Or, more likely, programmer dude HAS noticed this, but his dorky sense of humor tells him that it would be funny to wonder aloud to his companion what her name would be if he doesn't need anything else.
Maybe this is dorky, but isn't the following evidence that time travel is impossible:
Since no person from the future has ever come back to say hello to us, wouldn't that imply that time travel will never be invented. Or else it will be invented, but our era in history was just too damn boring for people to come back to visit...
Something like global.asa, which for you non-IIS types out there, is a file run on webserver startup, which contains all sorts of interesting information. It is a repository for most developers using IIS to put in information like database usernames and passwords, so the webserver can talk to it.
What I believe is a better solution than to leave usernames and PW in the global.asa file, is to instantiate a COM object from global.asa. Then, either put the usernames/PW in there, or have the COM object read them from somewhere like the registry. Then, even if someone gets at the global.asa file, they don't know the important stuff going on there, no matter what their intentions. If NASDAQ had done this, their information wouldn't have been exposed.

Of course, you have to realize the proof you have here is based on faulty assumption.
Of course, you have to realize I never meant it as a proof. That is one reason that I titled my comment "evidence...", not "proof...."
As several people have pointed out, my logic may have indeed been faulty. Of course, that's what evidence is there for.
I wouldn't have been so arrogant as to label what I said a "proof."
