Sounds good, was certainly more fun to read/listen to then my C++ teacher's 2.5 hour
lecture on ints.

He likes to use dynamic memory allocation a lot... that seems to be his downfall too.
Bowen thinks .duo. should stick to static sized variables.

Er... um. I think maybe you're doing that wrong if you need to be in global mode.
Global mode doesn't need query.

Not necessarily, at least not when I used it. It gets object clicks and all those
types of events without the need to query first.

Why would you need a witness... I wonder. Worried about trojans? You should make it
a requirement for the club members to share code openly.

Then it's nothing more than an executable sharing club. Sure, you could claim it a
programmer club, but unless they're sharing the source... there's no point. Isn't
the point of clubs to learn from your peers?

Which actually helps people learn. If you picked up an HTML book right now, or just
copy and pasted HTML from others' websites... who do you think would learn HTML
faster from trial and error? The one who copy and pasted, right? Because he's
experimenting. The one who's doing it from a book is learning what the book wants
him to know and maybe not what he needs to know to do anything worthwile. It's great
you can put tables together to show predefined statistics, but can you put tables
together to show a webpage worth visiting?

Yeah, KAH has to finish his new system which I have no idea on what he's doing.
Maybe we can incorperate the club into that instead of seperating them off from the
rest of the community, or something.

The best way to learn is through trial and error, not through what people tell you.
You can learn from both, but the better of the two is on your own.

Should be better to make it a read-only state? Maybe even putting an "AFK" across

Visual Basic programmers need to get into the habit of including those
runtimes and libraries needed for their programs. One does not want to
spend 20 hours looking around MSDN for the files they need.

You have every need. Provide 3 packages. One with runtimes, one
without, and one with the source. Some people need the runtimes, some
people don't, some people don't need the source.
