I went yesterday 
The expo is reasonably interesting, but I went for the key-note addresses. Jeremy Paxman spoke eloquently on the dangerous trend of the individual over society, Martin Sorrell gave some interesting insights into what the world of marketing is seeing, Stella Rimington spoke about managing spies, Sara Murray had a lot to say about the different mindsets needed for the entrepreneur, Bob Geldof pleaded with us to put education first as the destroyer of poverty, Ronan Dunne made the case for the mobile world and Satya Nadella was totally insipid with his mind numbing inability to connect.

Would you say that it was a day well spent? I was hoping to go to the events after lunch.

Based on what I got out of it [two small packs of Gummi Bears and a rather nice, but obviously cheap pen] I would say go.

Gummi Bears?
I'll give it a miss.
Now, if it had been Haribo Sour Mix...

1/5th of CP's population do not 'inhale' caffeine! Based on local research - our office runs on coffee!

Not exactly. But I think that we should ask (maybe an other survey) WHAT they use instead of coffee!

If those were using tea, that should be reflected in the votes - it's about caffeine not coffee! and tea too have caffeine in it...

Just realized ... Sorry.
Well, there are people in our company who take Bournvita, Horlicks, Badam mix (almond powder mix), etc.

Using tea is like using decaff. Main "poison" of the tea is tein. Assuming you drink "real" tea (black or green). Herbal teas are different.
Maybe the question was supposed to be "What stimulant are you using?"
|
|

|

There is no difference (except the origin) between caffeine and tein! It's only names...

Not quite, at least as I understand it. This the same class of chemicals, but not the same molecule. Same goes for coccoa variant (theobromine)
"Theobromine is the active ingredient in Chocolate and it occurs only in Cacao. The two stimulants are related and have a similar structures, but are very different chemicals with different properties, effects and origins. There are of course, some Chocolate products that have added caffeine, but it does not occur naturally in Chocolate."

There is no such thing 'tein' (or teine or teain or teaine) in chemistry...The word created to point out - the then unknown - difference between how tea and coffee influence people...(coffee has only caffeine where tea has also some theobromine)...

That's a different question altogether!
And you'd probably need a much wider range of answers, legal and illegal.

They are the lucky ones.
Beer must be allowed at their work places.

Well, Beer would be an option, but sadly even in Germany that's not allowed :/
But i know a coder who is drinking cacao instead of coffee.
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

This is not totally correct.
In Bavaria beer is considered an article of basic need. So it is allowed to be sold, the same as food or so in automats. I have seen many companies with beer in the drink machines.
Another question is responsible drinking and if this is ethic or not. But allowed, it is
We always have a box of beer somewhere in the kitchen and some cold ones in the fridge. But we usually drink it at the end of the day, having a chat or playing some darts (we built a bull as well )
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yup, in bavaria (which is not Germany anyomore, if you listen to bavarians) they are allowed to drink beer, but it's not the case everywhere in bavaria, they are slightly trying to throw that away.
Anyways, having a good ol "Feierabendbier" is still one of the best beers 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

{
