    Does this mean we'll be trending towards unemployed developers now? Sorry, I know I shouldn't have. But as it is unlikely that JSOP will have trouble finding employment, I figured I could. ;P //L

      Has anyone else noticed a new trend in UserID names here? There are a number of individuals using the format "Name / xxx programmer". I truly inspire greatness. :)

                      How about "1.21 Gigawatts / Power Programmer"?

                                      Has anyone else noticed a new trend in UserID names here? There are a number of individuals using the format "Name / xxx programmer". I truly inspire greatness. :)

                                          You are indeed an inspiration and a model for all new developers. I myself was thinking about changing my name to one of: 1.21 Gigawatts / Static Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Shock Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Isolated Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Don't touch this Programmer But can't make up my mind... :)

                                          How about: 1.21 Gigawatts is what those multi-core processors dissipate nowadays / can't those manufacturers come up with more economical hardware, or do we need to fix our software? :)

                                          I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.
                                          All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.
