"I am a right wig ping."

Either way, do you doubt the savior Obama and his divine ability to create jobs out of thin air? You Philistine.

This isn’t true, and it should be beyond the bounds of political debate to claim it.

Liberal philosophy laid bare. "We tell you what to think. You shut up."

Sad but true. Blind devotion is a dangerous thing. Germany found that out.

The only permanent jobs Porkulus Maximus created were government jobs. All the others are disappearing like ice cubes in July.

No, the for loop is okay. He's got an array length limitation. My problem with his code is he doesn't use the much-more-convenient List<> Generic with the built-in IEnumerator and the fact he uses array elements instead of Objects. Furthermore, every new congressional spending effort requires a full redeploy, because the vallues are hardcoded. I'm using data instead -- add a record and BANG there's another lie. Much easier.

Besides: Where's the object orientation? Why a console-app in this WWW world?

C++'ers. Every time. They think the world is a monochrome CRT and forget how to use objects. That's why we C#'ers took over. :)

Ok we better stop...LOL, the thread will become unreadable. I am an old DBase\FoxPro guy who now does C# development. FoxPro was 1/4 of the code and could do anything these fancy shmantzy modern languages could do.

Not any more. 2.0 and 3.5 makes Fox look anemic. I actually used to do Fox myself. Look into Linq2SQL for Foxlike brevity and power. Don't bother with DataReaders or DataSets now that we've got the combination of Generics and L2S.

Okay. Time to finalize my Geek() object and force a garbage-collection. ;)

“Porkulus created or saved 6,324,988,023,091 jobs in Boston alone.”
WOW! If you multiply that out to all 57 States.., We’re going to need more illegals!

True, he does have a limiter, i.e., the length of liberal lies. But that limiter is continually growing faster than the computer can evaluate it to reach the limit. After all, the computer can only work at the speed of light while the liberals are lying at quantum speeds. And so it will be never ending. He should put a qualifier on the limitation such as liberal.lies before the year 300 AD in order to have closure within the next century or two.

I just use alot of LINQ in .NET, for an old data centric guy its a Godsend and great for working with data, collections, etc. What does suck is T-SQL and an app I maintain we have tons of SPROCS written in that crap.

Your point is well-taken. I suggest adding a Timer() Event that fires after one calendar year. Then we can forcefully close the thread. We’d have one year of continuous liberal lies, and then we could devote the rest of our computing power to Fallout 3 and Modern Combat 2.

Yup

The one thing we learn from history is that we DON’T learn from history. Well there is one BIG difference. We are armed VERY armed.

I'm not sure a lot of those government jobs are perm. Many are temp construction jobs, and that promise for 95,000 new jobs a month is about what the 1,100,000 temp Census jobs comes out to.

SQL is fine so long as you don't imbed any business logic in it. I like sprocs so long as they are written to ONLY do simple C.R.U.D.

In fact, they work well with the typesafety of L2S. I don't like Linq inside code, though, it's a little like creating dynamic SQL and submitting commands one by one. Not in terms of efficiency, the efficiency is fine in Linq, I'm more talking maintainability.

Linq is best used via simple SQL-sproc .dbml's and let it typesafe and generate the rest.

Abstracting data away from your objects is the key, then use the objects in collections. That is true joy, right there. :)

I like finding one of us among the Free Republic people. I mistakenly thought you were a c++ dweeb. I hate the c++ dweebs.

Of course Obama's Stimulus has created jobs.

How do you all think those Obama Teleprompters travel from place to place?

And they don't just walk up on stage by themselves, do they?

That is often the difference between life and death, Liberty or tyranny.

Government workers aren’t doing the construction work, contractors are. Those are the jobs that will disappear when the money runs out.

These and the census jobs are being counted in the inflated “jobs created or saved” numbers. The real question is will they be counted in the unemployment numbers once they evaporate?

C++ yuch, we leave that stuff to the Indians, they earn every 18.50 per hour they make over there in Bangalore. Let them make bricks, the money, the fun and the lasting value is in designing and making the houses.

You got that right my friend. I remember that every time I have to stand in line to buy a guy or at the range.
