This IS possible, but you would probably be confused.
Make your computer count from 0 to -1 with the number being 64-bit.

Re: This IS possible, but you would probably be confused.
Are you talking about getting the computer to loop the number around when it get's to high?

I don't entirely get the whole concept of 64 bit...
endorsing a tecnicality here, couldn't you just open calculater, make the first number 0, and add (-1)?

Easy. 64Bit.
All you have to do is keep adding 1 and you will get to -1
0 = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
1 = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001
2 = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010
3 = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011
4 = 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100
...
-1 = 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111
In binary if the far left is one it means the number is negative. All ones means -1
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: This IS possible, but you would probably be confused.
I'm running a program right now.
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int number=0;
while (number != -1) {
cout << number << endl;
number = number + 1;
}
}Edit: it's in the nine-millions. :O
Edit: I just realized that this will almost never end. :(((((
