    ...or... ...you find yourself iscussing template metaprogramming in the bar. :doh: (just coming back up from ACCU 2010, culminating in a session on "Abusive C++" which demonstrated way too many fiendishly bad but entertaining ideas. Long blog post to follow once I've caught up on the editing)

    The only way I think I would do template metaprogramming :rolleyes: is after a few stiff drinks.

      Me too. I'll stick to algorithms and concurrency, thank you. :)

                  Oh jeez, I had to put up with that for 3 months when I moved into a new place 100 miles from my mum. You know you're a geek when you have a freephone tech support number just for your family to call you with tech problems. Or you set up a free cellphone calling group for the same purpose. I've done both. FML. :-| codegecko

                                      No this only applies if you both stare at your feet.  If any eye contact was made, then you still lose your geek cred.
