Any chance of some Easter .ogg files this year? :P
Luckily we don't have to work in Binary.
Imagine 1100101 Dalmations or 1001100 Trombones.
Getting 1000000 MPG fom the car.
Getting nicked for doing 100011 in a 11110 limit.
Having Jane tell us 'In one one zero zero one zero zero zero yards, turn right'. Blimey, you'd be past the turn by then.
We must all keep level headed and keep our spirits up. :D _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property

Now that's qwhat I call overthinking a problem! |

So 100 BIN Qwhats = 1 Decimal Imperial Gallon
1 Gallon of water weighs 10 pounds
1 pint = 1.25 Decimal pounds
i.e 1 Qwhat = 101 BIN / Decimal 2 pounds or 1/896ths of a Ton.
Now that's qwhat I call an over-thinking problem. :P :P :P _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property

Ye Gods, this is making my stomach ache with chuckle. I had to spend ages getting to prove the Dalmatians, Trombones and Classy, but of course I knew already that ...
A pint of pure water,
Weighs a pound and a quarter.
BUT my O level maths of 1955 says 1Qwhat (or 101 bin pounds) = 0.00089286 of a ton. Might be something else of a tonne. I failed in fractions.
But I have to drive to Glasgow today, so I really must leave you now. _________________ Dennis

You now appear to have confused me with Michael Palin's characterisation of Pontius Pilate, ( the latter being, incidentally, a well known Roman physio that developed a total body conditioning system favoured by the Americans ).

Errm, this would mean you think the database IS rubbish, qwant a refund, accept that the database IS NOT rubbish after all, find binary stimulatingly confusing & 1010101110111010 are the hex best thing to come out of Sweden since Gustav Vasa......bit of a sweeping statement there, Classy.....

sorry to spoil the fun but this has gone too far off topic now...
MaFt
ps - why would you want to use firefox 1.5.0.3?! surely 2.0.0.2 is gonna be better seeing as it's the most recent? |
