where is the new access 2007 newsgroup?

[Master Programmer]

Aaron, you know what they say - you can't educate pork. Maybe I need to
spell it out for them again....

LOOK STUPID KIDS...... ASK YOURSELF WHY MS now have to "Give Visual
Sudio Away" ???

Think about that very hard then come back here with some more of your
stupid comments.

I _love_ the vbcrlf lol

I just wish that MS would listen to their MVPs; i mean.. how many MVPs
have signed the petition?

we should just spam the **** out of people telling them to sign the
petition.. I wonder if we could quailfy for non-profit status LoL

and the holocaust did happen.. I saw the 'work camps' first hand about
20 years ago...

I just don't think that they indiscriminitely killed people.. and if
they did then they probably worked them to death

but then again; we did the same thing in America with internment camps;
etc.

and for the record; the nips killed what 30 million chinese? and stalin
killed 50 million russians.. hitler killed 6 million jews-- so why does
hitler get all the bad press when it was really the damn japs that did
all the killing?

the truth is that nobody gives a shit about japs killing chinese or
russians killing russians-- because they're considered 'less important
peoples'

no; I dont think that we should be propping up a failed military
dictatorship in Israel.
I dont think that the Holocaust justifies running in and stealing a
bunch of land and putting a little blue and white flag on top.

but I do believe that there were a lot of awful things going on in
World War 2... but I would choose Auschwitz over Nanking any day of the
week.

you're full of shit bitch

I didn't decide that 'learning vb.net was too difficult'

since i've been USING it; i've decided that it's too verbose.
and I don't need to subject myself to this crap; i'm good enough on the
database side that I can go the rest of my life without ever writing
another line of .NET and I can make more than 6 figures.. and never
have a shortage of jobs.

I've just realized that VB.net is slower development than what I'm
accustomed to; and I call for a SIMPLICATION OF VB on Microsoft's
part... and specifically-- of ADO.net.

ADO.net is just fucking STUPID slow.
ADO.net is just fucking STUPID slow.
ADO.net is just fucking STUPID slow.

make a dataset; it takes 30 seconds to do anything; load a dataset and
it takes another 10 seconds.

datasets are the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen; and there is
aboslutely NO POINT in using ADO.net for me.

I'll just stick with ADO 6- everyone does realize that there is a new
version of 'ADO Classic' that is shipped with Vista.. right?

use of profanity and education are not directly related.. for the
fucking record

and B) if you were mis treated by Microsoft -- as a contractor-- and
you had to put up with crappy ass software that crashed; maybe you'd
have the balls to have be pissed off also.

You really *are* a piece of work, aren't you?

Killing 6 million people purposely in the death camps is no
"better" than killing 30 million Chinese (if it's true) just
because it was a fewer number. What makes it more horrific is
that it was a specific group of people targeted and they were
systematically killed, they were driven into gas chambers and
shoved into ovens because of their religion.

This is an inappropriate setting for a discussion, and I
hereby invoke Godwin's law, and declare this thread dead.

technically robin... killing 6 million people is a LOT SMALLER DEAL
than killing 30 million people.

it's a factor of _FIVE_

and also? the total # of people that died in the concentraction camps..
it was really 12 million.. but 6 of those were those goddamn russians
and gypsies.. right?

why don't we care about the 75 million russians that died?

50 from Stalin
25 from concentration camps, soldiers and civilian deaths

Are russians less important?

we're talking about a factor of 12.5 to 1.

12.5 russians died for every jew.
why don't we barge into the soviet union and fix them up nice and good?

BECAUSE WE WERENT STRONG ENOUGH TO BEAT THEM MILITARILY?
is that a good reason?

BECAUSE THE VICTORS WRITE THE HISTORY BOOKS?

it's all just a crock of crap

hitler doesn't make it into the top 5 list of civilian deaths of the
20th century.

and the Indians?

us Americans handed out Smallpox-infected blankets-- to the Indians--
to kill them off-- so that we could take their land.

Was that MORAL?

Why don't we run around; carving huge sections of the middle east so
that the Native Americans can have a homeland?

And we can prop the new Native American Jerusalem for SIXTY YEARS even
when they start wars to expand their borders?

