Definition of Insanity

[dvduval]

This one really made me think...
(someone shared this definition with me)

What is the definition of Insanity?
Answer: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Think about it. ;)

But with Windows(r), you can do the same thing over and over again, and get different results.

That's insane, as well.

Unless I'm badly mistaken, that is a quote from Albert Einstein.

I don't get it either.

You guys post in the 'Insanity' thread and expect it to make sense, that's just plain "insane". :-)

Awesome, I think like a psychopath. Now, if only I could think like an attacker when I'm writing code... :P

Insanity: relatively permanent disorder of the mind.

Where did you find that because I know I read it in a book somewhere?

[madoverclocker]

a co-worker of mine e-mailed it to me... don't know where he found it...

[hbk619]

The funeral thing is pretty cool. I thought because the sister was married to the man or something haha.

That test is actually for a psycopath though and not actually for insanity.

I think differnt people would define insanity in differnt ways but i would have to say that its someone who does something without an actual reason and possibly doing this sort of thing consistantly.
