Im not going away

[Colin]

So, what you're saying is.. I had you at "Hello".. if I'd only said "Hello"

It sounded impressive, I'm going to go into the local electronics store and say exactly what you said. I'll be like a god to those nerds.

They will probably point you in the direction of the nearest computer store

I wanted to say Tandy or Dick Smith, but I wasn't sure if many people would know what I was talking about.

 

[Lazybite]

ahhh gotcha..... ignore my stupidity....

 

[koogie2k]

Big Poppa.....if need be, I can help you out through "other" channels......I am in a really BAD mood as of late and this kind of garbage towards a friend of mine cannot be tolerated by moi......Like I said, Bad mood for me = bad times for peeps.....

But, I will just ignore said idiot........for now.

Colin,

I understood you up to "Tandy or Dick Smith"....


The kind of geek you find at a retail outlet probably doesn't know squat about writing code. We're a dying breed. These kids today.. sheesh! They couldn't tell a bit shift right from an exclusive or... they couldn't load a function number into the AX register and call int 11h...

There are 10 kinds of people in this world.. the kind who understand binary code and the kind who don't.

I never did get that joke

I am prized where I work because I know FORTRAN...

Hang on, it's a joke!?!

I don't know if I should be proud or embarsassed that I do.

Pride my dear friend Rich, take it with Pride If it comes down to it, you can show them computers a thing or two (unlike management)

Tom, I'm impressed that someone still writes FORTRAN code!

Lazybite, if you really don't get it:

The value '2' as you know it (in decimal or base-10) is expressed as '10' in binary (or base-2) numbering. Therein lies the joke.

counting in binary: (from decimal 1 to 10.. leading zeroes included)


0001
0010
0011
0100
0101
0110
0111
1000
1001
1010

 

[tkarter]

The real question is "do you got root"?

I'll just say, I work on a lot of legacy code, mostly FORTRAN with some Jovial and Assembly.

Binary Arithmetic is so fun:

0011 + 0010 = 0101

I like Base 2, no hanging chads.

Fun when you start looking for such things as LSB = 2^-16 on a regular basis.

He is very happy that he can create new identities.

I'm happy about multiple identities, but I promise to behave!

The guy is a Kook! Think of his poor mother!

When he signs up, I'm assuming he needs a legitimate email address to activate his newest identity. Is it always the same email address? If it is, give it to us and we can reroute our junk mail to him! Mass mailing at its best!!!!!

 

[Lazybite]

now im really lost..... I can read html/java etc but that binary's all over my head.

I like basses!!!

 

[midopa]

Hey, me too!

 

[barkatozz]

Great....the one forum I DON'T argue with anyone on has a troll lurking.
