You are an idiot. You can't negate (-MaxInt-1) and expect a valid

Lol,

Finally you admit it can't be done.

I was right. You are a dumbass who never learned to read.

I never said it could be done. I said it should give you an overflow
error, which didn't happen because of a bug in D2007. In versions
before 2007, you will get an overflow error.
