He said in a comment, and I quote:
"I'm 13 as well, I'm starting on some C++ for hacking games now, I can get good 'street cred.' and become the most well known 'Admin Annoyance' at school too, I'm currently working on a way to get stuff on the school computers, easy with VB6, but I'm trying VB 2008, 'cause if a can find a way, I'm sure people will be gullible enough to buy it LOL!"
NOOOO... That is just, fuck... that kind of joke is just... UGUHGHGHSFG... RAGGGEEEE

He'll have a hard time learning serious languages when he grows up a bit.
Fixed. And he'll never achieve Satori.
This is a perfect example of why every sane programmer hates VB and all that is associated with it.

Seriously, and I have experienced that myself, VB is a terrible waste of time.
When I was 8 aprox., i used to spend a lot of time writing failing projects in visual basic. Most were left abandoned, but I used to spend a lot of time reading the documentation, trying to find interesting stuff. Everything had strange ways to do things, (on error resume next, dim. even malloc is nicer, damn!) so the most ambituous (and last) thing i tried to write, a simple game, failed terribly ("oh wow, i can duplicate controls with a "new"... but i have to set the index property... call the show method after creating each... and handle nonsensical errors", and so on)
When i was 12 i got intarwebs, and googled "how to become a hacker". Now, three years later, i'm on linux, coding with forced indentation1, criticising the beautifulness of other people's code.
And I really feel that I lost valuable years of real hacking...

unless you're discussing the propagation of ideas through the idea of analogy to natural selection in biology as put forth in The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, the use of the term ``meme'' is unscientific and ultimately destructive

I wanted to read this book like half a year ago. I couldn't have gotten through the first few pages. Then I read A Brief History of Time in on sitting. Ergo, Dawkins sucks as a writer and Hawking wins.

Over here we put stack allocators on a train to ``work camps''.

BEHOLD, REFLECTION.

Awesome, from now on I'm using BBCODE commands instead of colours to highlight syntax.

2HTML *2html.vim* *convert-to-HTML*
This is not a syntax file itself, but a script that converts the current
window into HTML. Vim opens a new window in which it builds the HTML file.
You are not supposed to set the 'filetype' or 'syntax' option to "2html"!
Source the script to convert the current file: >
:runtime! syntax/2html.vim
<
Warning: This is slow!

EMACS does support italics and bold (and I RAGE when I see that it renders \emph{foo} as \emph{foo}, but does not underline the text in \underline{foo}.).
