The point is not to hardcode something somewhere. If you wish to use globals, go right ahead. I'm not trying to stop you. Just like you use enapsulation in OO for setters and getters for the flexibility of doing things during sets or gets, it's the same for singletons. It allows you to break the mold. Saying singleton's are useless is like saying sed is useless. If it were useless, people wouldn't use it.

Just for a moment.. It will burn through the clouds.. and shine down on me.
