Here's a non-programming example, to make things clearer. It's a sunny Sunday, and Fred is watching a labourer trying to build a house with a shovel. An hour later, Jane comes along and asks Fred whether the labourer has built any houses *with* that shovel. Fred does not say: "Hang on! With *that* shovel? I dunno. Possibly. Who can say?" Fred does say: "Dudess, that labourer hasn't built any houses." Implicit in that is: "Dudess, regardless of the building tool, no houses have been built." -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
