    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.

    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.

      At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

            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?

                                    Even Kirk does not talk computers to death which he just could switch off. That's reserved for those which are inaccessible and insist to follow their buggy programs.
