+1/-1 button?

huh, who would imagine that...

eh

   * Step 1: -1/1 = 1/-1

    * Step 2: Taking the square root of both sides:

    * Step 3: Simplifying: ==> (Image removed from quote.)

    * Step 4: In other words, i/1 = 1/i. ==> (Image removed from quote.)

    * Step 5: Therefore, i / 2 = 1 / (2i),

    * Step 6: i/2 + 3/(2i) = 1/(2i) + 3/(2i),

    * Step 7: i (i/2 + 3/(2i) ) = i ( 1/(2i) + 3/(2i) ),

    * Step 8: (Image removed from quote.)

    * Step 9: (-1)/2 + 3/2 = 1/2 + 3/2,

    * Step 10: and this shows that 1=2.

I do math all day i dont enjoy being reminded of it at home.

   Blah Blah...

Is it because there are no ± signs after you square root during the second step?

no

I'm +1 for the idea. As said, "clean" way to put in all the +1s. This way we won't have the post with just "+1." People who are +1 click the +1 button and do not further clog the thread. Quick way to view the public's reception to the wish. This isn't about Facebook or popularity or even youtube comments for that matter. God forbid we get the ability to click "+1" on individual comments, because that would result in a lot of (I will omit names here but you all know who) "ankle humping." Good idea. Not trendy, just practical...

20 people on the forum clicking "+" doesn't change a bad idea to a good idea, or vice versa, and we've seen from the aircraft polls that the AH community, defined as those flying in the arenas, doesn't vote the same as the much smaller AHBB community.

Considering whether or not an idea is "bad" or "good" is in the eyes of the beholder, I still see no problem. This merely makes it easier to support or oppose a wish in a simple format. Many replies to posts are ambiguous to their position - even some people just like to chime in for the sake of chiming. Where's the +1 button for this thread? I'd have already clicked it.

I don't believe that supporting or opposing an idea makes any difference. Therefore I don't believe there's any point to making it easier to support or oppose an idea. If you have something to add to the discussion I believe it's best to explain your reasoning. If you have nothing to add there is no reason to post.

I have nothing against useless posts other than it wastes a bit of time for Hitech.

+1/-1 makes it easy to see if a thread is even worth opening. 

Is it even possible with this bulletin board engine?

[stabbyy]

Doesn't matter if there are a lot of "-1's" administered, it's still all relative. The thread with the least amount of "-1's" would be the top thread in that case.

so say the 165 ppl that have read this post only 2 click +1 and 163 click -1(because they want aircraft) so this will have a terrible rating and most likely go ignored for awhile....and there is no real way to stop that except trusting ppl.....scary thought

and also its not so much about the idea of a wish its what the wish generates convsersation wise and where the thread leads more so then the wish its self

There are 10 kinds of people in the world...

[Krusty]

more like

 01 = 1
 10 = 2
410 = awesome

 

[killerdude8]

01 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3

I wonder what they mean. 

[DeadStik]

01 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3

I don't get it.
