ATTENTION ALL YOUNG PROGRAMMERS!!
I have started a Freeware/Shareware company for YOUNG PROGRAMMERS, and I'm looking for voluntary members. If you join and contribute to a project you will get a cut of the profit (if there is any). Anyone interested should E-Mail me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE or add to this thread:
[email protected] or visit te website below (yeah I know the stuff on there is crap, but I'm better now... honest

)
This is a great opertunity to help and learn from each other. (Cliché!).
You don't even have to be a great programmer, anyone with a basic knowledge of VB QBASIC or even BBC BASIC is welcome.

Thanks. - ricmitch_uk age 15

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?

**HarryW** · Jan 2nd, 2001, 01:36 PM

Temporally challenged.... I like that

Jan 2nd, 2001, 02:03 PM

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.

**HarryW** · Jan 2nd, 2001, 02:09 PM

Then they will likely have no respect for you. It seems strange that I am classified as an 'old fart' at age 19, but if that's what you think, then good luck getting on well with everyone

Jan 2nd, 2001, 02:18 PM

Sorry Harry. I don't mean to cause offence by this post... just meet some people who can join the company. If you don't like what I've said then complain... just not on this thread!!

Jan 2nd, 2001, 02:19 PM

"fresh ideas" hmmmmmmm.....maybe. Most likely tho, "re-
invent the wheel"

**wey97** · Jan 2nd, 2001, 02:20 PM

I was programming while you were in diapers.
I'll show you old fart you little f**k!

**JPRoy392** · Jan 2nd, 2001, 02:44 PM

Maybe this ricmitch_uk guy likes little boys. *****ing pervert!

JPRoy392! If you have nothing better to do than spend your time sat infront of your moniter trying to interpret innocent threads making them sound like I'm a perv you lead a VERY SAD LIFE INDEED. I'm not some kind of sicko, all I want to do is meet some people my own age who have similar interests. Is that so wrong?
PS.
IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN THIS THREAD APART FROM TO INSULT ME?

**paulw** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 07:17 AM

Nope - you young whippersnapper you.

Jan 3rd, 2001, 08:57 AM

Not me. I live for insults, although usually they're aimed
at JP or Dennis.

**JPRoy392** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 10:12 AM

I never thought that at age 27 that I would be considered an old fart. Ricmitch is an infantile little cry baby. You show signs of your immaturity by using phrases like "...The only reason I don't want old farts is because I want the company to have young people with fresh ideas ..." and "...I also have no respect for my elders...."

Why would anyone want to work with you or for you? If age determines how fresh your ideas are, then I think that you are missing something.

Why don't you go play with your Play Station 2 and listen to some BackStreet Boys CD's or something. I'm sure that mommy and daddy got you that really cool poster of N'Sync for Christmas. Why don't you just butter your corn to that! (Age discrimination is a b!tch, isn't it?)

Well there goes another New Years Resolution to treat people nice. And it is only the third day of the year!

**zmerlinz** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 11:50 AM

i think that we should give him some support, come on Kovans company http://www.alkitab.net is going strong (which i am a part of). but as for having fresh ideas from kids i think that you would be better off employing anyone from any age range, because the "older generation" have been here for longer nad understand things more,
JP - i think that he prefers Westlife

and why the hell does he live up a Male sheep Arse ?

**JPRoy392** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 12:02 PM

I never even heard of Westlife!! I had to look them up on http://www.google.com . Maybe I really am an old fart.

Where's my walking stick? I have to go to lunch.

**zmerlinz** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 12:05 PM

i wish i was that ignorant, i hate pop music

bTw ricmitch_uk, your link to your website don't work, just thought i would tell u

Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:10 PM

Sorry I've fixed the link You can now get to my website via.

Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:16 PM

Nice page, ric.

Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:24 PM

Thanx DerFarm. Sahme about the crap downloads though. I made most of them years ago in QBASIC.
PS. Westlife Suck only girls like them. Tey can't play instruments, they can't sing, they can't even mime! If someone likes them they deserve to be shot.

**JPRoy392** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:32 PM

Website isn't too bad. Good luck with your business.

JPRoy392 thinks to himself "today was not a good day to quit drinking coffee."

"Where's my wheelchair?"

Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:36 PM

Don't put yourself down too much JPRoy392 You're not ancient, hell you've not even hit middle age yet.

**barrk** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:40 PM

You have no idea what knowledge and companionship you will miss if you limit the amount of people who are worthy of your time.....you brat!

**JPRoy392** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:53 PM

Katie, are you calling me a brat?

**Benjamin** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 02:56 PM

ricmitch:

Please do not call anyone older than 19 an old fart.... no I am not over 19, I am 14, but I have quite a few friends that are over 19.... one is 27 and he's a hell of a lot more fun, and smarter than any 14 year old I know.

Why don't you go play with your Play Station 2 and listen to some BackStreet Boys CD's or something. I'm sure that mommy and daddy got you that really cool poster of N'Sync for Christmas. Why don't you just butter your corn to that! (Age discrimination is a b!tch, isn't it?)

Jim is right... I hate when people think of me as a "normal teenager"... ****ing stereotypes piss me off.... they just assume "we" are all alike....
just like you assumed that all peoples over 19 are old farts....

and Jim, backstreet boys isn't really the "thing" anymore.... now it's rap

horrible, horrible HORRIBLE... I hate that music..... I hate those "boy bands" too, but I would rather listen to them then rap...... god I hate rap......

and one more thing, I never heard of westlife either.... and I don't think I want to know...

ricmitch_uk:
I might think about joining your group... do you accept C++ programmers?
I can program in DOS as well as windows.

**barrk** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 03:01 PM

JPRoy...I wasn't calling you a brat...you've always treated everyone like a person...regardless of their age...as far as I know! Didn't mean to upset you.

**JPRoy392** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 03:15 PM

You could never upset me, Katie. Just for the record, I think that the "younger" generation is in great hands because of level-headed programers that are on this web site. There are plenty of talented young programmers that visit this site often enough that one neophyte can not ruin the bunch. I just like to bust them because for some reason, no one will admit that they listen to the BackStreet Boys and N'Sync, yet their record sales are though the roof!

Have a peaceful new year everyone!

**HarryW** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 04:59 PM

*Looks innocent* It wasn't me

I have very different musical tastes to that, just check the lyrics thread to see for yourself.

**barrk** · Jan 3rd, 2001, 05:00 PM

It was every single one on my daughter's girlfriends

Jan 4th, 2001, 01:54 PM

Sure Benjamin mail me for more details! Everyone is welcome. You're the first person to actually express any interest in this. Come on everyone, jump on board!

Jan 4th, 2001, 02:00 PM

If you're less than 19, that is.

**HarryW** · Jan 4th, 2001, 02:23 PM

Looks like it's zimmer frame shopping for me tomorrow

Could that possibly be because you come across as a spoiled, arrogant brat????????

**parksie** · Jan 4th, 2001, 03:13 PM

Do I detect a hint of friction between you two?

**barrk** · Jan 4th, 2001, 03:15 PM

Just read the entire thread. The question answers itself.

**parksie** · Jan 4th, 2001, 04:24 PM

I did read the thread...I was being slightly cynical / sarcastic / whatever you want to call it.

rcmitch_uk - I really think you might benefit from being a little more tactful in your wording

Jan 4th, 2001, 04:27 PM

Yeah, and Attila the Hun could have been a little less
aggressive.

**JPRoy392** · Jan 4th, 2001, 04:42 PM

Katie, for the record, you can call me a brat anytime you want!
