in thread zero to the power zero

If you interpret 0*ln(0) as a limit of x*ln(x) as x tends to 0, then L'Hôpital's rule can be used to infer what this limit is (if it exists):
Lim x ln(x) = Lim 1/(1/x) ln(x) x->0 x->0 = Lim 1/(-1/x^2) (1/x) x->0 = Lim -x = 0 x->0
Thus, since the limit exists, the limit of x*ln(x) as x approaches 0 is 0.
