    oh my.

    When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

      just don't let Sander catch you writing leading underscores in your method names. :-D

              my hubby used to work helldesk in college and he said he kept a paperclip around for rebooting the imacs and an icepick around for rebooting their users.

                        You have my blessings on the underscore :D But why is there a comment that just puts the two words of the function name in a different order? :~ Why not change the function name to _Terminate_Users (or TerminateUsers if you want to do it right ;) ) so it's slightly more readable and ditch the comment?

                          I find the comment more problematic.

                            I do similar. Private members have leading underscores in my code. I was just yanking Sander's chain.

                              see, I used to care about that stuff. now it's (re other people's code) a) does the code do what it's supposed to? b) can i read it? i guess i've gotten good at b because i'm fine with just about whatever.

                                      There's no such thing as a "line of code" in C-style languages.

                                        We once created an object factory whose core function was named GOD - General Object Dispenser.

                                          You have my blessings on the underscore :D But why is there a comment that just puts the two words of the function name in a different order? :~ Why not change the function name to _Terminate_Users (or TerminateUsers if you want to do it right ;) ) so it's slightly more readable and ditch the comment?

                                          That was last month. The coding standard of this month says that functions should be named __. The argument for that is that in a sorted list of function names, you get all the actions on one object class gathered together. I have no information wha will be the right way to format code next month, or what the arguments will be, but I am really happy that modern IDEs have support for coding style changes. For newlines, indents and spacing it can be fully automated. Changing naming standards usually require some more manual work, but compared to the old days where you had to manually search for every occurence of a symbol to change it to the standard of the month required a lot more work.
