I assume that the joke "There are 10 types of people in the world..." is also a programming joke, at least I use it :)

My favorite variation on that joke is, "There are 10 types of people in the world - those who know binary, those who don't, and those who didn't realize this is actually a ternary joke." :) (Thanks for the reminder)

=( I use that joke all the time. The kids out of college hadn't heard it yet, and I'm amazed at how many grizzled veterans haven't.
