Writing a virus using VB? Must be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Regards, Matt J.

Sobeit, Quite interesting the converter. But I find the real problem is, VB doesn't support low-level functionality. Such as implementing the registers, or truley inlining routines. Considering, all code is compiled into assembly at some point, and the fact that C was initially developed to provide a slightly higher-level of abstraction than Assembly, it makes sense that C/C++ is the 'way to go'. Unlike BASIC (Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), which was developed as a play-thing to allow random users to write very simple applications. Anyway, getting a bit offtopic. I'm just overlaying a point, in that, to retain VB's high-HIGH level of abstraction it comes at quite a high cost. Regards, Matt J.

Sobeit, I have absolutely nothing against your choice of VB, not _that_ much. I only dislike it when people try to make it ("VB") out to be something it's not. i.e; A practical language. It's good to hear you're learning C++. Accompanied with your knowledge of VB makes you quite a multi-talented programmer. Always benificial to have a broad range of skills, such as being fluent in multiple programming languages. I myself began programming at age 12, I broke my ankle in three seperate places and my father bought me a "JavaJ2EE" programming book to give me something to do. After becomming fluent in Java, I learnt C, then moreso C++. Then came VB, I learnt it but felt I was going back in time, too many abstract terms. And then later, I learnt a various range of older languages, including COBOL, Pascal, Fortran, FORTH and a few others that I sort of 'dropped'. And that concludes my programming history. ;-\ Regards, Matt J.

Oh my god! A sign of intelligent life, hoorah! <3

greeneyes, You've made a total fool of yourself, yet again. Ofcourse it doesn't make sense to you! You're intelectually handicapped, remember? Further proof of this, is your choice of VB. :) Considering, that was learnt about 5 years ago now, I believe you're just fishing for something to go by. #include <windows.h> // Windows API interface. (For you VB geeklets; Contains the prototpes of exported symbols from various Windows libraries) INT main() { DWORD dwWriteResult; // Buffer for the 'console-written bytes' result. // // Write a string to the standard console output page. // WriteConsole(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), "Hello VB geeks!\nLook how superior C++ is to you.\nYour life is meaningless, please slit your fat wrists!", 103 * sizeof(CHAR), &dwWriteResult, NULL); // // Return TRUE, indicating an operation success. // return TRUE; } My initial post proves you a total moron after that remark. Wow, do you even try to make sense? Illiterate geek, how funny you are. :D Now you're just being silly. Your life story isn't relevent in this debate, reframe from disclosing your own personal experiences; We wouldn't want you to realize reality, and then suicide, now would we? And obviously, since you're trying to apply your own traits to I, I can, yet again, prove you wrong. Firstly, I do not wear glasses; Unlike you. Secondly, you seem to assume I'm 'insulting' you? You seem very insecure, maybe you should stop trying to humiliate yourself. Thirdly, your references to reality just further proves how little your social life must really be. And lastly, it seems _you_ are the one fishing for attention, and thus, respect. Silly kid, you contradict yourself on every turn. Not only can I, myself, backup my statements; But any valid text can do so aswell. Oh now this is when you're getting reallllly pathetic. "1337ness" ? Lol. What are you, some sort of nerd monarch ? Now that's rich. Amazing, you can both admit how naeve you really are by accusing me of 'threating' when I have done no such thing, but you actually use a term like 'pingflood' to also prove how very, very little knowledge you have on the programming topic, and really, only a total computer-illiterate would use such a term. :) Ah, now your true programming *Laugh* skills *LAUGH* are comming out; You use third-party applications to 'hack' ? Wow, you are just too sad, how can you even bare to live? Yet again, your naeve mindset has proved you just a sad, lonely little nerd. I have never, ever stated I was a 'hacker', because as a programmer, a _real_ programmer, I know how oblivious the term really is. You just can't win at anything, can you? Wow, you think your some sort of 'standard geek' on these forums? You're that intimidated by someone with actual knowledge you can't handle them proving you wrong on every turn? You really are quite pitiful. Please geek, you're just going to hurt yourself by arguing me/facts. Regards, Matt J.

greeneyes, Oh and, also. Your attempt to look smart, by using words that you don't understand, namely 'Jusitfy', has yet again proved your inferiority. It's completely out of context, idiot. Re-think your life, please. Regards, Matt J.

greeneyes, Wow, guess you never got around to writing essays in the seventh grade; Typical outcast. The only 'pathetic' thing here, is your support of VB. Moron. Please, crawl back into your hole and die, closet geek. Regards, Matt J.

Disagree all you like, kiddie-scripter, it won't change the facts. Only a complete idiot, like yourself, would even consider using 'VB' for 'hacking', and then you attempt to denote C++ as being the inferior language? You seriously need a reality check, kid. Just because VB is all you can understand, doesn't mean it's at all superior. Blame yourself for not being able to use a _real_ programming language, like C++. Wow, you don't actually believe the shit that dribbles from your mouth do you? Please, quit attempting to justify VB's blatent inferiority, it just isn't going to work. By all means, stick to VB, believe it's a 'good' language, live in a fantasy world. Just don't try to advertise your own ignorant beliefs as facts, because they very well arn't. Regards, Matt J.

Visual Basic is nothing more than a toy language, the only usefull thing about it being the syntax of which is so simple that any random user could comprehend, thus being good candidate for scripting implemention. Visual Basic is best suited for writing very small applications which don't require high-performance or efficency, such as a text-editor. Visual Basic, has been, and always will be a second-rate language and only good for when you need to remind yourself, as a C++ & ASM programmer, how much more intelligent you are for not using Visual Basic. All-in-all, Visual Basic is best suited for the random thumb-sucking twelve year old geek, who can only work on such a high level of abstraction that it doesn't even relate to reality.
