True, False, File not found

Hilarious. Too great a comment not to make an article of it. :-D

As comment to my previous article, GlassX made a reference to The Daily WTF, where Alex Papadimoulis made a tongue-in-cheek comment on the following code snippet:

enum Bool
{
    True,
    False,
    FileNotFound
};

Even better than the initial laugh, however, was the ensuing comments:

Anonymous: The more subtle WTF is that, by default, True is 0 and False is 1. Which is completely bass-ackwards.
rikkus: UNIX would beg to differ:

   $ true; echo $?
   0
   $ false; echo $?
   1
Maurits: I take it you’re assuming that UNIX is not completely bass-ackwards?

Game, Set, and Match. ;-)
