First 'intelligent design' (which is somewhat lacking in the intelligent part). And now, 'nullility'.

Seriously. This is apparently a solution to a 1200 year old problem. It's just retarded, and not even funny. It's like ocming up with random crap (I have one called the 'one constant'. ¥ constant (yen sign) = 1. Now lets take an equation, f=ma. No no, thats wrong. F¥ = m¥a¥. Better!).

Read on for oldskool IRC flaming.
Outraged IRC exercpts;

MNF: And if the programmer had any brains, when writing the software for the flight controller, HE'D CHECK BEFORE DIVIDING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT A DIVISION BY ZERO IN THE FIRST PLACE GRARR

<Pandya> but why?
<Pandya> oh because you cant dvidide by zero...
<Pandya> but wait! yes you can
<Pandya> nullility!
<Pandya> err0r.

<Steep> :/ if u can divide 0 then when does maths finish?
<Steep> i mean... the sum could go on forever
<Pandya> thats the whole point I think
<Avoc> yes! Lets follow Dr. Anderson!
<Pandya> instead of having a sum that goes on for ever, make some crap up and give it a silly name
<CallMeMASTERNightfall> Not that, you'd just plug a meaningless number 'nullity' into the next calcluation
<Avoc> his name is Anderson! Its the matrix all over

<Pandya> whats the point of having a number you can use when the number is completely useless in the first place
<Pandya> its like me saying, from now on, six is no longer called six, it's called pandar
<Pandya> pandar / 3 = 2.
<Pandya> lets teaach that in school insteaad :/

<CallMeMASTERNightfall> So after you go through all of them, you'll end up with 'nullity' congratu-freaking-lations, good job wasting all those CPU cycles, when you could have jumped past the rest of the computations BACK WHEN YOUR CHECK noticed that you are dividing by zero

<Avoc> lol I can invent numbers too
<Avoc> lol if 3.14159... is Pi and x/0 is "nullity" then the square root of 2 is hereby known as "omegatron." Its symbol consists of many lines forming a snowflake inscribed in an irregular shape.

<Avoc> "this guy solved the problem simply because he defined a solution to the problem that's like a student being asked what 0 - 1 is, and responding "booby" saying that "booby" is the result of subtracting one from zero there are no viable mathematical proofs, or applications for this "nullity""
