Not better than or worse than; equivalent.

It's IT guy speak for how engineers say !=

Edit: just looked it up in that ridiculous language. They use <> to mean != when symbolically it should denote ==.

VB would drive a C programmer nuts.

80s/90s. Most of the anime I see reminds me of David the Gnome.

That's funny considering how much of the action movies of that era is in anime.

Are you talking about Roger Rabbit and shit? Animation <> Anime

Yep, but content is not the same. Not all animation is the same.

It's the Arabic symbol for the number zero.

Did you know that our current writing number system came from the Arabs?

In my experience Anime can be really weird as fuck, but also there are some really good gems out there as well.

Well the Arabs first brought them to Europe but they took them from India.
They are known as Hindu-Arabic numerals.

I memorised them off a clock face while waiting to draw money in a Cairo bank....

Usually just known as Arabic numerals in the West (and in history textbooks), but yeah, the Arabs called them Hindu numbers, so the Hindus probably called them something like 'our number-things'
