it's easy to do this? that i have no pride? you are sorely mistaken yet i will refrain from attacking your character even tho you have attacked mine. this was query, a simple question. if no-one feels that they would like to help then so be it. it is unnecessary to insult me and shows your character up far more than it does mine. my mom always said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," i wonder what she meant...
you might, but i've beaten you to it. employment in south africa ain't exactly fantastic either. i'm already offering my skills as a developer to a number of companies and individuals in my area with a view to designing and implementing custom solutions, web sites, etc. but no-one is biting at present. i've even gone as far as asking the local radio station if they're looking for people to do voice overs for advertisments. i am good at what i do, tho i can't prove it to you at this time (which by saying i know further weakens my case). i don't expect you to believe me coz there are all sorts of maniacs out there and people are just generally paranoid at requests from strangers online (especially when it involves cash). i re-iterate that i have no intention of making any money from this - anyone willing to sponsor is more than welcome to pay MS directly, thereby assured that i haven't made any kind of profit from them. it's not about money to me, it's about learning. ambition vs. cash flow problem. ain't life peachy?
:laugh: no, it can be done in any manner the sponsor feels secure with - including making the payment to microsoft directly. this is all completely above board and i am willing to provide personally identifiable information in order for sponsors to be able to contact me directly if they so wish. i'm not asking this to try and score a quick buck, i'm asking this because i REALLY want to go and currently have no means or hope of getting there. i'm not a criminal - just geek that's broke. do i sound desperate already? so soon? -- modified at 4:28 Thursday 6th July, 2006

RDC? can you be more specific please? who?
by clients do you mean applications that perform email tasks or a list of people stored in your outlook address book? ...yeah, i heard you.
if you want it not for web but for desktop apps then either use a Group control or a Label control that's been collapsed. otherwise you could go the complex route and physically draw one using System.Drawing namespace. hope this helps.
ok, i know this is a LONG shot but i was wondering if there are any kind hearted individuals/companies out there that would be willing to cover the costs of sending a developer to the TechED 2006 conference in africa. there are several valid reasons why i can't afford to cover the costs myself & i'm willing to provide an explanation to anyone who is interested. to those who are interested in helping out please mail me and thank you. it's not easy asking for this and i would sincerely appreciate any help that anyone can provide in helping me get there. please bear in mind that i already live in south africa and there would be no need to cover flight or travel expenses, only the fee to attend. once again, thank you. erm... did i put this in the right place? -- modified at 3:45 Thursday 6th July, 2006

What a phenomenal season, especially for the spaniard.
bah. i can't stand the fellow meself. i find it surprising how many renault "fans" suddenly appeared last season whereas the ferrari fans just dwindled. leads me to believe that half (or more) of all renault fans were once ferrari fans while ferrari was winning but jumped ship when the sh!t hit the fan. poseurs. sickening. gets me mad. :mad: i've been a mclaren fan since i got into f1 about 4 years ago. they've had some crap races, crap seasons and a fair amount of crap luck but i've stood by them and supported them. there is no denying that kimi is a fantastic driver, it's the engineering that's let him down. a pity that he may be moving to ferrari but i wish him all the best. there. rant over. i feel better now. :) erm...what?
i use 2003 for the serious projects cos i'm currently not willing to shell out the cash for 2005. i've been flirting with 2005 Express and i find the speed issue just a little too annoying for my tastes. i'll probably migrate to 2005 eventually after i feel it's worth it for me. then again, they might just surprise us all with VS 2007. it's more a "wait and see" issue for me. ...yeah, i heard you.

thinking about the multithreading bit, you could probably start a whole new breed of metaphysics ;) something along the lines of parallel universes starting on seperate threads, quantum leap drivers or directX that makes everyone pretty. hmm... the more i think about it the more it turns into "the matrix". man, i need to get out more. ...yeah, i heard you.
