- or 101/110 -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 5, 13:19
ok. - tRuMaN Mar 5, 13:13
this reads to me like you read the opposite of what I posted -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:12 12
- "you could never have an argument over what 1/3rd is in binary" ... yes, you can. It doesn't suddenly become rational. - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:13 10
  - the number 3 doesn't exist in binary, only 1 & 0 -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:17 9
    - the number 3 in base 10 is the number 11 in binary -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:18 8
      - base10 = dicimal and Hexadicimal is also 3 also 3 in octal system -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 5, 13:21 1
        
        ooh, yes, I was forgetting about octal. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:26
      - but then the argument would be what 1/11 is not what 1/3 is.... -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:19 4
        
        I'm just trying to say, it's the exact same argument. Changing the base only changes the pictographs, not the values. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:23 2
        
        and I'm just trying to say a real simple joke went right over your head -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 13:25 1
        
        oh. dang. sorry about that, then. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:27
        
        there is no decimal pont in binary it soes not excist -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 5, 13:22
      - (and it's 3 in hexadecimal and base-60 as well) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 13:18
- We are through the looking glass! -- nm - Spawn Mar 5, 13:13
