    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. :)

            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.

                        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

                              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... :)

                                  Actually, it's the other way around. Power is measured in Watts (Joules/second). Energy is measured in Watt-hours, kWh, or Joules, where a Watt-hour is 3600 Joules. Unfortunately, a lot of people use the term "power" to refer to energy, leading to confusion. You don't buy power from the electric company, you pay for the energy.
