Yes, but only after they have decompiled.

I have a service on my development machine that pings my brain once a minute. If five minutes goes by without a response, it e-mails the cafeteria with a coffee order. If my brain fails to reply within an hour, I'm automatically declared dead and the GC thread runs.

Programmer's don't die, they just throw a fatal exception.

Yes, but most of those were posting badly in the programming forums, so they don't really count. ;P

That assumes that programmers have the same death rate as the entire population which has to be wrong for many reasons.

Thank you, thank you, you're all wonderful! Try the veal, it's to die for...

After the 'execution' is over, they'll go off the memory and the page. :((

On the brighter side, at least they have the internet and CP access. :)

C programmers don't die, they are just cast into void.

Cheers, Vikram. (Cracked not one CCC, but two!)

14 kbps dial-up only. It's hell, remember? :-D

You cannot break statistics down like that. I, for example, have a 99% chance of NOT making 40. And, to make things worse, I have less than 50% chance of making it another year, thanks to the big C. I am already cheating the big fellow with the scythe. Think about it: for males, from (for example) 16 to 25, it probably is more like ~15 / 1000. The same is true as we get older. So, most people here are in the prime of their life. I'd say: more like 5 / 1000 here. Or even less. However, if I don't show up for a few months, you're invited to ask for my current state.

A programmers death is as allusive as a session expiring. :omg:

no 150 baud acoustic coupler, and they have to whistle the handshake with their mouth full of marbles to connect.

The latest nation. Procrastination.

Nope pal: the brighter side is the one the flames come from... :-D
