A computer only reads binary values represented in bits. A bit is either on (1) or off (0). 8 bits, put together, make up a byte, the amount of space a character takes up in memory. Because each of these bytes is made up of 8 bits, there are 256 possible combinations and each of these represents a different character. If that doesn't make sense, I'm sure wikipedia has a relatively good article on it. I know that much... I mean is there a way to figure out what letter is what or is there just a list-type-thing you need to memorize? :/ There's a list of them. Google ASCII table and they should come up... You'll need to know how to convert from decimal to binary, though, since the ASCII tables usually have them numbered using the decimal system. EDIT: Death, forgive me, I forgot to give you a well done on the Forum Games sig, so I will do that here: Well done. :thumbsup:

Although, I will admit that most of those are at least a year old and my main chunk is probably from when I first joined TIF back in '06.

Banned for assuming that was a typo.

I'd ask where that is, but I doubt I'll eve end up on that list, so I don't really care.... Now, for a hidden message in binary: 01000010 01100001 01100011 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110100 01100001 01110011 01110100 01100101 01110011 00100000 01100111 01101111 01101111 01100100 00101110

01000010 01100001 01101110 01101110 01100101 01100100 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 00101110 And because all those 1's and 0's only make up 3 words.

It's not as detailed as it used to be (I wonder if the old page they had for it is still available somewhere?), but it's just on your main profile page on the left.

What ever happened to that page that told you all your posting statistics like most posted in topic/forum and posts/day and whatnot? EDIT: HAHA! I love not seeing things until right after I ask where they are....

Nice, monk! Best time-waster. EVER.

This thread is too far down the page for me to just leave it.... Oh, and just because I remembered I have this:

Ummm.... I think you got fire and wind mixed up there, Pirate. ;) Other than that, I just hope Captain Longcat does not turn to the dark side and scratch up all of the furniture.

I honestly think I've only been marked down for run-on sentences twice and I use them all the time. I've written what I thought was a paragraph only to reread it and find out that it was just one sentence. It's like a hobby now.... :thumbsup:

For the most part, run-ons can be broken up by replacing commas with periods, "and" with a ". Also," "but" with a ". However" and, "so" with a ". Therefore," but what's the fun in that?

Pfft... I use run-ons all the time and I haven't gotten anything less than an A in a lit. class in like forever, which is odd since I hate literature classes and I am definitely math and science oriented which is why I am double majoring in math and computer science and being a total geek.

That'd be me.

This is why I never post much... by the time I get on, everyone's going to sleep (it's only 7:05 where I am right now).

EDIT: I leave for a minute or two and everything turns to fail for me. :wall:

Blaspheme!!! I'm not sure what it's against, but it's got to be blaspheme somehow! Also, cabbage makes a terrible gift... Just sayin'.

I wonder how much meat I could get on that over-sized fork....... :-k Good night all.

"Be my escape" played on the radio about 10 minutes ago. :blink: I have that song on my computer... Going to listen to it now. lol Next up: Breakfast by the Newsboys When the toast is burned and all the milk has turned and Cap'n Crunch is wavin 'farewell... when the big one finds you, may this song remind you that they don't serve breakfast in Hell! ;)

Hmm... Looks to me like you're either trolling or you have a really crappy compiler. On another note, rand() is my friend. Yeah, crappy compiler :P Dev-C++ :/ I just opened a new source code file and it fixed itself... Quick question for you... Whenever I use rand(), it always says 41... Is it supposed to do that? :/ I've used rand() in a few different codes and it's always 41... Is this because I'm using Dev-C++ or am I doing something wrong? Also, can you recommend a less crappy compiler? :P Thanks... P.S. Did you really read back that far? :blink: In regards to rand(), you probably just need to seed it with the srand function. Next time you go to use rand(), include the ctime library and throw in this line before using rand(): srand(time(0)); Personally, I use Visual C++ for a compiler (it's a free download off of Microsoft's website) and haven't had many problems with it yet. And, yes, I really did read back that far. :grin: I like how you represented me in there. :thumbsup: :mrgreen: :ugeek:
