Why not? If there can be two 2s, there can be negative two 2s, too, to give an example. These also would be invisible but, if computed algorithmically, would doubtless result in a stack overflow.

Agree.

You forget, there are a transfinite number of infinities, and they are all different.
And why can't you have a negative number of anything? You never had a overdraft?

Fortunately not - they are both countable! Transfinites and Aleph numbers make my head hurt when I think about them too much...

An overdraft isn't a negative number it's a positive pain! In any case you can't have a negative number of overdrafts ... beiieve me, I've tried!

That would of course be an infinity of infinity symbols.

But they must be invisible (dark matter?)

Come to think of it, ellipsis dots are not invisible (except for these: of course).

Do you know which continent has the most living tigers?
Depressingly, it's North America with estimates ranging from 2 to 4 times as many captive tigers in the US as still live in the wild where they should...

That is both surprising and sad.

Why? Are you trying to determine its air speed?
|
|
|

That's a trick question!
There are no African Tigers, so it's unladen airspeed is immaterial.
Over the bridge you go!

There are no North American tigers either...

I think it's hilarious that Microsoft wants me to "reserve" my upgrade to Windows 10.
Are they afraid they are going to run out of upgrades?  
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
No. They just afraid they run out of support staff for all the people upgrading

It's the oldest trick in the world: Boosting sales by suggesting urgency and a limited supply.
"Now, for a limited time only..."
How can there still be people who fall for something like this?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Last two in stock, one for you, the other for me.
All others go elsewhere

No need.
The advertisers are obviously incompetent because they tell me that the supply is inadequate.
The logistics dept is incompetent because they allowed the situation to be equally bad everywhere at the same time.
Production is incompetent because they were not able to prevent the shortage in the first place.
Management thinks that incompetence is some kind of privilege only reserved for themselves.
How good do you expect their engineers to be?

I think it was just a bad choice of word. "Request" or "Receive" or "I'll take it" would have been just as good, easy to understand why they need to do it though.

Good thing is that we (perhaps, me and others in the India locale) won't have to worry about the stock at all. Microsoft would provide a discount for us to purchase it, because almost 90% of systems use KMS!
