What does "=/=" mean? Or ASCII talk

[Testament]

I see a lot of people using that when posting.

Example; This game is =/= that game...

Thanks.

Not equals. It's supposed to be an equals sign with a cross through it.

You'll also see people use != for not equals occasionally.

[Testament]

Appreciate it. I kind of thought that was what it meant but didn't want to be a fool and use it when it's not needed.

:)

[wildgoosespeeder]

"<>" also means "not equal" in the Visual Basic programming language. Just throwing that out there.

[Nonnag]

Visual Basic FTW!

[wildgoosespeeder]

"≠" is the real not equals symbol.

[OmegaClassA]

That's what it really means? I thought it was just another awkward "emoticon" facial thing.

This could have gone in Random Conversations...
...I would add something to the thread anyway but everything's been said. :rolleyes:

[dmac208]

what does FTW mean?

[Samail]

Acronym confusion ftw!
Not really, though.

[Nonnag]

For Teh (The) Win.

For "not equals" I just italicize a # sign. "#" sorta works...Good enough I guess.

And here i thought it was only backwards WTF. Silly me :D

[Zwaken]

^Lol.

[Samail]

...To be honest, that was my first impression also. (Way back when)


@Zwaken: Windows actually has a "character mapper" built into the Accessories in the Start menu.
(Thanks to WGS for informing of that.)

Still don't know how I never came across that until he mentioned it...

[TH155]

Character mapper... Character mapper... Where's my character mapper? Nope, not there.

But i found a sniping tool that would be usefull for takeing pic's of less-than-the-whole of my screen...

[Samail]

If you're running XP or Vista, it should be there under Accessories\System Tools.
(May be on other OSs. Don't know.)

Actually called Character Map.

[TH155]

System tools, thank you. Thought it was just in the basic folder :D

Now how in the would am i surpossed to find what i want... in that?

[Samail]

Not sure why you wouldn't at least attempt to explore the Accessories section...

Now how in the would am i surpossed to find what i want... in that?

Pick a font and find the symbol you want...

[TH155]

I ment about the millions of symbols there, how do i find the correct one?

Few random ones.

Right, so there are more in some fonts than others

Character map can also be used to make tic tac toe boards :D

[TH155]

I X the center. What's your move?

[prateek.singla]

Placing the center on the first move.......rookie mistake.

Maybe the name "Character Map" way back then was a deceiving name and you would have never thought it would serve any cool purpose.

I remember that conversation where you had no idea where I pulled those kind of characters from that wasn't on any standard keyboard.

[Samail]

And to think I was looking up ASCII codes at the time...

[TH155]

Not the way i play.

[Zwaken]

@Samail: Oh, a character map...Huh...

Now I can type μ-Ziq without a problem. (μ-Ziq is an IDM artist I like a lot.)

[AWP]

Well, he was absent for a long time, and the returned when a January tournament started.

When the tournament ended, he banished again. And now, he comes here but doesn't post.
