[da_silvy]

do a search mate

there's a 300 page debate about this

don't bring it up again

[Ambivalentiowa]

Actually, its only 4 pages which is categorically NOT 300.

[da_silvy]

so..?

there's a big debate on it and there are others, so it probably all adds up to 300

there was quite a few before server move as wel..

[Ambivalentiowa]

Maybe so, but i don't think it was exactly 300 pages.

I think da_silvy was rounding up to the nearest 300

[Gandalf_Grey_]

it is infinity cause X/0 = infinity

True, true, with one qualification:

Hmmm, the problem can be stated:
Break up zero into zero equal parts.

So, you get an Infinite number of parts, each zero in size.

If you ask me, thats a whole lot of nothing!

I think 0/0 should be 0. If you have nothing and give it between no people, there is nothing left. Or am i just drunk?
