Boolean logic goes a bit deeper than mere programming.

It is the functional basis of the electronics upon which the programming rests.

Why didn’t they give that poor man a ride?

[Borges]

Declare a Boolean variable in his honor.

[Steely Tom]

Give me Boolean logic and a 64-bit address space, and I can rule the world.

Boolean logic goes a bit deeper than mere programming

The conclusions in logic are inescapable, and it comes quite naturally to the analytical mind.

We know what we know.

We know what we don't know

We don't know what we know

We don't know what we don't know

The LSM had a field day with that statement from Donald Rumsfeld. They thought he was speaking gibberish when in fact he was presenting two variable Boolean logic to the problem.

[Yo-Yo]

Your program says if it’s not raining, then you must die.

[kevkrom]

Declare a Boolean variable in his honor.

OR NOT.

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who know binary and those who don’t.

Yep, that surprised me.
