    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 / Power Programmer"?

                                      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.

                                          I'd say you'd be more honest going the route of Jim Crafton / TiVo Programmer ;P //L
