Remember the statement: ‘There are 10 kinds of people, those who know binary and those who don't’.

q. why do computer people confuse halloween with christmas?
a. because 31 OCT = 25 DEC

I made the mistake yesterday of trying to explain that joke to a non-computer person,
but all I actually achieved was that that person now thinks I'm an idiot.

I would have requested it in Babylonian sexagesimal.

SOOOOOO many ways she could have divided it up then.

base-60 to us non-latin speakers.

PS $11111111 = 4F

[[ note 4f = 281]]

OK don't tell her I cheated
Can't find the video I saw once (or clip in a doccie) showing how 60 wheat grains can be divided in a bus-load of different piles......its amazing in a middle eastern market place../....

If B=binary DEC=decimal does SEX=babylonial?

finding the hidden partition....how one arrives at an ex-wife

I didn't arrive at my ex-wife; she used to arrive at me.

Well, it took us 7 years to actually divorce, so technically she wasn't my ex-wife at the time, but: close enough.


video I saw once (or clip in a doccie) showing how 60 wheat grains can be divided in a bus-load of different piles

but more seriously, it could well be that the video you remember is... uh, hang on a sec, I've forgotten too.

Actually, the lizard brain says it was a some-or-other show episode on some or other channel where they visited some-or-other ..... I guess we're getting older Mate....

a real programmer puts two glasses on the bedside table before going to bed: one with water - if he wants to drink at night, the second empty - if he doesn't want to drink.

There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary code and those who don't.

A programmer's wife says:
"Go to the store and buy a bottle of gas.
If they have eggs, get 12."

He comes back with 12 bottles of gas.

Why?
Because they had eggs.

I'm not quite as bad as the eggcentric programmer, but I do hate double-barrelled yes/no questions eg:

Q. Were you home last night or at work?
A. Yes.

A perfectly accurate response that for some reason usually goes down even worse than:

Q. Were you home last night or at work?
A. Yes.
Unfortunately this is often the way my son replies to that kind of questions. :)
It could get worse. Immagine a reply like "Yes. No.". Should we infer that it means:
- yes I was at home. No I wasn't at work
- yes and no. Partly at home and partly at work
- yes and no. I can't recall exactly. Or I was working in my home's neighbour yard. Or I am uncertain about the correct answer

About the lady who dind't like the simple OK message. I agree with her. Her husband should have replied with a servile "Sure Master, as you ordered. <here goes her exact message, just in case..>".
Afterall he is her husband. (delights of marriage) A brother, son or friend should be ok with the given OK answer... :)
