[quoteost_uid0="MaverickZer0"][color=#000000ost_uid0]Need proof? Apparently, 8=6. 8+6=6. Any questions?[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]That reminds me of a language I used to program in called Smalltalk. Everything in the language was an object and could be assigned new values, including numbers. You could really hose your system if you did something like:
[code:1ost_uid0]8 <- 6[/code:1ost_uid0]
So 8+6=12, 82=36, log8 216 = 3. The only way to reinitialize 8 to the correct value was to say 8 <- 12-4 or something like that. If you hosed your system too much, you had to reinstall and start over from the beginning.[/colorost_uid0]
