I am getting better at reading binary since we made the LED Binary Clock the main time telling device in the living room, but I still have to think through each digit to be sure.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
my brain just sploded all over the monitor.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Heh, Bitches has turned into Binary 101. Sorry, Binary 1100101.

Each column of binary is double of the one to the right, correct? As in 1's, 2's, 4's, 8's etc?
edit: no, that won't work . . .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, that's right. billytea's number is 1+0+4+0+0+32+64 = 101 in base 10.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yes, it does. 64+32+0+0+4+1=101

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Teppy, the whole thing was like three years ago.
If it's any help, Gud had this whole egg crate metaphor.

I missed a column, I had the last column as 128.
I think I pulled a brain cell.
edit: I feel like a complete fraud at math, I never use the proper methods. When I did the math section of the SATs, I'd fumble my way through the problems, see if my answer matched any of the multiple choices--god bless multiple choice--and use the one that was closest. Or I'd plug in the choices until I got one that worked. It was a continuous case of "Wow, my answer matches one of those! I hope it's the right one."

Each digit takes you up a power of two (so, a doubling) (in base 10, it's powers of ten). I'm used to base 2 and base 16; I never worked much in base 8 so I can't do it fast.
