It means this moron is pretending to be something he is not in order to try and get a response. The post is not genuine, it's just designed to get people worked up.
Five bucks says he is drunk.

Well, if I was a VB programmer, I'd probably be drinking, too.

Are you serious... took a moment to register... why then? I mean... I've had mostly good experiences here, though I WAS flamed for posting 'frivilous" posts in the lounge. I mean... what's the point?

Some people have no life. This is probably the only social interaction he gets, and he probably came here for it because he's scared of girls.

married w/ three girls 8, 10, and 16 I can't claim I'm scared of girls, but not much of a social life here. I would think the preceding statement just explained that. I code from 8am to 3pm... break till 9pm then code till 4pm or 5am. The joys of being self-employeed. But I'm pretty sure I owe you five bucks.. this looser isn't going to answer... you were likely right and he's passed out. IF you don't have a PO box... get and give me one of someone you know... I wont for/ and dont want any home address... and if you say I don't owe you... I won't talk to you again.. I meant my bet and would be expecting from you had you lost....
ps.. email the address to mfeik@comporium.net versus posting it here

That works... just didn't want to hear no slimy excuses why you would take it... I offered willingly and would hate to call you a baxter.

I had a great professor (that taught the only programming class I ever took)...I was 25 at the time and he open the class talking about how he can tell the people who have been out there from those who haven't.. he gave a short pause and said " when I say there is an airplane about to crash into our building, those who look to see are generally older"... the rest I figure are going to make a 'C' in this this course (it was course on 'c'... go figure. I did look, and did well in that class....and I MEANT no reference to the tragedy that took place here (9/11).. this was something I went though...

I'll tell you... but you have to admit you have been drinking instead of doing your homework (and what the hell school do you to that its basically Nov. and you are just on "hello world"... the single most written program in history????

The fact that no school would assign Hello World, as VC does it for you, and certainly not in Nov, is one reason that this is obviously a troll. But why are you asking him to help you lose our bet ?

a "hello world" app is the premise of nearly every book and language. As to why help loose my bet. If I had said "say you were not drinking and I'll help you.. I loose just for influencing the answer.. if you follow my meaning... personally... I just figured it the work of a moron.. but I am STILL new here so you all likely got it pegged (and ps.. i'm in for just 5 bucks... i lose.. just give me the po... mamma didn't raise no welchers..

True, it's the first thing a professor might SHOW you, not ask you to turn in.

I may be wrong, the levels of stupidity some people achieve still surprises me. It could be an assignment at a sheltered workshop.

*grin* Are we talking $5 AU or $5 US ? You know it would cost that to send it, don't you ?
And in relation to an earlier comment, most people here ARE good, but there more than 52,000 members, so you've got to expect one or two strange ones. This guy is not even a member. Even so, I've had a few flame wars, mostly regarding my opinion of US gun law. One great thing about this place is that we can yell at each other a bit, and not hold a grudge. If not for that, I'd have been tarred, feathered and run out of town a long time ago.

there is an instance of this provided in VC6, don't even have to type nothing, just select the 'hello world' app

US of course... I'd hate to short change you.
I am quite serious about paying up...I owe and I pay... and we are talking what... I have to have 2 beers next lunch instead of four.. i'll survive... so don't give me crap about why you can't accept... you have my email... settle up in private. And never mention we used this forum to make a bet. Oh.. can you accept US currency or do you rather I do the exchange afore sending?
