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.

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....
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

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'
