Does this mean that my VB program will be able to build a string that describes VB procedure and then run it (passing in params somehow)? And that my procedure will be able to find itself and change itself while it is running? Or is that too much to ask.

Maybe we should avoid loops altogether.

That's my personal hell too. Maybe we should swap, I support your family and you support mine. Then my family won't curse MY name every time they blue-screen.

...but it CAN buy you a whole lot of like!

I never do this. But I know this guy who does -- do you think anyone notices?

I hear dumb people. I smell dead people.

Have you just replaced the desktop? I'm selling my MSFT stock as I write this.

In class A, does it still crash if you make the f() method static? You are using A's method before A is ctor'ed. It looks like it shouldn't matter, but who knows, maybe some static consts are not available until after the first inst of the class is created? Sounds doubtful, doesn't it.

The problem is that you want static typing and hard syntax rules about 97% of the time. But occasionally you crave the fluid freedom of dynamic typing, usually in high-level abstract pattern-like situations. And once in a very great while you even need an interpreter, so you can construct and run snippets of code from within your program. But usually you want strict and static typing; you know you're a bad boy and cannot be trusted.

OK, this is useful. You cannot ask about someone's: - Age - Religion - Politics - Sex and sexual preference (latex) - If they have or are planning to have kids - If they are or are planning marriage I assume you also cannot ask about someone's race or species. But can you ask about: - Height - Medical conditions (like eyesight) - Physical adnormalities - Mental illnesses - Medication

Can you ask "Do you take it black, or with sugar and cream?"

Great programmers are born, not made. If you were born to be great you probably already know it. All the programming tasks in school are easy. Programming is fun and you love doing it. You find that once you've seen an algorithm or an architecture you remember it without effort.
