Meehan	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:00:00 - [7] Because noone cares about 1,8% increase? Records are interesting when they are broken, not steadily increased by a fraction on a regular basis...

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:16:00 - [9] True. Hey.. did you type 1,8% on purpose? Or did you mean to type 1.8%?

Rodj Blake	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:18:00 - [11] Originally by: TheMiner True. Hey.. did you type 1,8% on purpose? Or did you mean to type 1.8%? . It's how they do decimals on most of continental Europe. Dolce et decorum est pro imperator mori

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:22:00 - [13] Hey so what happens if you are trying to write this number: 173.879? Would they write it like this: 173,879? How can they tell the diff between 173,(point)879 and 173,(comma)879?

First of all, I am not from the USA, if thats what you were thinking. And I dont use F. Secondly, your second answer showed both hate for a nationality and lack of logic. Can you tell me how one automatically knows that 185,454 and 185,454 are different numbers? In many cases a very wide range of numbers might suffice and there is no way you could just "know" what the write of that number intended. If you are so smart, figure out this math problem, written in your silly form: 56,571 + 2,567 + 765,643 Ok big guy.. whats the answer?

Meehan	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:31:00 - [17] Another solution would be that we write "." where you use "," and vice versa. Not that we do, but anyhow. The only time we use a symbol is when we want to make a clear line between whole numbers and fractions of one. E.g; A Megathron is worth 98543123,28 ISK - not 98,543,123.28 ISK

E.g; A Megathron is worth 98543123,28 ISK - not 98,543,123.28 ISK Pretty hard to tell how much its worth just by glancing. Put those commas in and it is much easier. Man I wish all isk values were like that in EVE. I could scam people soooo easily...

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:39:00 - [23] Originally by: Meehan It might seem inferior when your mind is not capable of handling those big numbers. Congratulations on belittling yourself 986489948 is much harder to read than 986,489,948. If I have you a list of large numbers could you instantly tell me if they were in the 10s of millions, 100s of millions, hundreds of thousends, billions, or tens of billions? 6754654775 ----------- 8954894589 --------- 9848934 ---------- 9845895489 --------- 894893 -----------983489432 --------- 983498724 ---------3243898489 ---------- 8734789298 ---------- 9813429879841 --------- 7834278478 ----------- 87342897 --------- 983489 -------- 9832893 Much easier if it has commas. Can get it with 1 glance. Don't tell me its not easier with commas. Working with huge lists of large numers would get pretty annoying w/o commas... even if you were skillfull with it you'd still more likely miss a number here and there. Inferior. 754547546754 54754756 54754753643 5634643 436757457

mahhy	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:46:00 - [25] From what you've said so far it seems like you have ZERO experience with anything other than the North American system. I'm not sure I agree with Mehaan about not using symbols either. Least here in DK (from a foreigners perspective) all numbers use symbols. For example: North American: 4,567.98 Euro (DK): 4.567,98 The school system here teaches the , as the decimal "point" and the . as the separator. Works 100% just as well as the system I was taught.

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 07:59:00 - [27] North American: 4,567.98 <---- No problem at all. Euro (DK): 4.567,98 <---- No problem at all. Nothing wrong with that at all. All I was ever saying is that 959,544 and 645,545 is stupid way to show numbers, as well as 89548954950943. I am 100% correct.

Meehan	Posted - 2004.10.13 08:01:00 - [29] I reiterate: It's easy when you are used to it. I find running ten miles easy too - because I am used to it. A guy from fatcamp might not though.
