Clever comeback! I should have seen this coming!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Spend the money, get something that is comfortable and supports your back! Our office went for the cheap seats, bloody uncomfortable and would not rise enough so my legs were horizontal.
Bought a $400 one from Ikea of all places and have been happy with it for 5 years so far.

If I had had a girl, I would have wanted to name her Cassiopeia. I think it's a beautiful name.

I posted the mile long post below, and almost at the same time, one of my friends (who's not on CP AFAIK) sends me THIS[^] on Farcebook.
Just another creepy coincidence!??!?

I don't get this fad in "functional programming". Who can recommend a decent dysfunctional language?
Life is too shor

COBOL
It was damn dysfunctional when I wrote in it!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That said, it was fun until they corrupted its beauty with the ugly COMPUTE verb.

Well, seing that it's going to come up sooner rather than later, I might as well mention it right away:
VB.Net!

A Haiku about VB.NET coding:
No no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no

Shouldn't there have been a GoTo somewhere in there?
And an On Error Resume Next

On Error Resume Next
10 Print "No no no no no"
20 Goto 10
Happy now?

The line numbering takes me way further back than VB.Net, all the way to Commodore 64 (and as you know, I'm in a nostalgic mood today )

In VB3 you could use optional line numbers. We had a doofus who would put them in as it 'helped with debugging'. We had him humanely destroyed.

You can still do that (use line numbers, that is) - I just checked in my VS 2015.
Not only for VB, even for C#!
Tools / Options / Text Editor / Basic (or C#) - And there it is: The Line numbers checkbox

You can still use line numbers in the latest version of VB.NET:
10: Dim i As Integer = 1
20: Console.WriteLine("Nope")
30: If i < 10 Then
40: i += 1
50: Goto 20
60: End If

Ah, yes... line numbering... and then you realize you need a chunk of code in the middle and no line numbers are left. That created a need for a program that could renumber your code.
Fondly remembered...

IIRC most, if not all, BASIC systems supported a RENUM command.

Missing in Commodore BASIC and C-64 BASIC which was an even older version of Commodore BASIC.
Commodore BASIC had decent garbage handling; C-64.. not so much.

That is VB6, not VB.NET. VB.NET is object oriented, VB6 is language of MS office macros
|

VBA is the language of Office macros. It's like VB6-lite - all the horrible syntax and design decisions, with some extra restrictions on top.
And VB.NET still supports both On Error ... and Goto .
