This person is absolutely correct. In the field of mathematics, the largest negative integer is -1. Therefore 1 - (-1) would indeed be 2.

A gentle puzzle I was just asked. -
Personal monetary reservesMy wife and I keep a reserve of about $150K. We also have several other accounts we could tap into if we needed, IRAs, an annuity account, CDs that we'd lose money to taxes if we tapped into them, but they're there as a secondary reserve if we lost our jobs and everything seriously went to crud. This does not include our 401k/retirement accounts that we would not touch for anything except retirement.

Star Trek weekend...It was outstanding. I started watching these on Friday night and continued through yesterday. I think I drove my wife nuts. So many good episodes that it's hard to pick favorites.

StackOverflow sucksAgreed. I have the same problem. Programming for almost 30 years, but anytime I try to post anything, I don't have enough rep points.
