If 1 = 0, then 1 - 1 = 0 - 1, which means -1 = 0. Contradiction, so 1 = 0 can't be true.

This is a code site so I wanted to prove this with C# and it fell apart for me.

[TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            //x = y
            //Assuming y = 5.
            var y = 5;

            var x = y;

            //Then x2 = xy
            Assert.AreEqual(x * 2, x * y); //Assert.AreEqual failed. Expected:<10>. Actual:<25>.
        }

Sorry, that doesn't work.

x2 is NOT equal to xy. That's like saying 2x = x*y which is ONLY true if x and y are both 2.

Cute, but does not float.

Why do so many people here fail to grasp the obvious, that "x2" is meant to represent x squared? It's almost as if the CP community isn't very high quality.

Well, the first problem with this is

x = y
then x2 = xy IFF x = y = 2

This was stated just above, but I didn't get that far when I was reading the comments...

Seeing you're playing with polynomials there, aren't you?
following the logics..
x = y
x^2 = xy
x^2-y^2 = xy-y^2
(x-y)(x+y) = (x-y)y
x+y = y
2y = y
however you draw the wrong conclusion here, go on like this:
2y-y = y-y
y = 0

You can't divide any number with 0. (x-y=0)
Divide by 0 is infinity, and infinity can't be equated.

x-y=0. You are dividing by 0. Therefore your theorem falls apart at that point.

Nice try.

This is VERY wrong, I guess?

Now, we've lost those computers with all of the 13th century in them. Not much in the century, just Dante and a few corrupt Popes, but it's so distracting and annoying!

Which movie?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I noticed this morning that my i7 laptop was emitting a loud fan noise like it was working on something.
I ignored it and went to work.

Now, returning home I noticed that the fan was still screaming so I looked at TaskManager and Android studio was eating 25% of total processor power. Ugh! WTF | :WTF:

All day long, even though the laptop was closed and idle it was exercising the processor doing nothing.

IDE -- integrated dev environments. blech! Dead | X|

Your lucky, try having it take 70%-90% cpu power and 60%-70% RAM.

IDE's aren't all bad, Visual Studio and Xcode are quite good actually. Android Studio is not any better or worse than Eclipse IMHO.
