    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.
