Bad (ColdFusion) Programmer Pick Up Lines

So on the way back home to Cincinnati, OH from Bloomington, IN (coming back from the BFusion conference) some coworkers and I somehow got on the subject of bad programmer pick up lines; we were talking about form (of women) and something about scope.  I really have no idea what the original conversation was, but we saw some cute girls (nice form) and said they have nice form scope (by the way, for those of you who don't know, Bloomington is a college town home of Indiana University [also home of some nice girls]).  All this got me thinking about bad programmer pick up lines.  Below are some originals and some borrowed. Feel free to comment posting any that you have heard or come up with.

Bad Programming Pick Up Lines

1. You have nice form scope.

2. Do you need a hard drive?

3. You have a nice software package.

4. Interface with me.

5. Install my hardware.

6. Can I get a free trial of your software?

7. I think you need to upgrade your software package.

8. You should really be hard coding me.

9. Your platform costs too much; you should be more open source.

10. Grant me access to your private objects.

Next Mac OS Code Name

What will the code name be for the next version of the Mac OS? Sticking with the feline theme, Lion and Cougar seem like logical choices. Lion especially seems logical since it is in the same genus (panthera) as Jaguar, Leopard, and Tiger. However, once you choose Lion can you really choose Cougar as the next name? That seems like a downgrade to me. Once Lion is chosen, I would imagine the Apple geniuses will have to move on to another species or skip that theme altogether for a more Ubuntu-like code name. Please cast your vote. If your code name is not listed, leave a comment and I will add it to the poll. Whether the next code name for the Mac OS will be Lion or not, it will assuredly reign over its Microsoft rival.
