Yeah ! I think it's a shame for this blog to publish this kind of... thing at all. That's bullshit ;) ! And that's not because the idea is stupid (well, actualy the idea *is* stupid, but that's not the point), but because the article is; it says : let's put a symbol on that. Then what ? What do you do with it ? Math is all about inventing symbols and playing with. Where do we play in this article ? Wanna play !!!

PS : I'd say "It works indeed... or not" or "It may work indeed... or it may not" but not "It works indeed... or maybe not.", but that's just me ;)

How can you NOT know that, indeed.

It's really super cool to have this number that can mean anything, from minus infinity to zero, including infinity and any possible number. Unless, of course, all these functions I'm thinking of stop having nice properties such as, err, being continuous, for instance. I mean, it's really, really helpful. Oh yeah - really rocks polars bears.

Actually, I think this number already kind of exists in computers. It's called NaN (Non available Number).
NaN stands for Not A Number rather than Non Available Number, but you're definitely right.

PS: "English", capital E. I'd say "You idiot" or "You moron" or even "You fool" rather than "You stupid". But it's personal ;-).
My mistake. Thank you.
