    I'd like to recommend some new variable namig standards. For this tutorial I'll use an example pulled from one of my recent projects. intValReCoRDCouNT1rjt 1: The first 3 letters are the type. 2: The second 3 letters are if it's a reference or value type. 3: The third set of letters - all capital letters (except for vowels) - is the name. 4: The numeric digit is what I usually vote on all of Dalek Dave's posts. 5: My initials (so we know what programmer made the variable). The great thing about these variable names is that they also work well as passwords. I call it Code Project Notation.

      That reminds me of something: Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who gets seven. The second card is turned up, except on Tuesdays. Two jacks are a "half-fizzbin". If you have a half-fizzbin: a third jack is a "shralk" and results in disqualification; one wants a king and a deuce, except at night, when one wants a queen and a four; if a king had been dealt, the player would get another card, except when it is dark, in which case he'd have to give it back. The top hand is a "royal fizzbin", but the odds against getting one are said to be "astronomical".

      At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

        Add 6. The numeric digit what you feel Dalek Dave usually votes for your posts.

            You forgot a special character if you want passwords. Most of them wouldn't work though. _ is about it, i think.

              Sure. I usually solve problems by wrapping them up in a warp field and keeping the antimatter contained. I only wish I had Kirk's ability to talk computers to death.

                    Let's reduce it to the two digit year to save space. After all, including the century digits is redundant. :-D

                            I'd like to add a prefix m_ for member variables: m_intValReCoRDCouNT1rjt to add a bit more security we should make the naming longer - one never knows, the name might already been taken.

                                      I can go with 1, 2, 4, and five - silly, but I can imagine a tortured, past-plagued mind coming up with perfectly fine reasons. I'm curious, though, what's the motivation behind the casing rule of 3. They didn't want to shell out for an obfuscator?

                                        Sure. I usually solve problems by wrapping them up in a warp field and keeping the antimatter contained. I only wish I had Kirk's ability to talk computers to death.

                                        At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

                                        But...wouldn't reversing the polarity be easier?

                                          Let's reduce it to the two digit year to save space. That's what they said before they knew better...

                                          I'll be dead long before it's a problem. Which is my way of saying it isn't my problem. That is also a great way to view the environment (1). NOTES ---------------------------------------------- 1: Please don't tell Lucy Lawless that I wrote that.
