Quantity != Quality

May the person who read this, remember that ;)
I'm not going to explain any further what i mean by this, but i'm sure there's at least one person who knows what this is about.

NOTE: Although this might be taken as a joke, this is actually serious, and intended to wake some people up.

Learn to read.

You can interpret this your own way, but i wrote it down as simple as possible.

When i say Quantity != Quality, there is no reason for you to think i mean something else.

In your case, its a good thing. In the case of some other people (even one who posted in this thread) , it isnt :P

Im not going to clarify myself. If people don't see what i mean, its generally a good thing, as long as it is not ment for them. If it's ment for them, and they dont see... oh well...

right DJ! JS is another thing from JScript.. And JS is better coz i h8 M$ (Microsoft, that's how us programmers call it)!!!
fizz, maybe not .value... quantity/quality are abstract meanings... So it would be better (for C++ anyway) to have it as quantity->value != quality->value.....
hehe, but if u were talking Java, u were right! ;)

BTW: for the topic, i agree with Aso

Ehm AsoAron, are you saying that through *your* real-life the outcome would be false?

Fizz I thought that it was used in other programming languages (or even normal math or algebra), just wasn't sure :)

While we're wearing our nerd hats in this thread... :)

JScript != Javascript. JScript is a Miscorsoft implementation of JavaScript w/ a slightly different DOM and whatnot. If you're reverring to JavaScript you should use the abbreviation JS.

hm Halendor not only in JScript, but in most higher programming languages....

well, it should be quality > quantity or rather quality.value > quantity.value

but thats only one point of view. In terms of stability, availability and errors quantity is probably worth a thought ;)

If you parse it to YOUR real life, it might.

As you put it, "pwnd"

!= is a Javascript operator, it tests if value's are NOT equal. Depending on what you set quantity and quality to, the outcome is true or false.

If you parse this through the Real Lifeā„¢ machine, the outcome will probably be true.

pwnd.
