He asked me to "xhost +" and then displayed the death star on my screen. Hooly. vasc: after '?' comes ' ?' then '??' then ' ?' :) OK paulz keaton: ahh, yes xhost + is not a good idea i remember running some fancy screensaver Fortuneately he taught me to "xhost -", too. vasc: we had a discussion here in the office once about if we used binary in everyday arithmatic vasc: i pointed out you could count to 1024 on your hands paulz: true how? vasc: however 4, 128 and especially 132 become ... interesting :) vasc: asumming you start at a thumb and go across with your palms toward your face then? heh keaton: put your thumb is 1 yes keaton: your pointer finger is 2 right keaton: your pointer finger and your thumb is 3 right keaton: so show someone near you 4 uh? 4 is the middle finger only the middle finger? keaton: yes in binary 1 = 1 10 = 2 11 = 3 * sc is away: work. 100 = 4 101 = 5 110 = 6 111 = 7 and so on I bet you don`t use this theory in financial debate. like i said, 4, 128 and 132 don't make many friends anyway that is a cultural problem yeah, i can image that vasc: true i never thought about using the binary system that way vasc: I guess 1 would be a problem some places <-- Kero has quit (bye!) vasc: and 6 in other places 6 is? keaton: similiar to a peace sign in .us oh yes i remember seeing 6 in dragonball Z i think the britons also did that what is 6 anyway? 6 is paulz's brother and the new 'supports' for our ceiling hehe * paulz smacks Cosh a friend of mine once told me, it had to do with the british longbowmen getting the 2 and 4 fingers cut off um so they waved them to the french in some battle to sneer I think he was refering to http://civserver.freeciv.org/~paulz...f-work3-006.jpg vasc: I had heard it was only the 4 finger.... but anyway vasc: I think it has to do with feminine anatomy but thats just a guess i was talking about the V like sign um the V vasc: me too oh hmm vasc: we use it here as a 'peace' sign yes i know vasc: but usually the palm faces outward V for victory eh? heh paulz: So how do you show 1024? we also use um 28 for 'ok' i remember seeing some program on WWII keaton: all your fingers (well thats really 1023) the peace sign i guess is derived from that, they used it in what the 60's 70's? :) Are you kidding me? vasc: 28 making a circle with your 1 and 2 fingers vasc: yes keaton: no um....surprising keaton: do you understand binary? keaton: imagine 0 and 1 are your fingers, 0 for down, 1 for up i learned it once, but i didn`t do a lot of practivce keaton: on one hand you count this way 00000 00001 00010 00011 00100 00101 00111 01000 and so on 01000= ? 2^5 how com? combinations come? see it this way? what is the value of 11? vasc: its really 2^3... it's 10*1+1 let me see.. er 4 in base 10: 11=3? yes yup mmmmmmmm... is there better way of converting them mathmatically? its the same thing in base 10 but you're used to that: 234 = 10^2*2 + 10^1*3 + 10^0*4 then? so in binary: 11 = 2^1*1 + 2^0*1 cosh: 2^1*1+2^0*1 1 http://www.dnaco.net/~ivanjs/binary.html stupid bot haha * vasc kicks cosh how do i kick someone? or smack or shrug? just '/me text' keaton You should really look at that link I posted ok.. thue: hey cool, they use the fingers :) mozzila starts so slow. 17 is hang loose and 19 is I love you :) hmm wooooo, i thought studying tech has to be boring...

Only because you poor civ2 people don't have the source code and have to resort to hex editong as a last alternative.

On the IRC dialog: note how the newbie is mightily confused by our resident bot, cosh

There's a reason Java doesn't have built-in binary numbers despite having built-in hex and octal numbers.
