    Personally I hate NULL and all the hassles it causes.

    I was bummed when I saw it was a joke LOL

    Good 'un, Steve. I wonder how many folks tried to Topeka this notion.

    I thought the Linux one was old, though perhaps it may be recycled in the future. 😉

    I think that the NULL / NIL would be interesting...

    For a second there, I was horrified.

    I was sitting at work a minute ago thinking, great, no one has gotten me this April Fool's. Then I read your editorial. Nice job! 😀

    OK, you got me too. I had even pulled a great one on one of my customers. It, unfortunately, sounded like something Microsoft would do (to us).:w00t:

    I'm a sucker. I'm sitting here thinking about implications, wanting to take notes, getting ready to post questions to boards... I gotta remember the date when I read these things.

    Why memorize dates when you only need to look it up?

    Ah Steve,

    You had to spoil the joke with a disclaimer.

    Of course, this is also an April Fool's joke and is in no way based on reality. It's entirely a work of fiction, and I hope you have a smile on your face at this point.

    The joke would've been more effective without.

    Wait for a day or two to reveal the joke. That would have been classic fun too.
