C# is just VB without semi colons

You all know it is true and are just too stupid to admit it.

How many Slashdotters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Don't know.  They like watching porn in the dark.

>How many Slashdotters does it take to screw in a lightbulb

Wouldn't know. Most of us don't screw at all, and the lucky ones who do use our beds, sofas or kitchens, not lightbulbs. Now tell me, how does it feel to screw in a lightbulb?

<<Pointers anyone>>

Thats the point.

Most slashdotters have one and thats  just like a point.
Hence they try to prove their manhood by trashing microsoft.

Let's also include something about Windows being rip-off of Mac, and windows being unstable.

OK, how about this:

import java.really.important.stuff.*;
import java.some.more.important.stuff.*;
import java.lets.not.forget.some.of.this.*;
import java.and.now.for.something.completely.different.*;

// Open a file

InputStream is = new InputStream( StreamType.VeryImportant );
InputStreamHelper ish = new StreamHelper( is );
InputStreamVerifier isv = new InputStreamVerifier( is, ish );
Stream s = new Stream( is, isv );

InputReader ir = new InputReader( is );
InputReaderHelper irh = new ReaderHelper( ir );
InputReaderVerifier irv = new ReaderVerifier( ir, irh );
InputClassToCleanAfterReader ictcar = new InputClassToCleanAfterReader( ir );
Reader r = new Reader( ir, irv, ictcar );

InputFile if = new InputFile( s, r );
InputFileHelper ifh = new InputFileHelper( if );
InputFileVerifier ifv = new InputFileVerifier(ifh, ifv );
InputClassToMakeSureFileIsNotLocked ictmsfinl = new InputClassToMakeSureFileIsNotLocked( if );
InputClassToMakeSureFileIsNotCorrupted icmtsfinc = new InputClassToMakeSureFileIsNotCorrupted( if );
InputClassToAdvanceFilePointer ictafp = new InputClassToAdvanceFilePointer( if );
InputClassToMakeAllThisCrapLookCooler ictmatclc = new InputClassToMakeAllThisCrapLookCooler( if );
File f = new File(if, ifv, ictmsfinl, icmtsfinc, ictafp, ictmatclc );

try
{
  f.openTheDamnFile( "blah_blah.conf" );
}
catch (SomeDumbException sde)
{
  sde.doNothingRelevantAboutThis();
  sde.whatTheHellAmISupposedToDoWithThis();
  sde.probablyJustPrintTheDamnStackTraceAnyway();
}
catch (SomeEvenDumberException sede)
{
  sede.whatDoYouMeanFoobarNotScrewedOnCorrectly();
  sede.whatTheHellIsAFoobar();
  sede.iDontRecallInstantiatingAnyFoobar();
  sede.imOuttaHere();
}

Have you considered  Delphi for this? The lightbulb screwing controls are great in Delphi.

Ok. Let me rephrase:

C# does allow you to mark blocks of code with the *unsafe* keyword. (I didn't made it up, it's a C# keyword)

That is useful if you need to work with memory at the pointer (as in int* p) level.

C# is not just VB with semicolons.

I don't know what it has to do with slashdot and trashing Microsoft.


seesh!..
