Accumulator Problem

[stevie]

hmmm...this thread policed itself -- why get all strongarm-y?

[dadsherm]

I really feel sorry for you kids.
If you would take the time to answer a question WITHOUT the use of profanity, it would help to set the tone of your reply much better.
As for if the student copied down the homework or not, is not for anyone to say, but the student. And if it was copied, they are only hurting themselves.
If you are wondering why I said "kids", it's for two reasons:

First : Some of you say "let's drop it", and then continue to try to get in the last word,

Second: I'm probably older than most, if not all, of you. So what I write, I write from experience.
Nobody cares if you have the last word or not, but they DO care about how you treat them.
I don't know if we just lost a future programmer or not because of what some of you had to say, but for their sake, and for the sake of this forum, I hope not.

Last word

*run's away to hide from dadsherm*

Lol, this thread has gone completely off-topic :bounce:

So anyways, what did you guys have for dinner on the 1st of January?

[stevie]

dadsherm: you're perpetuating the thread. What you have done is successfully incite and insult other people in the thread by doign the very things you cited as childish. It doesn't matter. I won't reply to another thing in this thread, and fling-master can respond to my message to him via PM if he likes -- or not at all, I was just curious anyway.

[Fling-master]

Enough! Keep this on topic and stop your petty bickering!

[adosorken]

Everybody: You will cool it!

You tell 'em Fling

[Fling-master]

Damn straight!

you should all listen to dadsherm, he's wiser beyond your years. at the rate you guys go with all of these threads, qbnews will be alive for the soul purpose of getting the last word in. thats not what this community is about, this community is about helping others with their coding problems and showing off your QB stuff. if you guys don't stop squabbling (especially the newbs) then this place will go under again. i don't want this to be a qbasic.com, i want this to be better...

*ahem* about qbasic.com, it's forum is thriving with newbies and oldies as well. The only thing that is wrong with it is, its not being updated by the owner =P. And I too agree with Z!re. It has always been the policy of the qmunity that no one is going to help with homework assignments. It's not going to help the person asking for help on his/her homework. It is also my policy as well.

If you feel that someone wants help on some homework you should hint him or point in the correct direction. Nobody is asking you to fix the program or write the whole program. Just give some pseudo code or algorithm or you can always ignore the thread =P. At the end of the day you can't expect the newbie to dream up things that he doesn't know. Guidance is always helpful

you my freind, just did what you said was unethical. you stated that "you should ignore the thread", yet you still posted just to get the last post. read dadsherms post, then decide to reply to this or not.
