Aparently the author thinks there are people so dedicated to their... "craft"... that they'll undertake the blindingly difficult task of learning to fake a sneeze, just to garner a knee-jerk response.

* You use the ISO date format in email conversations with friends ("Let's meet on 2004-11-02"). * You think of malformed HTML when you discover a "<" character on the milk carton. * You believe your memory works like a computer, and you often make references to this ("I had her phone number in my short term memory but it got deleted"). * You don't know the name of your new colleague, even though she's been working in the same office for a month (you do know details of the latest Java release, though). * Whenever you spill coffee you want to hit Ctrl+Z. * You think of character encoding issues when you write on paper. * You start counting at 0 instead of 1. * You avoid redundancy when you talk but you enjoy the confusion caused by triple negation. * You won't say "bless you" when someone sneezes – "don't feed the trolls!" * You feel IRC is the perfect place to spend Valentines. * You think FrontPage and WYSIWYG are for sissies. * You had a blog before the word was invented. * You think the vi editor is actually usable. And the number one sign you are a programming geek: * You think programming jokes are funny.

This signature was created by "Code Project Quoter".I can relate to almost every one of those, except... Kant wrote: You think of character encoding issues when you write on paper. Geeks don't write on...what did you call it...paper. White boards, maybe, but not paper. Kant wrote: You think the vi editor is actually usable. It[^] is usable! I do much of my coding with vim and a handful of custom vim scripts! :) Thanks for the insightful confirmation :) This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

What do you mean "You think the vi editor is actually usable" I thought it was. Is there something better out there? Wow something better than vi I shutter at the thought what more could you want? ;P

It drives me crazy when my cousin starts telling me about the latest technology and how it works just because he is the "computer manager" at best buy.....ok I have now proved my geekness ;P
There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We shouldn't assume something's debugged just because everyone in the whole world has access to the source code.
