in an average day I typed hundred of parentheses and hardly ever need to type “99″ or “00″

Voxar’s code conventions for naming just asserted on a null pointer.

The problem for me would be that I can only customise at home (not work, heaven forbid) so I actually strive to keep home as close to work as possible. The thing that irritates me the most is that my mouse at work doesn't have a wheel in it! I was amazed to discover how much I use that wheel/button when I didn't have it.
