I wonder when people will realise that "!=" does not mean "is not the same as" but is a TEST to see if the two are alike.

a != b asks if a is equal to b, it is not a statment that a is actually diffrent from b.

From wikipedia: "!= Inequality. Used to test the equivalence of two expressions."

So stop trying to be "cool" using that type of crap...

Awesome post, dude.

It is a test that returns true if they are different. Since we should agree that the OP believes that everything he says is true, then he is giving you a test with a true result. So he is saying they are different.

Would you prefer he said (a != b) == 1
? Or are you upset because == is also a test?

Rot in hell, pedant.

It is not a correct way to write. People trying to be "cool" using those type of expressions are just lame. And I am not upset, as far as I am conserned it is just bs to use such statements as "!=".