And we go to war to prevent nuclear weapons prolif.. but we sit idly by
while the Israelis build them??

[Oenone]

why don't we care about the 75 million russians that died?

Is it because the name of the newsgroup we'd have to discuss it in is just
too damned long?

 

[aaron.kempf]

exactly

the newsgroup name is too long

-Aaron

Is it because the name of the newsgroup we'd have to discuss it in is just
too damned long?

 

[Oenone]

exactly

the newsgroup name is too long

Do you not find it unbalancing that you have an excess of vowels in your
first name (60%), and yet hardly any at all in your last name (only 20%)?

 

[aaron.kempf]

no that doesn't bother me.

of course I didn't rename myself when I hit the age of 21 to be
aaron.student.in.college.but.drinks.too.much.kempf

only an idiot-- that doesn't understand the slightest bit about
marketing-- would choose a newsgroup name like
microsoft.public.dotnet.langauges.vb

the bottom line is that vb.net is no longer called vb.net; it is called
vb 2005 now; and not vb.net

-Aaron

 

[Master Programmer]

Yeah, some things never change. For the last 5 years all we hear about
is 9/11 (its actually 11/9) - big whoopie fucking doooo. So 3000 were
killed - how does that compare to 600,000 Iraq civilians in senceless
retaliation looking for non-existent WMD's ? Every time the tv is on
its still "war on terror - 9/11 - 9/11" - blah blah blah. What about
the Tsunami - 250,000 dead ? But of course because they were Asians,
Americans see then as somehow not important or that incident not worthy
of as much mention as a fire in a towerblock.

clinton got attacked 3 times and did nothing but exacerbate the problem

Cole, Embassies, WTC part 1

Saddam was paying people to blow themselves up in the West Bank. I
think that we should technically 'go nuclear' flatten the whole fucking
Arabian Peninsula and pave it, put walmarts and american flags
everywhere

-Aaron

 

[Oenone]

of course I didn't rename myself when I hit the age of 21 to be
aaron.student.in.college.but.drinks.too.much.kempf

True, but a pity -- that would have had a much better overall distribution
of vowels.

only an idiot-- that doesn't understand the slightest bit about
marketing-- would choose a newsgroup name like
microsoft.public.dotnet.langauges.vb

That's true, Microsoft have been fairly lacking in their marketing. They'll
never get to be a big successful company unless they improve that. Perhaps
you should apply for a job with them?

the bottom line is that vb.net is no longer called vb.net; it is
called vb 2005 now; and not vb.net

Oh, I thought the bottom line was that the name of the newsgroup was too
long? Or was that another thread? I get confused between them sometimes.

The bottom line is that there are too many threads in this newsgroup.

 

[aaron.kempf]

too many threads?

ROFL

I think that MS is surely losing the VB.net battle; as a symptom; I
refer to the traffic count in this channel is so much lower than the C#
channnels

-Aaron

 

[aaron.kempf]

then why are there specific newsgroups for specific editions of VB?

oh did someone at Microsoft bend a rul-sie?

[Oenone]

I think that MS is surely losing the VB.net battle; as a symptom; I
refer to the traffic count in this channel is so much lower than the
C# channnels

Perhaps that's because VB is easier than C# and people need less help.

Ha ha ha. Yeah, make the fuckers play baseball and eat hotdogs -
instead of chanting all of that Allah Mohammed Islam shite.

[aaron.kempf]

that's just flat out funny.. absolutely hilarious

i'm just trying to say-- that MS is making it appear as if vb is dead
by the dismal traffic in microsoft.public.vb

either this damn langauge is called VB or its .NOT but as we all
know-- it's not called .NET anymore.. it's just called VB 2005.

Why can't VB 2005 use the microsoft.public.vb newsgroup?

I hate the word .NET i would rather use microsoft.public.vb
the word .NET just reminds me of the horrible injustice that happened
in the great battle for VB.net 2002 and VB.net 2003.

they shouldn't have changed the newsgroup name back then; and I just
flat out refuse to let MS inadvertently kill off VB by making it appear
abandoned

microsoft.public.vb
microsoft.com/vb

these two addresses make it appear as if ms has killed VB

-Aaron
