    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.

      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

                    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... :)

                      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

                        Probably yes, to be a programmer is a stressful thing.

                                  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.

                                      Probably yes, to be a programmer is a stressful thing.

                                        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. :)
