Just a thought - many of us do this to pay for food and shelter for ourselves and families. Messing with someone's code (and the possibility of very bad consequences to their career) seems like a rather ill-conceived method for getting a giggle.
Most of me never wants to grow up - I've been rather successful at it, BUT when your holding that first baby appears, your world view has to and will change a great deal.

Code base? Surely, the only base they have is sauce base???

Following my earlier post about quantum entanglement, I thought I'd post about one of my favourite physics books here in Pete's Book Of The Whatever[^].
If you've ever wondered what theoretical physics would be like if explained by Douglas Adams, I can heartily recommend The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time and Beyond eBook: Christophe Galfard[^]. I didn't find this a quick book to read, not because it was dense or inaccessible; rather I found it took time because the author would present something of such breathtaking and shattering profoundness that I would have to go away and ponder it for a while because it challenged my view of things I thought I already knew. Then, just when you thought you'd got your head round that, he'd go and do the same again. I mean, I had never really appreciated what, fundamentally, magnetism is until I read this; I realised afterwards, just how shallow my A level physics really was. I really do wish I'd gone on to do the degree I really wanted to do, astrophysics.

Well...there is teh old joke:
Which of the following is the most different from the others, and why?
A) A Ph.D. in Mathematical Biology
B) A Ph.D. in Astrophysics
C) A Ph.D. in Statistics
D) A large pepperoni pizza.
Answer: B - the others can each feed a family of four.

I just fired up Skype and I got a message to confirm my identity due to suspicious activity; logging on from Forn Parts.
Okay, great, well done, etc. I've been using Skype for a week here already...

You should have told them the truth . . . that Europe doesn't really matter. They get attention not unsimilar to patting a canine on the head and saying "what a good doggy!".

I never learned to type properly (and with intellisense it doesn't matter) and still sometimes look at the keys when typing. Doing a little experiment here... I just blanked out the letters on mine. I hope I can get some code to compile!
p.s. sligtly bored atm

I sometimes like to freak the minions out by having a conversation with them while they are off to one side - I'll be looking at them and typing at the same time. Of course, it helps that I learned to type years ago. Mind you, if I'm given an unfamiliar keyboard (maybe the keys are slightly closer together), this throws me off for a little while until I'm used to it. I have just typed this entire message while looking out of the window.

Yeah, the difference in key spacing between the keyboard on my desk and laptop sometimes throws me off.

I'm pretty much okay with touch typing, except with a lappie I'm often looking at the keyboard when I look at the screen. When I was desk bound, I rarely looked at the keys as I typed.
When I first started work, our office was next to the typing pool and the girls gave me lessons; I got as far as the breast stroke before HR put a stop to it.
