I never could understand this quote (the rest of it is "those who understand binary, and those who don't").

using the binary system and two charachters the numbers {1,0} can be combined to form 4 unique charachters: 00, 01, 10, 11. - so there are 1 (out of a possible 4) kinds of people on the earth?
The usual counter argument is that 10 represents '2' in the decimal system - buts thats ASCII (which uses binary), not binary in of itself.

confusing.:dunno:

Touche. However the quote

"There are 11 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't, and pedants" doesn't quite have the same oomph. But seeing how its your birthday and all, I'll let you have it.

(Yeah, I know its spelt wrong. But I can't find the accent)

yossarin · 07-07-2004 10:27am

pedants == 3

briano · 07-07-2004 10:28am

pedants == 3

What? Years old?

yossarin · 07-07-2004 10:52am

briano,
yes. years old. Touche yourself.
It was just somthing i was wondering about (which now that i think about it was incorrect), not some sort of personal attack.
anyway, off topic alert ! I'm sorry i brought it up.

How do I know, because I am the same age of a certain poster who said he was 25 when this was posted originally, and that would make me 2 years older now

Eh, no.

I'm 24 this year.
