c is defunct

I don't like to be big headed but I think I am one of the best programmers
this world has seen. At school I fell in love with a language called
Pascal. I got a c+ for my final project. Once I had finished learning this
I decided to move on to a more powerful language. The language I chose is
considered the most difficult to learn but by far the most powerful, the
advanced low-level bit manipulation tool, Visual Basic.
I progressed through high school and got a job at McDonalds. In my spare
time I would windows kernel hack in a mix of another language called COBOL
and ofcorse Visual Basic. I have done all this without any knowledge of
languages you "unis" people use called c.
I have heard you unis lads arent bad coders therefore I am making a plea to
you all to embrace visual basic as your language of choice then you could
make Internet Explorer for unis. Just emagine the other possabilitys!
If you haven't already embraced it because you don't have the run times I
could send them to you.
Thanks for listening guys. I know you don't have internet connections so
when you read this on your mums windows box, drop me a line back. Thanks.

[ ] You use the term 'powerful' for a programming language without
knowing the most overloaded, bloated Perl.

Learn how to spell. How did you find this newsgroup without being able
to spell "UNIX"?

Donate us Visual Basic for *x and we'll try. If the GUI is faster than
Java's Swing, perhaps someone will use it (I hate that slow Java stuff)
- but calculation speed must not be much slower than Java.
And why would anyone want Internet Explorer for UNIX? Look at
http://www.heise.de/ct/browsercheck/e5demo.shtml - you don't want to use
such a browser, do you?

It worked. Now I decoded it.
This was ROT13 encoded text. KNode should be able to "decipher" this - I
"encoded" this using vim's keyboard shortcut "g?j".
But it is German and means "This is on purpose a link to a German site
so that he'll ask and then get ranted because he's in the wrong
newsgroup."
You did the following mistake:
- Post in the wrong newsgroup.
As long as there is no working .NET runtime for UNIX systems, a UNIX
newsgroup is completely off-topic for everything about VB.NET.
This newsgroup is even more wrong if you do not understand the language
mostly spoken here (German). But before posting in any newsgroup one has
to read some (>>100) articles of this group. So you should have noticed
we do not post in your language.

Why not just click View->Unscramble (Rot13) in knode?

We're Germans and we use Unix. That's a combination of two demographic
groups known to have no sense of humour whatsoever.

I do not use KNode. I use slrn as newsreader with vim as editor.

Right. Also check if he was root - especially if the passwords were the
same, check for backdoors.

There *are* people who really think this way.

He defiantly wasn't root. I only gave him access to my account so he could
surf the web. I'll make him an account... if he's lucky!

Thats whats known as "hardcore"! Knode is an excelend NR. Have you given it
a shot?

Not really. slrn or tin plus vim is a fairly common combination,
especially in *unix* newsgroups.
> Knode is an excelend NR.
Maybe. So is slrn. And it has the advantage that it runs in a plain text
terminal, so I can use it via ssh even if there's no X server running -
like, if I'm at home and have to use my brother's Windows box.
Cheers,

you meant that you decoded it in vim (reading "decoded" instead of
"encoded") because KNode should be able to decode but isn't (which would
not have been tue). Now I see what you really meant.
