It it an interesting article. There is a "fault" of sorts with the proof (if it can be called that) that I gave. Initially, I quoted: Let x = 0.999... (recurring) Then 10x = 9.999... (recurring) The second line is actually false. 10x = 9.999.........0 as any number multiplied by 10 has a zero as its final digit. This means 10x - x = 9.999.........0 - 0.999... which is NOT 9. If 9x <> 9, then x <> 1. Of course, there is an infinite number of 9's after the decimal point and before that problematic zero so I guess I have a problem with infinity (and beyond!). :wtf:

Do parallel lines ever meet? No, but as you look at them from a distance as they appear to converge then the greater the distance the smaller the "care factor". Thoughts of infinity reminded me of the following mathematical problem: Let x = 0.999999... (recurring) Then 10x = 9.999999... (recurring) Then 10x - x = 9.999999... - 0.999999... So 9x = 9 So x = 1 which contradicts the first statement. :wtf:

How about the ability to partially set array values. For example, for an int array of length 10 with default values of 0..9 respectively, the following would be valid:

myArray[3..5] = (-3, -4, -5);

The contents would then be: 0, 1, 2, -3, -4, -5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Another idea is a composite Label (say Strings and Images). The display of CompositeLabel.Text would display a String followed by an Image then we could have things (using my mythical System.Text.SmileyFace namespace) like . . .

myCompositeLabel.Text = "Hello, World " + System.Text.SmileyFace.BigGrin.ToImage();

The display would then be: Hello, World :-D Anthony
