The question is, will computer programming still love me tomorrow?

Quote from: The Business on November 11, 2009, 11:13:28 AM

That's not the question at all.  Have you ever thought of taking up a new line work that doesn't make you crazy?

Blame the teachers?

"The use of COBOL cripples the mind; it's teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."

"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."

"Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California."

Although I'm quite accustomed to having to google whenever I enter a recursive thread.

I didn't read the spoiler, but I assume that Recursive just got his cherry popped.

Everything is just a moment.

I wouldn't give it a subject line like this if it were about a girl.  Wouldn't be prudent.

I haven't thought about relationships with women in quite some time, actually.  I'm focused on becoming a man of character.

Which war?  1900-1917 is my favorite time period ever, so pre-WWI works for me.
