TheGreatAndPowerfulOz but I always learned that 1/3 is 0.3333... not 0.9999

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Apparently we both can't read.

Don't include me in your club. OMG | :OMG:

I read it fine. I was making a subtle joke, apparently too subtle. Wink | ;)

I think he was referring to the Donald?

That'd be fake math, wouldn't it?

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Bigly

In that case, your math wasn't much better...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Octal. It must be octal. Smile | :)

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I ran the code in LINQPad ( LINQPad - The .NET Programmer's Playground[^] ) and it saved me from thinking at all.

I just looked at the output.
Laugh | :laugh:

0.9999999999999999999999999999

Otherwise I was thinking it was supposed to be 0.3333 also. Blush | :O

Intellisense is the only sense I have. Laugh | :laugh:

Edit
Also, I tried this in Win10 Calculator and it told me that
1 / 3 = 0
I believe calculator, whatever it says. Laugh | :laugh:

Oops, then I noticed it was set to Programmer mode. hahahaa Laugh | :laugh:

Nothing strange about that, I can confirm that 1 / 3 = 0, even my calculator agrees (well it had better agree with me)

Yes, but have you checked for all divisor values larger than 1?
Please do so and report back. Big Grin | :-D

That's a lot of work to do myself, but my calculator can do that

So the full readout was 1 / 3 = 0, and will continue to do so until you give me bacon.

You just need a calculator with a bigger screen.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

SSN is a required field. Sniff | :^)

"Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast. For it is a human number. Its number is a social security one".

Nah, doesn't work.

"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
"Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst
"I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

Not surprising. When SSN's were first issued that's what people believed - that it was the mark of the beast.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I'm sure that you get to see the taxman only after sundown, ecause bloodsuckers rest in their coffins at daytime. Invoking the devil himself may go a little to far.

A fascinating number, our 666. One of its tricks is that it is the sum of the lowest 6 Roman numerals, arranged in descending order. DCLXVI.

Immanentize the Eschaton!

Want to hear something even more fascinating about that number? To start, IIRC, the original King James translation of the book of Revelations describes the mark of the beast as a number calculable by man.

Now, take the English language and assign a number to each letter in ascending order (e.g. A=1,B=2, etc...)

With that we add up all the letters in the word COMPUTER. (english is completely valid in this argument as it is the natural language of it's inventors in this context)

COMPUTER adds up to 111. What do you get by multiplying 111 x 6?

Where am I going with this? For years certain groups have been pushing to make all financial transactions require an embedded computer chip accessible via RFID or other wireless technologies. Basicaly, you'd have to be micro-chipped to buy anything.

Back to the King James version, it states that mark of the beast would be located on the forehead or hand and that people would not be able to buy food or other goods without it. Think about it, where would be the best place to implant a chip for day-to-day transactions? Wave your hand over a scanner and presto, you've paid. Makes you think, huh?
