i just found this quote from star trek, and i got a fu***ng problem with breathing cuz of laughing: rif

LOL! itd be hard to understnad unless you knew some about electronics, but MY GOD! Thats great comedy.

That's quite possibly the nerdiest thing I've seen in years. I'm so sending this to my friends...

I can feel the geekiness.
Although I can feel the confusuion a hell of a lot more.

Yes! YES! FEEL THE GEKINESS! IT INFECTS YOU AND TAKES OVER YOR BODY! *cough*thenturnsyouintoalittleweaklingthatspendstheirwholelifeinfrontofacomputerscreenwhyareyoustillreadingthisyouhavetoomuchsparetime*cough*

oh and while we r at geek jokes:

there are only 10 types of people,
those who understand binarys and those who dont.

OMG.. scary.. i can actually understand the joke

Yes, I got it too. great

wich one? the 1st or the 2nd?
or even both?

*blink*
I think I'm outta my leauge here...
*slowly backs away*
I think... I'll be leaving now.

Binary isn't that hard, a bit fiddly maybe but....

10011 = the number 19

And 19 in hex would be 13



7F in hex = 127
80 in hex = 128 tough if were talking about a signed 8bit integer 80 would be -128 (negative) numeric digit...

A 16bit value can range from 0 to 65535 (or -32768 to +32767 is signed 16bit)
CDDA (audio cd's) use 16bit signed btw...
So a audio cd track with a 50% volume peak would be either -16384 or 16383 depending on wether it's a positive or negative at that point in time)


In HEX I'm "1D" years
In binary I'm "11101" years.
In octets I'm "35" years...
In numerics I'm. "not telling"


*wonders why everyone are staring at him blankly*

The 10 kinds of people in the world is old. I have a t-shirt with that on it, and my friends are utterly mindboggled by it. Theyre literary-math-science geeks, while I am THE computer geek.

wow u r old, next year u ll be out of our league.
u already know what u doing if u retire?


the most important binary i know is '010111',
cuz a collegue of mine wrote in his final exams
01 01 11 in this order. (that would be something like
E- E- B- ?) and with a passed oral exam he made it through.....

Retire? lol barely halfway there yet


Now. How you manage to turn 01 01 11 into E- E- B- ? doesn't make sense. E would be um ascii 69 or sumpt. (not entirely sure, didn't look it up. but I do seem to recall that In the Latin-1 (or even 7bit ANSI char table, or UTF7 or UTF8) A = integer 65. don't ask me what a small a is I can't remember *grin*
So in binary E would equal 1000101


*feels everyone staring at him again...*

Gee wonder why U get stared at

I get the jokes from Mummu, but U just flew a few miles above my head with that

Just remembered this: 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count and those who can't

uhh.., i was referring here to american schoolmarks, not sure if i got them correct, but.

Gridfan wrote:E would be um ascii 69

yep, right, looked it up.
but while we r at ascii, what means ETB ( 27oct ascii code)?

oh and while we at it, some more interresting question, what means SUB? i ve always a SUB at the end of the code frame file (named with a '.PAS' ) i get from our teacher, he uses windows, me linux.

Hmm. no clue. Don't know any Pascal so...

SUBsection maybe?

Oh wait, as file extension? Hmm now that is weird indeed...

not as extension, its the last char in the file.

oh boy oh boy oh boy
ok, so....
if you have an ip address of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.128, that means that you have 7 bits available in the last
quadrant to define host numbers, which means that you can have
(2 x/y 7)-2 hosts which comes out as 126 hosts per network, and that subnet defines that you have two possible networks.

(by default, the address mask for this class of ip addresses is 255.255.255.0, so all those three 255's are permanent, so dont worry bout them)


in binary, the subnet mask would look like this...

11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000
255.255.255.128

and the address like this

11000000.10101000.00000000.00000001
192.168.0.1

heres, a noodle baker,
is the address 192.168.0.127 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128 a valid host address?

uhhh...who uses subnet mask that dont end with a 0?
but i would say:

no.
