FL Studio is amazing. Why is it so cheap?

You must be my Lucky Star
'Cause you shine on me wherever you are
I just think of you and I start to glow
And I need your light
And baby you know

[Chorus:]

Starlight, starbright first star I see tonight
Starlight, [starbright] make everything all right
Starlight, starbright first star I see tonight
Starlight, [starbright] yeah

You must be my Lucky Star
'Cause you make the darkness seem so far
And when I'm lost you'll be my guide
I just turn around and you're by my side

[chorus]

Come on shine your heavenly body tonight
'Cause I know you're gonna make everything all right

You may be my lucky star
But I'm the luckiest by far

You know, ninjadroid, if you manage to make BONES use a larger size font, something which not even I have managed to do, i think its time to stfu and accept defeat

ninjadroid won.

[The Chase]

Neither of them "won".

Dude... I program for a living. I also do it for fun. If you couldn't figure out the joke, that's a personal problem. In actuality, I've written plenty of code in Lazarus and find it to be very enjoyable, and I'm pretty sure any real programmer (like gol) will get the reference := makes to the eons old flamewar between algol-descended syntaxes and everyone else. Really, you're the one who's blatantly ignorant for not picking up on this obvious cultural reference.

Sorry, the joke was buried in so many BS insults that I didn't see it.

Further, not once did I say that pascal was slow, yet you seized on that --- even though everyone with some modicum of familiarity with languages knows that Pascal has always been blazingly fast. Not only that, but because the early incarnations had a context free grammar, it could compile much faster than C. In fact, the difference in compile times for equivalent C++ and Turbo Pascal programs --- which compiled the Object Pascal language that Borland developed jointly with Wirth --- was often an order of magnitude in favor of Pascal.

Thats because the syntax of pascal was specifically arranged such that it would only need a single pass compiler, while a typical C compiler would need at least three. Of course, this also makes Pascal harder to deal with when it comes to larger things than well designed C or C++ or pretty much any other language except Perl.

Delphi seems to have fixed that but Borland is making it such shit that its much more worthwhile to go with something that will stay around a while longer - C++, C#, Java.

But if you don't think I know what I'm talking about, there's plenty of open source code on my website (http://gazuga.net) to back me up. Really, of all the things you could accuse me of being, ignorant of matters programming is not one of them.

Wihle I don't have a website, I have done plenty of things - I've done plenty of contributions to epiar (http://epiar.net), I've written the startup code for native versions of Retroforth (http://www.retroforth.org), among other things,
am studying comp sci and in my free time working on a commercial web dev app. My programming e-penis isn't any smaller or larger than yours.

I think they should go down the pub together, get really pissed, talk crap & swap manly stories of derring do, say how much they really *love ish uver*, help each other puke up on the way home, wrestle naked in front of a roaring fire and fall to sleep in each other's arms....then we could lock the topic.

Kinda like that scene in Jaws where the ole cap'n and Dreyfuss are swapping scar stories...

[Shane Sanders]

But clearly the cap'n had the wrong workflow or else he wouldn't have been eaten by a shark...

Sometimes it just takes one person to sum it all up.

basic channel I think you're invited as well... A perl necklace and C++ up yer 'arris.






This is where the thread degenerates into smut.
