1) there was an article around here recently trying to link slight levels of autism and programmers, would you consider yourself slightly autistic?
2) do like steak or chicken? (or lettuce, I guess)
3) Do you think the attention you generate is just plain silly?
4) Can I have one of your Farraris?
On a more serious note (and I hope you see this) I get the impression that you simply love to program. So much so that you go out of your way to aid the programming community, and other various areas (such as the open sourced video driver changes).
Yes my post wasn't in the same scientific vein as the original message, but it wasn't exactly off topic either. Star Wars may be silliness, but so is cloning sheep in my opinion. Perhaps humor is always 'off topic'...and BTW I know it was 'miticlorians' or whatever in TPM. That was part of the joke. Sheesh, at least *some* people followed along.:p
