DaWei,I just knew from reading this forum you was going to comment.I didn't and wouldn't take any of your post to be offensive even if it were fill with curses aimed at me.I like old senile people(joke).

Sorry.nnnnixon.this.grammer.thing.is.to.much.for.me.........If.you.find.my.post long.and.boring.+hard.to.read.just.skip.it.and.don't.bother.I.don't.mind.You could.of.added.proper.spelling.of.choice.words.with.all.that.and.capita-
ization.Btw.was.the.>.<.left.out.of ."to make".on.purpose?



As for the meaning of more clear if that directed at what i was talking about.It's was meant for making myself clear in the sence of what i was trying to say and what i was typing.Not knowing the words to formulate a decent conversation is a terrible thing.

So nice I'm making so many friends already.


When I should of been in school I was working in the mills.When I should of been in college I was in the army.When I should of just stayed silent I spoke.

edit.Don't ask what wrong with my 3 words there with spaces inbetween them.I tried to correct them but they look fine here.when I delete a whole word they are just moved to another word.Kinda freaky.

People take shots at me. I expect it. I think it's pitiful that a couple recently haven't had the balls to just DO it. They take their shot, then say "Joke, Joke!!!". Here's what I think: piss on that. Don't be such a fucking weenie.

Aww, where's the fun in that? It's best to take shots at people that don't expect it. It's much more enjoyable, I find, if you get to add in the 'startle factor', aka the 'what the fuck element'.

Not that I'm saying theres anything wrong with being senile.The joke part can be taken 2 different ways.Firstly it could mean I'm joking with you.Second it could mean to like reverse the entire last sentence cause it isnt true.so like instead of likeing senile people it would mean disliking them.But you took it as i figured you would.My first post before I edited it the last sentence said: DaWei please don't respond.I just wanted to be nice so I deleted it.But It's not realy that I dislike you,but more of you remind me of someone very close to me.He's like a know-it-all also.

Well, I'm old. I'm not senile. I probably will be, as my mom died of Alzheimers. My dad lived to 91, so I suspect I can get a lot older. One aspect of being old is that one has seen several generations. We had the X generation and now the have the YN (pronounced 'whine') generation. Fortunately there are some outstanding exception, many on this forum. Despite my ancient status, I apparently have more working brain-cells than many fresh-face younguns that stumble into the forum in a panic and just blurt.

If you find my posts about reinventing the wheel contradictory, then you've just skipped over the context. Reinventing the wheel to get your work done is the act of a fool. Reinventing the wheel to learn how wheels work is eminently sensible. You will find, if you look further, that I have made these "contradictory" recommendations more than once.

Take a chill pill DaWei, most people here respect you, i know i do. You always give good adive and help, even if sometimes your humor is just a little starange, but you always make me smile.

I kind of agree with your reinventing the wheel posts, and as we are all here to learn we all reinvent the wheel some times, otherwize how else would be learn. I mean how many hello world programms have been written, everyone starts with that, and everyone learns from it, but each one is just the same.

Maybe im just insane and am talking complete rubbish, which i usually do.

enough said.Choose a side.It's either good or it isn't.Well talk to you later Dad.But on a more serious note.I think I'm going to stop using dev-c++.I'll just using the compiler that comes with it and notepad++ for learning.

Sorry, but that's irrational bullshit. If you have ANY thinking power at all, you'll realize it. If not, I'll stoop to explaining why something like pregnancy can be either wonderful or a death sentence. If you have no discernment, it doesn't make a shit what compiler you use, you'll be a dud.

OK this thread has achieved what it was meant for even though I was sidetracked with petty arguements.ThanksYou to those who have added me to there msn.(Even one java user.)The reason I bring this post back up is I want to place emphasis on a few parts of it.The thread was about me and your post as the result is reflected toward myself.""and many do(maybe most)""The many would of sufficed without giving the appearance that you consider me in the bottom end of what apears to be a warped learning scale.As""maybe most"" would mean a high percentage of people would grasp this ideological way of thinking and me obviously saying I haven't for you to even bring it up is an insult directly. I'll say ty one more time to those who have helped and in future reference DaWei if you see a post by me and decide to even read it don't bother to respond if you don't have something positive to say.Don't get me wrong I don't mind constructive criticism,but i don't like insults no matter how you try to hide them.
