Typically an initial program for a new platform, language, or proof of concept, begins with a simple output of "hello world" to ensure things are working. A "constant" is a data value that once set can not be changed. Data values are often "passed" into a function/method/sub-routine to perform a logical process. In older languages a passed value is, by default, passed by "copy". Thus the original value remains unaffected by any function manipulation of its copy. Sometimes it is possible to pass such values by "reference", making it possible for the function to manipulate the original value. However, a constant is by definition a constant value and can not be changed.
The joke is... I think changing a constant by reference is funny.
Here is a better one for the programmers "out there"...
When told to "goto hell", the "goto" is the insult.
Okay, I'll stop now. 'Nite all.

Wait... one last one. This is real and was unintentional when I created it. The geeks should get a laugh. Keep in mind, the alternative to "protected" is "public".
:lol: OMG!! That's hilarious even if it was intentional. Your girlfriend needs to put out more often!!
Sorry newton2064 for hijacking your thread. We loose our concentration really quick around here.

Maybe Whys can tell me what spoolsv is and why it does not show a Microsoft signature. My anti virus program is repeated showing it is infected and can't be cured.

Tom, spoolsv.exe is a program that helps your PC handle print and fax jobs.
However, viruses can be written to act as trojans - that is, giving the appearance of being harmless. One method of doing this is when virus writers give their program a name that looks innocent - so just because you have a program named "spoolsv" doesn't mean it's this Windows component (especially if antivirus software is telling you it's bad!)
Other than that, I can't help you much. 90% of my computing is done on Macs, so I'm not too good at troubleshooting things like this on Windows computers.
