Conjuring up a name for this Nov 11th?

[Bernt Tass]

When written, binary numerals should be subscripted, prefixed or
suffixed in order to indicate their base.

For example, you should have written:

"There are 10b kinds of people in this world. Those who
understand binary, and those who don't."

Maybe you should put down your bible comics and pick up a science book. ;-)

There are 2 kinds of people in the world: those that categorize other
people, and those that don't.

No, it's 37. Gee, I never thought the hex vs octal discussion would
still be going on in 2011 :-)

I hope the | instead of the / never catches on. I have enough trouble

No, it's 37.

You mean '77'? I'd buy '3F', or even '333', but *never* '77'.
DEC was buried decades back. ;-)

It'll be over soon enough.

How about plaid?
"11-11-11" format is common enough.

In the digital world, the Soviets built a ternary (i.e. 3-state) machine
in the '50s ("Setun", I think it was) which was supposedly quite
successful. Binary became the standard, though, and components were
designed for it rather than other numerical systems, so it's not an
exercise that's been repeated - but more to do with cost than anything.

Don't forget analog computers, either, where the state of a wire can
represent an infinite number of values.

Oops. When I wrote 37, I was thinking we were still talking about
11/01/11 instead of 11/11/11. (110111 = 0x37. That same binary
being 63 octal). So, how does 63 represent 11/11/11?

Binary is the only thing *binary*logic* understands (tautology alert).
"Computers" may be Octal, Hexadecimal, Base 64, or even decimal (or a load of
others).

11/01/11 is 67 Octal then ?

No, but 110111 Binary may be represented as 67 Octal or 37 Hexadecimal.

digital?

Oh my God, I remember having to program early digital equipment in
binary then along came gear that used BCD. Kids today have no idea
how easy they have it when it comes to using computers. ^_^
