Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

That's not quite the same things as considering '00' to be non-zero is it! No, but you were complaining about the arbitraryness. It has the same arbitraryness as for true/false. `C:\test>perl -e"print '00' == 0" 1` [download] So what? `$ perl -E 'say "BrowserUK" == 0' 1 $ perl -E 'say "00" eq 0' $` [download] Heh, I made the challenge, I make the rules. If you don't like the rules, don't play.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
