Submission + - Mathematicians Challenge Truthiness of Nullity

But is there really no Truthiness in Nullity?"Wikinews reports on new developments on the Nullity story. Mathematicians are furious at BBC News and Dr James Anderson from University of Reading for claiming that his theory of "nullity" is revolutionary for finally showing how to devide by zero. 'He's defined a non-solution to a non-problem!' they say. Dr. Anderson is already intending to profit from his "invention" by registering a company called Transreal Computing Ltd, whose mission statement is "to develop hardware and software to bring you fast and safe computation that does not fail on division by zero". It has also been suggested that the university of Reading, who recently closed their physics department, should drop CS and Math too and stick to folk dancing and knitting.
