Where can I go to find out about it and how it works. I'm having troubel finding any good sites that explain it well. All I get is weak definitions alphabets and translator crap. I copied that crap from and alphabet site. CPP James? |

My explination is quite simple...You don't want to know what it means, and no one ever really WILL know what it means.
I mean no harm to you or your personal endeavors, hobbies, whatever the case may be...but I personally hate computers...I mean, I know people that know more about computers than people...I mean, it's a god damn machine...Granted, they do some pretty sweet shit, but come on, I think people need to get off their asses once and a while and quit bitching that their Ib97-capacitor sound file OB29 sound file card...thing...is screwing up the motherboard, or the mouse, or whatever piece of hardware is doing the dirty buisness. Who the hell cares?
But yeah, that's my opinion, to each his own. I never got Binary, I don't give a fuck about programing, so I probably shouldn't of made an ass of myself (which I did not, by any means, intend to do but obviously did).
Actually, I think these computer people are just trying to take over the world. |

I think the definition should show you how it works. Transistors can be in two states: on and off. So two options represented numerically are done with 1 and 0. Thus, code must be written in a language that can be stored, ie, 1s and 0s. |

I'm amazed at the lack of Internet info regarding binary. I was able to find one site:
http://www.learnbinary.com/home.htm
It has a little basic information but isn't very well designed. Each page has info boxes that contain more detail about the subject. Read the text in the info boxes and click on the i to get to the next part. |

LOL, how did I miss this thread?! I don't know if you're actually asking for a "meaning" or if you just typed a random bunch of 0's and 1's. A quick internet search should explain the basic concept, but basically it's the base 2 number system. Traditional numbers are base 10, so when you think of a number like 947, it's really:
9x10^2 + 4x10^1 + 7x10^0. In base 2, with 110010101:
1*2^8 + 1x2^7 + 0x2^6 + 0x2^5 + 1*2^4 + 0x2^3 + 1x2^2 + 0x2^1 + 1x2^0 = 405 |
There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't. |

| Ah thanks CPP James and Tericee. I had a hard time finding anything online but between the site Tericee gave me and the explaination CPP gave me I get it now. It's actually not that hard I've done some work with some alternate number systems and it's still not second nature like the 10's but this is easier then the sevens one. |

correct me if I'm wrong here but,
I believe an integer can be anywhere from -32768 to +32768
and this is determined by a 17 digit binary number
10101010101010101
|________________| <-- that long
the number furthest to the left determines wether its negative or positive and the 16 other digits define the number itself.
16 digits in base 2 gives up to 32768 possibilities
I haven't learnt about binary for years, so this maybe be SLIGHTLY inaccurate (such as the number 32768, give or take a hundred).
But you get the basic idea |

Well, when you master that, you can get into hexadecimal...base 16. It's how colors are rendered in HTML and is used in a variety of computer applications. You get into the letters ABCDE and F, so a hex number representing 11259375 is actually ABCDEF in Hex.
A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F = 15
Definitely good for parties. |

When my dad went to university, he learned to progrma in binary. You would punch holes in cards and then submit it to a machine that would read the code.
They were marked on how easy the code was to read and learn from.
By the time he left university, the focus of programming had become the importance of EFFICIENCY in a program.

| Believe it or not, my father-in-law actually understands it, could explain it, used to program space programs in it for ECAC and (this is the kicker! LOL) has a binary LED clock on the table in his room right now. LOL I can't read it, have no interest really, but he can glance at it and tell you the time. Some people are WAY too logical, ya know? LOL |

hah, thats such an old and typical thread picture. I've always wondered how many pages of binary would go into one picture like that. |

It translates to: I want to learn about code. How cool!
Did you know it did that Zach? BTW, the translator I used is here:

Hehehe.
Ahh...it's an ASCII translation. I failed to notice the strict 8-bit pattern and the spacing. Can't win 'em all I guess. That site's pretty cool...although not overly useful anymore. |
