.3~

.3~ or .3 repeating is commonly thought to equal 1/3. Believers of this idea claim that because the number of decimals is infinite, that it must equal 1/3. They sometimes use the supporting example that .33333333=1/3, therefore .66666666=2/3 therefore .99999999= 3/3, or 1. To prove this wrong, you need to consider 2 things. First, and most sensible, 10 is not divisible by 3. Therefore, no matter how many .3's you use, they will never be able to complete the whole number 1. The second thing you need to consider is that with .33333~, you will always be off by just a little from achieving 1/3. This is why when you use a calculator and enter 1/3, the decimal given is .333333334.

.33333333x3= .99999999
.33333334x3=1.02
The answer of what decimal multiplied by 3 equals one is lurking somewhere in between those 2.

A Sighn Meaning Love as it is a love heart sidey ways

Boyfriend: Hey
Girlfriend: Hey
Boyfriend: <3 u
Girlfriend: <3 u 2

Viewed sideways becomes a heart. Usually used to express luv or love for something over the internet. Can be used on a complete stranger you met in an online forum. Less creepy than using the word love on people you don't know.

note: <3 (luv) and love are not necesarily the same. Luv, like 'lub', is a less serious and more lighthearted version of 'love'.

I <3 u = I luv u = I lubu
(none of these is equal to 'I love you')

It means you do not love something/someone. A computer programmer's joke.

I !<3 you.

I'll also program a breakup into code. (GML. It is similar to C++)...

var girl
var guy
var truelove

//Yes this had to do with my life :'(
//0 means doesn't love
//1 means is in love

//how it started out:
guy=1
girl=1

//how it ended out:
girl=0

//notice how guy is still 1 ... :(

//and this is always checking for any changes::

if (girl=1 and guy=1) then truelove=1;
else if (girl!=1 or guy!=1) then truelove=0;

Also, this is taken from Veggie's definition for !...

In the programming world, this means NOT. It is mostly used in boolean expressions, mostly found in if statements, to express the non-equality of something.

It can be used with an '=' sign like this: 3 != 4, meaning 3 does not equal 4. This is a true expression, and so the expression would return TRUE. However, if I put: ((6-3) != (5-2)) I'm basically saying 6-3 is not equal to 5-2, or 3 does not equal 3. But 3 DOES equal 3. So this expression would return false.

NOTE: != is pronounced as "Does Not Equal"

<3 - Less than 3. Not more than 3. Not equal to three. But decidedly less than 3.

2 is <3
1 is <3
-1 is <3
etc

What mostly young emos use in their MSN names/MySpace profiles either side of their their girl/boyfriend's name to let them know that they love them, which they most usually don't. Apparently the more 3s you use the more you love them. People also sometimes write that they love their partners inside the love hearts, which doesn't really make sense. It also looks like a pair of balls and a dick or an ice-cream.
