Default 2x2=5


2x2=5 for small values of five and large values of two. Has been a
known feature for a long time.

No

D=C

D=B (Ray is Love) is about all that could be inferred.


Invalid, for if accepted, then:

A=B
D-B
Therefore D=A

Which you denied.

As I noted (in the clipped content) Ray Charles can't be God, just the
other 13 people...unless you consider Eric Clapton.

Hah!


Now were on the same tongue-in-cheek page (when discussing and deviating
from posts on multiplication to a Win7 group).

ELP would be a good choice since the did pen the creation sounding 'From
the Beginning'. Iirc, it was released on the 'Trilogy' album.

1971 - $4 per ticket - Eastown Theatre, Detroit MI - old converted movie
theatre, all seats removed to fit more people in (legal capacity ~1700,
actual for popular groups about 2900). Iirc 6 or 7 songs (Pictures at
and Exhibtion and Tarkus more than half of the entire show), 2 Encore,
well less than 90 minutes total.

Just think what type of music expression ELP could have done with Win7
era computer technology (There! Now it meets a near plausible relation
to this newsgroup)

Never heard them live, did watch/listen to TV specials, have most of
their stuff on vinyl. Occasionally shook the house playing them LOUD, as
God intended.


Echoing Nigel Tufnel....It's always good to have the option to be able
to turn the volume up to 11.

You have not shown By what logic you can replace "4=" with "2x2="!

Nope. Let me explain why:


4x(5-5) = 0
5x(5-5) = 0

therefore 4x(5-5) = 5x(5-5)

Now what you want to do is say 4 = 5x(5-5) / (5-5) and therefore 4=5

But you can't do that! That's dividing by zero (5-5) and that's a
violation of the eleventh commandment--thou shalt not divide by zero.



besides, 2x2 = 100

You have to provide *proof" for your claim!

10 x 10 = 100.
Both in binary and in decimal.

And more to the point, choro performed the forbidden operation of
dividing by zero. It's forbidden precisely because it leads to
nonsensical results.

Someone want to tell me what this has to do with Windows 7?

Nice try, but no. If you don't state the number base, you have to
use the same base on both sides of the equation.

Base 2: 10*10 = 100
Base 3: 2*2 = 11
Base 4: 2*2 = 10
Any higher base: 2*2 = 4
