I don't care how your define 1/0 as long as my program keeps running. I always found it to be inexcusable that a run-time environment would halt a program that tried to do N/0 as if it allowing it would cause a complete and utter loss of data and property. Is returning NaN, null, or undefined instead really so hard? Lazy frigging compilers, I hate you!
