      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. :)

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... :)

                                  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.

                                    Here is another one - 1.21 Gigawatts / Pirate Programmer...

                                    Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
                                    Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

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

                                        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.

                                          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. :)

                                          Now you are even thinking like a VB programmer... it should be "Name / < T > programmer" :-D
