You know you've been hacking too long when...	Computing	You know you've been hacking too long when The set-up line for a genre of one-liners told by hackers about themselves. These include the following: * not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your network address faster than your postal one. * your SO kisses you on the neck and the first thing you think is "Uh, oh, priority interrupt." * you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing it in octal. * your computers have a higher street value than your car. * in your universe, `round numbers' are powers of 2, not 10. * more than once, you have woken up recalling a dream in some programming language. * you realize you have never seen half of your best friends.

The ringer was balancing one's checkbook in octal, which I made up out of whole cloth.
