According to my Perl script, today I am 15,000 days old. And I don't think I look a minute over 10,000!!!
Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Good grief! I'd better get on the stick, I'm only averaging 0.615!

Oh. Well, what's in a reciprocal?
On the other hand, that means I'm at 1.6... just try and catch up sonny-boy!
P.S. And just goes to show.... smart tools + dumb operator =

This seems like someplace where being younger is an advantage. And Bear still beat me by quite a bit!

Jeanne, you are reinforcing the belief that girls don't disclose their birthday.
... Just kidding
PS : but still anybody can find value of X by simple maths.

I gave the year. I'm 28 years old. It's the age girls don't like to disclose.

Not to the day - the 1.4 includes rounding. Which is what I'm concerned about - id theft is made easier if you know someone's actual birthdate.

Good point. I added some rounding errors myself.

Oh, that means your "actual" birthday was available between the time of post and the edit.
I missed that time frame

No, that's not ID theft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_theft

Thanks, that's a big issue, I never though t of such things, like publicaly disclosing you birth date, addres can leads you to the Id theft.
And one can have a good software project idea like verifying the documents just to avoid id theft, isn't it ?

It was only a minute or two. I realized the concern right when I pressed send.
