those who understand binary and those who don't



bit geeky, but made me chuckle

 

But I know what you mean "but made me chuckle "

 

Im Ashamed to say that I get that

And even more so admitting that I find it funny

Neil.

 

 

Whats that mean? Don't get it?

 

i think like me, spiky gets the joke. that in a way is a bit embarrasing. it's like admitting to being a geek if you laugh at it.

 

I get it, I laughed!

 

explanation?

 

Binary notation is a series of 1's and 0's, calculated by reading from the right to the left, doubling the decimal-value of each digit as you go to the left, as follows:

0 (binary) = 0 (decimal)
1 (binary) = 1 (decimal)
10 (binary) = 2 (decimal)
11 (binary) = 3 (decimal)
100 (binary) = 4 (decimal)
...
and so on.

So, reading the initial statement as binary, it reads "there are only 2 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't."

 

ForefingeRS that is sad

 

 

PMSL @ pikie!

 

Anyone watch Futurama when Bender was praying, he was just saying 1011000111010100010110111001.....etc PMSL

 

McPikie,

I could retort with a pathetic picture of something with the word thicko on it, but i'm not such a geek that i'd either:
a) go the trouble of finding one or
b) searching the net for one.

 

i like it
