YuviSense: Codin Kid

No Joke. I got this during a boring Morning before Second Revision English II Exams. So, I’ve got proof that 2+2 = 0. After trying to find a mistake in this for some 2 hours yesterday night, I’m posting this here. I’m probably wrong, but I can’t find out where I am wrong. So, here we go :

So, this is for a specific case. It can be easily Generalized into a generic form :

x + x = 0

Also, from this, you get :
x = -x

Well, the proof also gives a really interesting Corrollary : Every Number is Equal to any other Number!

So, any Number is equal to any other Number! Cool, isn’t it ? It also has quite nice implications. Like, I owe someone Rs. 1000. Since, according to the proof, I take x = Rs. 1000 and y = Rs. 1. So, since x = y, I can just pay Rs. 1, since It is equal to Rs. 1000! And, if someone owes me Rs. 1, I can just invert the process, and get Rs. 1000, while ofcourse it can backfire and they can pay me Rs.(-)1000, since obviously, Rs.(-)1000 = Rs. 1000 = Rs. 1.

Well, heard of the word Paradox ? I’m feeling it….

Well, it’s got more : All Fractions and Divisons equal 1, since the Numerator and the Denominator will be equal! And, they will also equal any number, without constraint, since 1 can be equal to any number!

Man, Maths will be sooooooooooooo much Easier : I can give any value as answer to any questions, and it will be correct! You’ll get 100 out of 100 every time! But wait, 100 out of 100 might as well be equal to 0 out of 100, because 0 = 100. Paradox:D

So, where am I wrong ? What part of the proof is wrong ? I sincerely really Don’t know, so you’ve really gotta help me find the fault with this…..

If you’re Still with me after this long post, I want your comments…

I did this quite some time ago, but the thought of Posting this here came only today….Well, Sudar knows of some funny spam. Well, after I read that post originally on November 2005, I decided to read some of the Spam in my Yahoo Spam Box and see what’s there. So, first up, I came across this :

Well, a typical, classical African Spam. So, instead of just keeping it in my Spam Box, I just decided to give my feedback to the spammer :

Hi Dr. Patrick Allain, I think I am good enough to
detect a Phishing attack like this. Spelling Mistakes,
Wrong Capitalization and a great eye for Details mark
a really good spammer. And, I saw all these here :
You got the name of a Plane which Crashed, saw the list of
the passengers who died, found the name of the man whose
Country couldn't be determined, Harvested my eMail
from somewher(probably my Blog), and sent me this
Mail...

Kudos to you man, but I'm not falling for this...

On the Other Hand, I do have respect for your
abilities, and I think you could put them to good use

And, I actually got a reply for this from that spammer! :

thank you alot mr yuri.well i do not have much to write
since you are convience inside you that it is a game.
thats ok .but for accepting me as a friend,i appreciate it
and will keep intouch with you.

kwame jacobs

Not to be outdone, I replied to this as well :

More spelling mistakes.. Dude, you've gotta get a
Spell Checker if you wanna convince people that you're
serious:P

Well, maybe that guy’s abandoned that email ID, but I’m still to get a Reply for this….

Spam is so much fun, isn’t it ?:D

Well, CSC is one of those Computer shops that turn out masses of semi-programmers who strive hard to contribute much to the DailyWTF. Yes, there’ll be a Gem hidden somewhere from there, but it mostly turns out the kind of people who write the code that comes up in the DailyWTF. So, why am I writing about them now ?Well, last Tuesday, we had a game of Cricket, and after that, one of my friends, Bala, had fallen prey to hype, and thought that the only way he could survive his life is to learn Java. So, a CSC Scholarship exam was to be held on Wednesday, and he wanted about 6 of us to come with him for the exam, since we were atleast partially interested in that.

So, we went there. Pleasant place. But, something was a bit ominous though. No computers on the outside. But, lots of posters. And, point was, Posters with Spelling Mistakes. Like, this one:

Scholarships available on First come, First Served Basic

Well, not just that. There was another full colour, Professionaly done, A3 Poster proudly saying :

To Get a Job, you don’t have to be an expert in Technology. You have to answer Question in Interview Properly to get Job.

Well, that blew it, and I’d know that an Institution with such a stupid marketing won’t be fit. And, after I saw the PII Machines with 14″ Microtek Monitors, I knew they weren’t going to use Eclipse or IntelliJ or anything else modern, and are going to stick with stupid EDIT and the command line. So, I quit. I advised my friend to Quit, but he was convinced that the only way for him to survive is to learn Java.

Well, let’s watch this Experiment unfold….

Well, watching Lollu Sabha on Vijay TV. Laughing my a** off. I mean, man, this is a program. A real watchable one. Not like that unwatchable one. The Chandramukhi edition is just plain awesome. Those guys behind that have got some real creative stuff. I mean, It was really great when Sandhanam was doing it, but then he left, and the quality went down a little, and now a new guy’s come in, and things are going up in quality again. If you know Tamil, you should watch them…
