OrnotBitwise
Watermelon
OrnotBitwise is, however, my favorite nick. My handle. My moniker. My nom de guerre, as it were. It was not always thus, however.
Long, long ago, on boards far, far away, I was one bad internet mo-fo. Picture Grind with a collectivist twist. Eat the rich and spit out the beaks sort of thing. At that time, I took great pride in posting under my own name. Now that I'm younger and mellower, I've given up the antagonistic mud slinging -- for the most part.
So, what's with the "Ornot Bitwise" thing, you ask? Is that a name or a logical fallacy?
This nick is a joke. It's a joke that only a fellow nerd would get . . . and even then, it's pretty weak. I will explain it once. Newbies henceforth are on their own.
In formal logic, the statement "A OR NOT A" -- A || !A -- is always true. To an olde tyme geek like me, this is called "OR-ing the NOT."
When you're working directly with computer memory -- working bitwise, as it were -- OR-ing the NOT produces an address with all 1s -- or all TRUE.
01100101 || 10011010 = 11111111
Hence, what I say is always true.
Got it? Good. That's all she wrote.
