I am one of those kind of people who needs to know WHY! I can not fully grasp a concept until I know what did/may have drove a person to do such a thing. One of the reasons I like metric, it makes sense... where the standard system pulls this stupid 12 inches to a foot, and 3 feet to a yard and 5 thousand whatever ma butt feet in a mile. Well binary had always sat funny in my head (also hex) until I read this.
Along with the explanation of base systems... helped me understand binary so much better. (its not thousands place, hundreds place... but instead its 10^3 place, 10^2 place...) |

"You guys like to tell jokes, kid around, and giggle, giggling like a bunch of young broads sitting in a school yard" - Joe Cabot, Reservoir Dogs
Did you know that three objects are indistinguishable from four objects at a glance? Just look at ancient numbering systems: Arabic Roman Chinese 1 I 2 II 3 III 4 IV The pattern of having one stroke for each value of what we call one, stops after the first three characters, because otherwise it would be too hard to read. |

I am reviewing some girls from RU at the moment (for those who know me well). And I just grabbed some of my favorite "session descriptions" left by the girls themselves out of the last 10 archives I did.
DUD: heh, I never knew that... I always thought it was to save space seeing how roman numerals was such a space hog as it was! Then again I don't know chinese... and I still don't because I don't have the font! Thats the kind of stuff I like learning about. It interests me a lot. It is also probably why I am interested in etymology so much too. My enjoyment in etymology started when I was really young and felt that the word tree was a crap word for the tree. I asked my mother why such a grand thing would have such a dainty name. And ever since I have been obsessed with learning where words come from... along with other things... I need to get to the root of things to understand them best. (pun not really intended, but then again kinda is.) And one I found tonight... (2/15)
