sorry not unicycling but
¬ ¬ ¬ ¬
just had a random thought.
look at your keyboard. its in the top left near the number 1.
press shift to type it.
what does it mean??
please help someone!
¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬¬ ¬ ¬ ¬¬ ¬
It’s not on my keyboard, but I know it’s sometimes used in symbolic logic to represent logical not. So given a proposition P, “Unicycles are fun.” Then ¬P would be, “Unicycles are not fun.”
Re: What does this mean ¬?
=AC is a ‘not’ sign
seeing as google ignores the symbol
i used the character map utility
(
click through the following path on Windows operating systems
Start
(All) Programs
Accesories
System Tools
Character Map
)
and found the Alt Code (Alt+0172) the tool tip also told me it was a
‘not’ symbol at this point, but i was still interested so still googled
and this link was the more useful one i followed

Your keyboard must have been in the dishwasher lately.
Here’s my shifted top left near the number 1:
I think what you’re talking about is the tilde symbol. The tilde symbol means ‘not’ in something called propositional logic. Propositional logic is something that can become fairly complicated, but at it’s most basic levels it is rather easy to understand.
In propositional logic, you have statements that are represented by single letters. For example, the statement:
“It is sunny outside” can be represented by the letter p. Now, when you put the tilde infront of the letter p, you are saying that the statement p is false.
So ~p = “It is not sunny outside” The tilde simply means “the opposite of the statment”.
I hope that I answered your question.
Does this topic warrant one thread in RSU and two in JC? Does someone really need “help” with this? Look up “research” in the dictionary and then apply your new knowledge.
Re: What does this mean ¬?
this should help you to distinguish between the a tilde and a not
symbol

I think on an American keyboard, the tilde is where the ¬ is on a British keyboard, so possibly the ¬ is where the tilde should be, i.e. on the key at the far right of the ASDFG row, the hash key on a British keyboard, but I think the Americans have the hash where the Pound sign should be [I think they may even call a hash a pound sign…])
All very confusing.
Yes we do.
Google knows all, seach for a british keybord and this is what I get:
Now two threads in RSU (totally non-unicycle related) and two threads in JC? These should be in JC at best and one thread at most is required to cover this “almost” topic. Since they are non-unicycle related, if another one of these threads pops up in RSU, I will trash all three of them. If someone knows Andy Parry, please tell him what he’s doing.
Re: Re: What does this mean ¬?
I’m going to say that it means:
No Question
Absolute fact
0% chance of statement NOT being true
Cannot deviate from statement.
No wiggle room.

Humans need water to live¬?
PS this thread belongs in Just conversation…
Really strange keyboard.
A hash/pound sign is actually an octothorp. Look that one up on Google. 
2 in RSU,actaully.
And now all merged together in JC, but it may pop up in rsu if people continue to post from usenet to this thread.
Weird…what happened?
Funny, I didn’t see this thread in RSU at all. And I only see the one in JC. Very confusing, indeed.
B
He originally posted this in RSU. A few minutes later, probably after realizing that it should be in JC, he posted it in JC. Meanwhile, I moved the first one from RSU to JC, and since the post in RSU went out to the newsgroup, someone not on usenet posted a reply which made a new thread in RSU.
So, Quickdraw McGraw is at it again?
