As with all StackOverflow Poll type Q&As, please make certain your answer is NOT listed already before adding a new answer

If it already exists, vote that one up so we see what the most popular answer is, rather than duplicating an existing entry.
If you see a duplicate, vote it down.
If you have interesting or additional information to add, use a comment or edit the original entry rather than creating a duplicate.
