Verizon Can't Do Math

[StukaJU87]

If you put .002 cents on a giant conveyor belt, will the .002 cents = .002 dollars?:ROTF:

Why do you hate the decimal system?

Maybe he's confusing it with the Dewey Decimal System. :ROTF:

Ugh, can someone please lock this thread? It's pretty obvious that Lou is just being a troll in this topic.

This thread needs not to go further. Google has spoken once again.

Dude, its basic math. I know this is a stretch for many, but, one last time:

The rate is advertised as $.002 per KB.

Mulitply $1.00 by .002.

What do you get? You get $.002. Now tell me your calculator is a liar.

If it was advertised as $.02 per KB, and you multipled $1.00 by .02, you get $.02.

Any number times "1" is always the same number and never changes. BASIC FREAKING MATH.

Here is another little secret....ANY NUMBER TIMES "0" IS ALWAYS "0".....WOW!!!!-Lou

All of this is entirely true. But the guy was verbally quoted .002 cents. Youve been arguing that $.002 is the same thing as .002 cents, which it is not. Youve also been arguing that .002 cents is not the same thing as .002 "of" a cent. Yes it is. By your logic 2 cents is not the same thing as 2 "of" a cent. Hmm, if I have 2 of a cent then I have 2 cents. If I have .002 of a cent, I have .002 cents. I think this is where the problem lies. And yes, the plane will take off.

I laughed out loud listening to that and now I'm laughing my ass off reading this thread.

0.50 cents is the same as 0.5 cents right Lou? When you add an extra zero on the far right past a decimal it makes no difference correct?

SO! Is 0.50 cents the same as 0.5 cents or is it the same as 50 cents? 0.50 DOLLARS is the same as 50.0 cents. Math doesn't totally change because you are talking about money. 0.50 cents = 0.5 cents = 1/2 * 1 cent = HALF OF A CENT.

0.50 DOLLARS = 0.5 DOLLARS = 50.0 CENTS

And don't try to convince us all that the math is TOTALLY different when the number used is 0.002...if math was totally different for each number, there would be no math! :P

BIG DIFFERENCE DUDE! Fuck's sake!

I STILL WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!!!
