You Know You're Addicted to Coding When...

You Know You're Addicted to Coding When...You have good dreams about multiple inheritance, factories, and compilers that support partial template specialization.
You laugh at movies that show programmers at work.
Every time you look at your clock, you see a power of 2 (6:40, 1:28, 2:56, 5:12, 10:24)
You're pressing CTRL+S every 5 minutes, in every application..
You end each line you type with ";", even plain english ones;
Whenever somebody asks you to do something, you try to think of a way to write a program that would help you.
You know the following sequence by heart: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768 65536 131072
When you can say with a great level of confidance that you have written more lines of code than english.
You wake up in the middle of the night with the solution to your coding problem.
You sit stuck at traffic lights and work out a more efficient algorithm for them, based on road orientation, sensor placement, time of year, time of day, weather and local sporting events, in your head.
Sunshine genuinely hurts your eyes.
You look at your old code and cringe
When someone asks you your favorite color, you give the RGB code in binary.
No one else can ever use your computer, as it is tweaked so much only you know how to use it.
The first time you use another person's computer it takes you less than 30 seconds to completely disable all useless programs from running at boot and uninstalling all the ad-ware the fools had on the system.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to coding.
