Unemployed Underscores

Unemployed Underscores is a non-profit organization dedicated to the wellbeing of underscore characters. Our mission:

Are you an underscore who has recently been made redundant? Things can be hard in today's troubling economic climate. We run reskilling classes specially for underscores -- train to become a parenthesis! or even an xml tag! Please visit here for more information.

Underscores, not underdogs!

As a C# leading underscore who generally likes to keep myself to myself, I send my sympathies to my VB brethen. It really is the end of the line for you!

I have some sympathy for you guys but you must admit you were always trailing behind the other characters, keeping a low profile.

You would think that in this time of economic crisis Microsoft would do everything it could to provide new jobs to underscores; not refactor them out of their homes and onto the streets!

As a person that has used underscores, I can sympathize with them. It seems that my fellow punctuation mark is getting the brunt of the blame. After all, it is much easier to use him rather than that <> syntax of markup.. HTML, XML.. EIEIOXML, whatever your flavor.... I yearn for a simpler time when it was just the underscore that broke up our code...

What a pity. I have an underscore friend who is now out of job. He applied to another context recently, I hope he'll get the position.

I hear there are lots of openings for underscores at the Unit Test Method Naming Convention.

As a current employer of many underscores, I can't help but remember another difficult time in the past when many underscores had to shift their jobs due to changes in our naming convention when we adopted CamelCase. We said goodbye to "tb_First_Name" and hello to "firstNameTextbox". I only hope my underscores will find greener pastures elsewhere now that I no longer have the challenging and enriching environment for their skillset.

Underscores, take heart! You can find new work as a fluent interface!

C# allows "_" to be a method name. So you can be an extension method like this:

public static WebControl _(this WebControl container, Control control)
{
container.Controls.Add(control);
return container;
}

I have contacted some friends in the Peace Corps, and they're working on starting a new branch called the Unders Corps to help our poor underscore breatheren.

You people are ruining _
a perfectly good language! _
You might think this _
is progress for VB _
but the only way you'll _
stop me from using _
underscores is to _
completely remove _
compiler support for _
them. _
I suppose you will try to remove _
the colon between statements _
in your next subversive _
version! _
Dim ruiners as String : ruiners = "VB Team"

REMember the underscore and get _

back to the BASICS!

We the semi-colons feel your pain - we were also unemployed until we were able to find work in every C# code line.

The underscores were underhanded! Under whos underminded instructions
considered them underdeveloped? Now underscores will hit the underground scene of
under achievers.... what a very unlike underdog move you pulled under the table.
Poor under appreciated underscores.....JJ

Oh underscore, look what you have done to yourself. I told you to stop laying down on the job. Now see you are out of work.

You should have been more like me. Maybe some of you will join me now.

Your friend |

Cousingu loves underscores and will always use'em. No matter what.

Give underscore and the cheval a chance!

ching ching..

I used to hate having to work tirelessly in every variable name, now I sit on sunny beaches! Yay for camelCasing!
