  • 1 1 21 Gigawatts

    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.

      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...

            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. :)

                            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

                                      Nope, I only have one giant almost unmanageable ego.

                                        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. :)

                                        Hey Maunder - could you get someone to run a query that analyses all the CodeProject usernames and count how many are in the form "Name / xxx programmer" please? I just want to quantify John's inspiration levels. That way, we have a benchmark we can all strive for.
