That's the last non-initial-cap word I found from him.
Oh, I lost it now, but he accidentally capitalized the last letter of a word once, too. And acronyoms are correct. Weird.




So you went through 2 years and over 500 posts in enough detail to find that info.

Son, we need to talk about how much time you have on your hands. Maybe we (CEG) can get you a girlfriend or sup'm.

I'm all for a thorough job & all, but let's focus that energy on more critical tasks.


Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Haha - I did a binary search, which only took about two minutes, and required reading maybe 6 posts. There are real-world advantages to being a computer engineer.

EDIT: for those that don't know, a binary search is a great way to find an item in an ordered list. If you've ever played the game where someone picks a number and you try to guess it, getting "higher" and "lower" after each guess, you might know that a binary search is the fastest way to win.

Example:

50
"higher"
75
"lower"
63 (actually 62.5, but you have to round)
"lower"
57
"lower"
54
"higher"
55
"higher"
56

You'll see now that that MUST be it, because it's higher than 55 and lower than 57. This is also the worst case: you never got lucky and guessed it, you got to it by "brute force". If you're searching through N things, a binary search will find it in log base 2 of N, round up. That was 7 for 100 (the guessing game), and for 500 (number of posts), it was 9. Obviously this makes a lot of sense as N gets large: it's only 20 for N=one million!
