Let a=b, with a≠0

a=b
a2=ab
a2+a2=a2+ab
2a2-2ab=a2+ab-2ab
2a2-2ab=a2-ab
2(a2-ab)=1(a2-ab)
2=1

...or...

a=b
ab=bb
-ab=-bb
a2-ab=a2-b2
a(a-b)=(a+b)(a-b)
a=a+b
a=a+a
1=2

Another nice one, with numers instead of letters

16=16
Reflexive property of "="

4+12=16
From definition of "+"

4-12=16-24
Subtract 24 from both sides

4-12+9=16-24+9
Add 9 to both sides, completing squares

(2-3)2=(4-3)2
Factor, rewriting as squares

2-3=4-3
Sqrt of each side

2=4
Add 3 to each side

1=2
Divide by 2

This means basically that everything you know is wrong

I blogged before about how bad is the choice to "incubate" Subversive in Eclipse.
Friday evening I wasted much time to find a tutorial on Eclipse and Polarion site explaining how to install Subversive in Ganymede. No way: Eclipse site point to Polarion and Polarion site points to Eclipse site, and both of them are outdated, [...]
