>>>ATTENTION ALL YOUNG PROGRAMMERS!!!!<<<

he didn't say specifically that people over 18 or whatever didn't have new or fresh ideas......he just said that he wants younger people because of their new ideas....

in someway it is true that the younger people have new ideas.....why do you think that kids can amuse themselves for hours on end playing by themselves....they have excelent imaginations....the older you get.....the less creativity you have....i'm not saying that old people don't know how to make new stuff...i just mean that mind of a child is filled with millions of thoughts that can be brought out to the surface fast for new ideas.

Yeah...it's a bit of a blow to morale to find that in 6 months' time you'll suddenly find yourself "useless".

What he said was ridiculous, and it is certainly not immature to point it out. Bloody hell, who gives a **** who's being 'mature' anyway? Why bother when you could just have fun instead? If I was 12 I would still think what he said was stupid, and I wasn't particularly mature then.

Well bollocks to it anyway. I'm gonna enjoy myself, and if you think I'm being immature then that's your problem, and you deserve it.

the whole point of this message post was for the guy who posted it to get some guyz around his own age to work together..... put it this way.........Would anyone older who has pretty much no time on their hands really want to try to start a company with a kid?

Its just something fun for teens to do....i personally enjoy programming....this is the perfect oportunity for others to learn and feel good about themselves once they've done something good.....

anywayz
l8tz

I am a teen, at least for a few months yet.

I can understand only wanting to work with your age group, but that doesn't mean that any other age group should have been called a name.

just let it go....jese....who cares..this whole conversation is so stupid...

Can you put the (cant spell) though the entire post BoB...you cant spell for cacca.

Is this thread dead?

I'm a real sucker for the underdog, and this guy seems like he is getting POUNDED! Its pretty painful to watch... er read.

Uh, wait a sec. I was JUST going to stick up for the guy, but then I reread his posts. Man, he was being rude! He may not have been the first to call people old fart (and only said it in response to DerFarm [Nice Temporally Challened thing by the way]) but he just got more and more aggressive after that.

It is understandable though. He just wanted to make a post to recrute like-minded individuals, and instead he gets flamed up the wazoo (fun word).

So do us all a favor please, and cut the (now absent from this post) guy some slack and let this post dive to depths of the board where it belongs.

By the way, I am 18, Programming for 3 years, a relativly nice guy, oh and ... PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!

That is all.

I know why he wants people under 18. I've run up against people doing this before. Both mentally and legally people under 18 (minors) are easier to exploit, and it's easier to steal their ideas claiming they belong to "the company." I'd be careful if I were you...

~Zero the Inestimable

I don't want exploit people! All I want to do is start a group that programs in its spare time and produces freeware/shareware and everyone who works on it gets a cut of the profit depending on how much work they did. I'm not gonna get into any copyright rows with anyone!

I didn't come up with the phrase Old Fart. DerFarm did:

Define young, please. Do you mean those who are
temporally challenged, or those who have been doing it
for a short time?

Any particular reason you don't want old farts?

When I said it I was only quoting him. I just don't know how to do those quote things.

I hadn't read this thread 'till now.
It had such a promising start. The first dozen or so posts were hilarious. What happened?

td.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know this thread is dead, (I'm a poet and I didn't know it). I just thought I'd start it up again, so everyone can be entertained by the wild insults thrown at me.

When I say young I mean someone who has an age of less than 19 years, no matter what their ability. The only reason I don't want old farts is because I want the company to have young people with fresh ideas who are prepared to work as a group who will get on well with each other. I also have no respect for my elders.

19 ain't exactually young...well it is to most people on this site!

Well why do you think they were hastling me then?

What's going on here then? Who's hastling who and why? I'm too lazy to read the previous three pages

Mr ricmitchuk started this thread by insulting everyone who was over the age of 18 saying that they( us old farts) had nothing to offer (and he had absolutely no respect for any old people) and were totally useless (paraphrasing obviously) and it set off a flame war....then he acted like he couldn't understand why people were angry with him.:rolleyes: :eek: :mad:

Whatever...he seems to have settled down now so dropping it might be a good idea :rolleyes:

Glad I didn't get involved with this one...damn.

Yeah, I felt the same way about the girls gym instructer (ess) when I was at school.

SD

I would love to join just tell me hen how where nd ill do it. I am 16 (male) hehe :D

I'm lots older than most of you young sprites and I have alot of fresh/new ideas........Trouble is, I usually forget most of 'em about 10 minutes or less after I think 'em up :(

Hey rickmitch.....seriously.......good luck on the new venture....I'm hereby granting you young fellows 1 year from today to crank out some real kick-ass software :)

The VB Continuum will be watching..........

Yeah, just gonna throw in my bit, The idea is not a bad one i grant you, but it was a bit ill worded don't you think? And the bit saying that you have no respect for your elders, why is that? I mean what's the problem with your elders?

And what i wanna know is how do you propose to make money from freeware :confused:

(j/king)

This one of the most misunderstood points on this thread, I didn't actually use the term old farts first, DerFarm did, when I used it I was just quoting him.

Hmmm...I don't think age matters but good luck anyway ricmitch_uk

ummm, i misunderstood nothing. i know you didn't start with the old farts thing, i was just curious as to why you have no respect for your elders as quoted in your intial post...

it had nothing to do with the fact that some one said old farts and it got blown out of proportion.

So why don't you have respect for your elders? and why do you think that only young people have fresh ideas? or is it that you wanted to come across as a non-conformist and wanted to sound like a rebel, and go into 'extreme programming' and not have anyone looking over your shoulder helping you with mistakes that you are gonna make....

I wonder how old Einstein was when he thought up the theory of relativity?
:D

Do we care? :D

I needed to think of an excuse for why I didn't want older ppl, it was the first thing that came to mind. Hey I was young and stupid then. I just want to work with ppl I'll get on with better and who won't try and be all: "I'm right 'cos I've worked for friggin' Dell for 15 years!!"
Y'know.

hey i think the old farts have more to them than some people think. like they've gone through most of their lives and they know what they want and what to look for while us youngsters are still developing and educated opinion.

just my 2 cents worth

I'm horney:)!:D
