So if any number divided by zero is undefined, and zero divided by any number is zero, and any number divide by itself is one, what is 0/0?

Personally I say undefined since it is equal to everything.
However, according to C# 0/0 = NaN (Yes C# does not throw a divide by 0 exception when it hits this)

In less developed countries, people incorrectly use "." as a delimiter instead of properly using a ",". Sadly, we americans must yet again lead the world in proper grammar. So when he said translate, he meant from the "lower" countries usage to the correct one.

Quite clearly the picture shows "-19999°C". All the characters have shadows, so the period would show on top of the clouds. There is also no room for the period (the numbers are tabular-width characters, so the "1" has a bit more space around it; just compare with all the other number characters in the picture).

Okay, now I get what YOUR problem is with the picture!

You think it says -1999°C. But it doesn't. The device is german, in Germany we use , instead of . (and vice versa).

So in american terms it just says -1.999°C (slightly below the freezing point of water...)


So the real WTF is posting pictures of "wrong" stuff, although you just don't get that other countries and cultures might use other conventions.

43,348,131 files each less than 4k (assuming cluster/node/segment/sector size depending on filesystem) will take 165.36GB of disk space. Apparently some of these files have 0b lengths.

A reasonably active server will produce 165GB of logs a day quite easily.

No real WTF here.

=========
Update

Just noticed the file count... Apparently someone thinks 2GB is an appropriate cluster/node/segment/sector size.

As previously mentioned by Synchronos (unregistered), there is no . no , it is part of the cloud if it was a . then it would have a shadow on it and be noticable. Secondly there are FOUR 9s so 1,9999 would make no sense (or five 9s if this is Star Trek).

Ah, good old "settings.watch.photo.create.label"... Takes me back to last summer's internship, when I was in charge of internationalizing all the text in the program. That meant, basically, swapping out "Label created photos" for "settings.watch.photo.create.label" - and then remembering to put "Label created photos" in the strings file, or "settings.watch.photo.create.label" would actually show up on the page, like Drake saw.

(The idea was that some time in the future, we'd send the strings file out for translation so users speaking foreign languages would get them in their own language. That hadn't happened before I left, though.)
