Apparently computer programmers see it as

1+1+1+1+11+1+1+1+11+1*0+1 = 30

the zero is just there as a distraction

The answer is 30

No one likes or understands computer programmers anyways.

Except when you're dependent on them to provide the latest code that drives the controller for your next industrial machine.

Or the code that keeps your AC or Heating Running the lights on in your building or the power on in your part of the country.

Shoot the water pressure in your hotel strong enough to take a shower or flush the toliet

Youi would be surprised the amount of programmable controllers there are on the market keeping your day to day stuff easy.

Or the code that will either spit out money for you at ATM or decide to keep your card since you unable to enter the right PIN number after certain amount of attempt.

Or the ATM decided that they dont' like you regardless and holding it for ransom.

Sidenote, it was programmers that made the apocalypse of 2000 avoidable :ph34r:

I totally get the sarcasm, I'm in IT in a school system which means doubly underpaid. I don't oh yeah! about it because some of my fellow school IT peeps have it much worse and teachers would throw a fit if they knew what I got paid but the stress is crazy and not worth it. And yes, working in a closet to keep YouTube running smoothly and it always works so they figure WTF do we need the IT staff for, f$/& 'em!

On another note, I ditched the iPhone and picked up a Droid Turbo 64GB. The first couple days were painful, I made the home screens 'kinda laid out like the iPhone icon arrangement (not because it was great but simply for my sanity finding stuff). Now after a few days of figuring and customizing, holy crap, I can customize this thing, wow! Thanks for turning me on the the Droid Turbo guys, it's great so far.

Time to rant... Not sure how many of you guys here watch Top Gear, but if you do I'm sure you've heard what's going on. If not, here's a link to get you started.

I find it ironic that Jeremy has come under so much fire from BBC about his off-color humor, so much they threatened to fire him. The irony (to me) is that IMO, that's what makes that show what it is. I don't watch that for a dose of reality, I watch cuz it's funny and I love cars. Without his humor, it's just another stupid car show. I'm completely SICK of the PC BS in the world today. Bunch of thin-skinned pansies that can't take a joke. Even if it isn't a joke, man up and get over it. That's one of the things I like about this forum; diplomacy and PC goes right out the window.

Just for the record, I'm not a Hollywood moviestar follower at all, I probably couldn't care less what's going on over there. But I am sick of all the PC, bunch of whiney azz DB's that need to get over themselves.
