but thats hexadecimal, not binary.. If you want to convert it into binary, and Ti83 and up graphing calc will do it, as will numerous on-line applications.

your answer was helpfull and i learned something new today

All I can see is a hexadecimal dump from a disk reader.

Lost in translation? - I think not. :D

you say what I think, while I type a more polite response...

Maybe if I change my name to "Old Dumfrey" I to can be a crummudgeon?

by older mycroft

THAT'S ME! :D

Actually, it's an alias, but does let me away with most things!

Those that understand Binary...

...and those that DON'T! :D :D :D

Wally: "When I started programming, we didn't have any of these sissy "icons" and "windows". All we had were zeros and ones -- and sometimes we didn't even have ones. I wrote an entire database program using only zeros.

Dilbert: You had zeros? We had to use the letter "O".

I just need to break a few habits. Atm I only get that way when irritated. Then again, mybe I should just be irritated non-stop? :\ Hmmmm

Food for thought.

It was printed on the front of my t-shirt, I was a college student [Circa 1975], and also drinking (doing studenty-type activities) in a local hostelry.

Some dork didn't understand the joke and I pointed out to him that my t-shirt must've been printed just so he could read it!

He took umbrage and I took a trip in an ambulance! ;)

you and the dumprey guy ! people post a question because they don't know the answer. how can one learn if he can't trust the older wiser teachers wont ridicuel his question!

by dumphrey

you will see that your question was answered in post 1. Clearly. In the second post (mine) I informed you it was not binary but hex (I tried to say so with no insult, but was pressed for time and was very brief), and a simple utility could be used to convert such. I'm sorry if us having fun has offended you in any way, but in all honesty you need to lighten up. Your question was answered, and quickly, by people on the job, helping out in the spare moments. What more do you want? We in fact didn't really ridicule your question, but if you like we can start. None of us are by nature nasty people, but you came into an established community and asked for help. you received said help, and also a dose of what the "normal" conversations here can be like. Browse around. Its true. This is a place we act goofy sometime to let off steam, its that or choke the boss that thinks networks run on magic and dreams not work and money... Welcome to TR. There are all kinds of niches here. Find yours, relax, have fun.
Once again I apologize if we have offended you.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled day.

EDIT: I see you have been a member since 2001. So you should know how TR is...

want. Any joke that gets you in in a hospital earns life time rights in my book.

The best I can say is I let an inappropriate joke out at a moment when customers were around (sales job in a mall). long story short, it involved a co-worker and a sheep. I got written up. I guess I should have been fired really.

I'm a bit of a mimic. Used to love to watch Rich Little as a kid imitating the "stars".

And it seems to run in the family. One of my cousins went to London for 6 months and I honestly couldn't understand her when she came back - think she was not staying in a posh area.

And of course despite the fact my dad's family has been here for 160 years, they grew up in an area predominately populated by ex Scots, and they retained a little accent. So I have been known to put on an accent for fun, or worse unintentionally. My french accent btw also gets me in trouble - I have no problem with the accent, so people assume I speak and understand much better than I can.

At one point in university I went to a costume ball with a young lady (a Fraser) whose ancestry was also scottish and I wore a kilt. There happened to be pipers there and I put on the accent had them fooled for 5 minutes before I fessed up.

Seque on a few years and I'm at a house party. In come a couple of young fellows who were almost fresh off the boat.They had some beers, and I had some. I somehow slipped accidentally into their accent. They thought I was making fun of them and/or scotland. I came very close to taking a beating, both fellows were more fit than me, and despite the fact that they had consumed more alchol, they were also just plain angry. Cooler heads calmed them down and I left quickly.

So I can picture your college hijinks....
